Introduction
The Brother PR1050X is a high-end consumer and professional entry level embroidery machine.
In Switzerland, list price is 12'000 CHF, in Germany 11'000 Euros. Street prices can be less and even lesser for education.
I ordered such a model and by fall 2017 there should be more information in this page - Daniel K. Schneider (talk) 09:02, 4 July 2017 (CEST)

The Machine can not directly stitch from design files like EMB or ART.

- Several version of PES seem to exist. Newer versions may not work on older machines
- PES is the default format to export from your embroidery software.
PEN
