When a professional 6-needle machine arrives at your shop, the first hour sets the tone for years of smooth stitching. This field guide follows a real Brother PR680W delivery to a shop in Imphal—from box to first stitches—so you can replicate a confident, error-free start.
What you’ll learn
- How to unbox and assemble the PR-series machine without stress or damage.
- How to mount the display and thread stand, set the clock, load spools, and thread each needle.
- How to select designs, preview orientation/size, and run clean first stitches.
- What to check for stitch quality and tension during live embroidery.
- How Bazar91 supports delivery, setup, and first-run guidance.
Primer (What & When) The Brother PR680W is a multi-needle embroidery machine suited to production-minded shops and growing businesses. In this real-world setup, the unit was dispatched from Kolkata, flew to Imphal, and was driven to the customer’s shop before unboxing, assembly, threading, and four successful test embroideries. If you’re preparing for your own installation, use this as a model sequence to reduce variables and validate quality quickly. brother pr 680w
- When to follow this playbook: first-time setup, after relocation, or post-service reassembly.
- What this guide covers: delivery handoff, unboxing, thread stand and display attachment, clock setup, spools loading, threading, design selection, and running test designs (bird, shield/crest, cup, hands/unity).
- What it doesn’t: power/cabling specifics, hoop sizes, stabilizer selection, or calibration beyond what’s shown in the demonstration.
Quick check: After delivery, inspect the carton for strap tension and any crush points on corners before cutting anything open.
Prep Tools and materials observed in the field delivery
- Cutting tool: scissors for straps and tape.
- Packaging: plastic straps, styrofoam, plastic wraps.
- Machine and core accessories: PR680W, included hoops, main display unit, thread stand components.
- Embroidery consumables: threads, fabric, standard hoop.
Workspace and prerequisites - Workspace: flat, stable table or stand in your shop for the machine body; clear area for accessories.
- Prerequisites: basic familiarity with multi-needle threading and touchscreen navigation.
Pro tip: Keep the shipping carton and styrofoam until you’ve completed all test designs. If you need to reposition or return for service, original packaging reduces risk. brother embroidery machine
Prep checklist
- Clear a stable surface for the machine and another for accessories.
- Stage scissors; cut only straps you can see and control.
- Keep packaging nearby until tests are complete.
- Confirm you have thread colors and a hoop ready for tests.
Setup Unboxing and component assembly 1) Cut straps and open the box. Remove upper styrofoam carefully so you can reuse it if needed.
2) Lift out accessory packs (hoops, tools) and set aside.
3) Lift the machine body out and remove the plastic cover.
4) Attach the touchscreen display unit by sliding it into its mount until it seats securely.
Watch out: Avoid lifting from the needle head area when removing the machine; support the main body to prevent stress on the head and carriage. machine embroidery hoops
Attaching the thread stand - Assemble the stand from its packaged parts and attach it to the machine’s mounting points. Ensure all joints are tight and there’s no wobble.
Setting date and time - Open the Clock Display on the touchscreen and set date (18.03.2023 in the demo) and time (04:47 PM in the demo).
Setup checklist
- Display attached firmly; no play in the mount.
- Thread stand assembled, tightened, and stable.
- Date/time set and verified on the screen.
Operation / Steps Load spools for your test design - Place each thread spool onto the thread stand pegs with a clear path to the guides. Organize colors logically for the design you’ll stitch first.
Quick check: Spin each spool lightly—threads should unwind smoothly with no snagging on nearby posts or labels. embroidery frame
Thread the machine (all needles) - Guide each thread through the numbered pathways and tension guides to its needle.
- Use the automatic needle threader for each selected needle to seat the thread through the eye cleanly.
- Verify that threads are in the tension discs correctly and there are no cross-overs between paths.
Pro tip: Thread one color at a time from spool to needle, then immediately do a gentle tension pull test at the needle. Consistency now prevents mid-run breaks later. brother multi needle embroidery machine
Train the operator and select the first design
- Walk through the touchscreen interface: navigating menus, resizing, and rotating designs.
- Select the first test: a bird design from the pre-loaded library.
- Confirm position and scale on the preview screen before hooping fabric.
Decision point: If your fabric is thin or loosely woven, add stabilizer and hoop with adequate tension; if it’s sturdier, standard hooping tension may suffice. (The demonstration shows traditional hooping; no stabilizer details are provided.)
Run the first test (bird)
- Hoop fabric and mount it on the machine arm.
- Start the embroidery and monitor stitching and automatic color changes.
- Observe stitch quality and tension throughout the run.
Outcome to expect: A completed multi-color bird with clean outlines and correct color sequencing.
Second test (shield/crest) - Select the shield/crest design, load fresh fabric, and run the second stitch-out.
- Continue to watch thread paths and tension as colors change.
Outcome to expect: A crisp emblem with consistent fills and clear edges.
Third test (cup) - Select the cup design and run the embroidery to verify detail handling on smaller motifs.
Outcome to expect: Clean small-scale details, even density, tidy trims.
Fourth test (hands/unity) - Choose the hands/unity design and complete the final demonstration stitch-out.
Outcome to expect: Even stitch formation across shapes and smooth transitions through multiple colors.
Operation checklist
- Spools placed securely and paths verified.
- Each needle threaded and tension-checked.
- Design selected, previewed for size/rotation.
- Fabric hooped and mounted level with the machine arm.
- Monitor stitching, tension, and color changes throughout.
Quality Checks At each milestone, use these quick validations to stay ahead of issues.
After threading
- Gentle pull test at each needle: resistance should be consistent across needles.
- Visual: no thread crossing between numbered paths.
After hooping
- Fabric surface lies flat; the hoop is evenly tensioned.
- Test jog (without stitching): the needle path should clear hoop edges.
During stitching
- Stitches sit on the fabric without loops or puckering.
- Color changes trigger automatically and proceed in the expected sequence.
After completion
- Back side: thread tails are tidy; no excessive nesting.
- Front side: edges are smooth; fills appear even without gaps.
Quick check: If you see intermittent tightness (puckering) in the middle of a fill, pause and confirm the thread path for that needle is fully seated in its tension discs. embroidery machine price

Troubleshooting & Recovery Symptom → likely cause → fix
- Thread breaks early in a run
• Cause: Thread not fully seated in tension discs or path crossover. • Fix: Re-thread the affected needle from spool to eye; confirm correct numbered path.
- Skipped stitches on a color
• Cause: Improper threading or insufficiently seated thread before auto-threading. • Fix: Re-thread and use the automatic needle threader to finish at the eye; retest with a short run.
- Wobbly thread stand
• Cause: Incomplete assembly or loose fasteners. • Fix: Tighten stand connections until rigid; press lightly on each joint to validate stability.
- Misaligned design on fabric
• Cause: Hoop not level or design orientation not confirmed. • Fix: Re-hoop with even tension; recheck rotation/size on the preview before stitching.
Watch out: Never tug thread from the needle end to “help” tension during stitching. This can distort pathing and escalate breaks; stop, re-thread properly, and resume. brother embroidery machine
Quick isolation tests
- Single-needle test: If one color looks off, pause and run a small motif on that needle alone to isolate tension or path issues.
- Dry-run preview: Jog the carriage around the design boundary to confirm hoop clearance without stitching.
From the comments
- “Do you deliver to Africa?” — The seller replied yes, with WhatsApp +91 9163843100 for details.
- “Price?” — Repeated questions received the same direction: message WhatsApp 9163843100 for a current quote.
Why this sequence works
- You front-load risk management: careful unboxing, stable stand/display, and correct date/time reduce avoidable confusion later.
- You standardize threading: one path at a time, verified at the needle, prevents mid-run stops.
- You validate across multiple designs: running bird, shield/crest, cup, and hands ensures your checks cover different stitch behaviors and densities.
Looking ahead
- Maintain the same discipline for future setups after transport or service.
- Keep your first four stitch-outs as shop samples—they set your quality baseline and help train new staff.
Pro tip: Keep a simple log after each setup—date/time, designs stitched, any tension tweaks—so you have a reference when training operators or comparing future runs. brother pr 680w
