YOU are the PERCECT Instructor. No details left out - BUT more important - not jam-packed with oceans of words to dilute the clarity. This is a VERY high technological piece of machinery that you calmly and clearly pointed out what a user needed to know. I had commented when I first became a Patron that you INSPIRE..... Thank you again and I'm looking forward to learning even more from you about the "Big Picture" of running a successful venture like yours.

[@TockCustom]

I cannot thank you enough for such a thoughtful and fantastic comment here - I love making videos and comments like this show me how much people like you appreciate them! I'll have lots more stuff throughout the winter, thank you very much for your support along the way!

[@jennymcreynolds5937]

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen of clear instructions for any multi needle machine. Thank you please continue to make videos.👍🏾💐

[@debbiegrosskopf2419]

You are a natural teacher!

[@TockCustom]

Thank you, Debbie! I just love sewing, so I'm glad that these videos translate well :)

[@pattyglover7983]

I absolutely love the way you explain things. So easy to watch you and understand. Thank you

[@dr.kimtownsel8467]

Thank you! I am sharing this with my Advanced Sewing Students so that they may learn to use our 1050X.

[@deedeewiegand4677]

Wow! I purchased a Brother Entrepreneur 6- Plus Saturday and even though the threading was a little different, all the rest of the tutorial was spot on to what I needed! I struggled all weekend trying to figure it out reading the manual to no avail, and then I found you. I think I’m in love! Thanks for showing these instructions so even a child could learn!

[@janiceisabelle76]

Thank you for a great video. My machine was delivered yesterday, still haven’t turned it on but I’m anxious to give it a run after watching your startup video. Going to check out more of your videos on the PR1055, your instructions are so crisp and clear, you’re a thorough teacher.

[@MiraScarletCosplay]

all the shots and transitions are so crisp and your ability to explain things so clearly is very admirable!! this video rocks!

[@TockCustom]

You should see my outtakes lol - seriously though, I appreciate it! All this work is so worth the final result in these videos :) Can't wait to help you with some of your projects!!

So happy I found your channel. I just got this machine 3 days ago and haven't had my intro class. You explained everything so clearly. Can't wait to see more from you and get stitching. Thanks

[@TockCustom]

I'm excited for you to start making and modifying some awesome new projects!! Thanks for watching, hope you have a wonderful weekend

[@dganet]

I will never complain about threading my sewing machine ever again!!! 🤣

[@paulajenkins6058]

Thank you so much for your clear instruction, with your you tube channel I have been able to understand how to use my PR1050x. I bought machine in 2019 and because of your channel I really got to embroidery . Many thanks

[@TockCustom]

Oh excellent! Yeah I did a demo on the PR1050X last year, and it's pretty much the same, so you should be good to go :)

[@cathyteramo8630]

Thank you Tock very much for this demonstration. I am French and do not speak English so I watched without sound but I understood your demo correctly. I already have a Stellar and I really want to switch to this machine but I wanted to observe how it worked. You are very calm and I really liked your video. Maybe I'll make up my mind but the coil system seems to me to take a long time to install. I also hope that we can put magnetic frames.

[@nanabekki]

I just discovered you today and was so impressed I already made a donation. Trust me when I say for me to do that...you hit the nail on the head!!! You were clear and on point and you have the perfect tone in your voice!! Thanks so much. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials.

[@TockCustom]

Oh my god, thank you SO MUCH for that donation! I truly appreciate it, seriously!! Very happy this was helpful and you enjoyed this video - I'll be sure today's lunch is in your honor

[@nanabekki]

@@TockCustom just now seeing that you replied!!! Now bring on more videos with the 1055x I was still in dreaming of getting one of those machines when I messaged you but NOW! I have one!!! Thanks to my husband!!! I need to know how to use it more. How to put in the needed stops for appliqué, how to hoop hats and use the camera, how to use the scanner etc etc!!! When to change needles based on fabric choices, how to handle metallic thread....the list is endless!

[@strow11]

I use to work at company that had 1 4-head brother embroidery machine and 2 6-head embroidery machines, that I would run all the same time, and I really miss it. Sadly, that business closed down a couple of years ago!... If I had the money I would for sure get one (or 2) of these machines!

[@TockCustom]

Oh for sure, if you can stay disciplined, you can basically print money with machines like that. Plus, you can obviously make crazy stuff nobody else can do!

[@desertdawn540]

I've had this setup for 3 days, and already got a $600 commission for one day of work - you can certainly make some decent income with a machine like this :) Thanks for watching!!

[@TockCustom]

Really appreciate the support! These have been really fun to make :)

[@semco72057]

Embroidery does require plenty of work before any work is started and that machine is extra special and can make the task so much easier by doing everything electronicly. I have a very large patch which I purchased from the area air force base to put on a jacket I have, but have not put it on yet. I wondered how much work went into making this patch and now I know after viewing your video and love how that machine works.

[@TockCustom]

Yep, just like sewing is 5% sewing, and 95% cutting, measuring, pinning, and planning - same goes for embroidery. I guess that goes for any craft - and the results are always worth it :)

[@robinbebbington7063]

@@TockCustom Fully agree the percentages of actual sewing vs all the other parts. Especially when you are designing your own items as I have been designing and making bags and the sewing is by far the quickest part of the whole operation.

[@sixpinkoneblue]

I have no plans of ever getting such an amazing machine but I fully enjoyed watching the unboxing and this video as well. Those patches look amazing!

[@TockCustom]

Glad you enjoyed it! Took me a long time to work up to something like this, but I'm so happy I did :D

You are welcome! Oh also make sure you close the metal thread guide on the top rack before you start your embroidery as well, that makes a HUGE difference 😊

I totally understand, I was given this machine to help Brother with a bunch of really exciting projects.

[@magdavanevery6302]

Can you do a video with the newer flat brim cap frame?

[@annettaross9621]

Awesome video can you tell me what size and where to purchase the stablizer for that size hoop. Thanks in advance.

[@Creative-Chaos]

I have watched several embroidery machine videos. By far, your presentation was the best. Excellent photography, great explanations. I do have one question- and I should add that I don't own an embroidery machine yet as I am contemplating buying one. Do you buy prewound bobbins or do you wind the bobbin? Is the bobbin thread typically always white?

[@TockCustom]

So with my smaller units I wind them myself using 'machine embroidery bobbin thread' manually (either black or white) - for this PR1055X, I buy premade (L-Type) Bobbins with a magnetic backing. They come in black or white. This machine doesn't actually have a function to wind its own bobbins, but all smaller units do. Hope that makes sense!

[@RevKat729]

I just got this machine. I'm gobsmacked. My eyesight is failing and I would like to know how I can switch spool colors and spool numbers so that if I have green on spool 3 but would like to switch green to spool 9, how would i do that??? This is the best tutorial I have found. You are a master instructor..

[@TockCustom]

Thanks!

[@marciayankelitis]

I just got this machine and the one thing that has me bewildered is the threading selection. I managed to set the machine up and even the wifi and got it threaded. But my confusion comes when I go to the screen and all the numbers are in the needle positions. I can't seem to get them changed. I found a page that has a clear settings button. I presses that and it cleared on that page but not when I went to embroider. So, I'm going to look to see if you have any videos explaining more about the thread selections. The gal at the store said for me not to pay any attention to the left side of the screen when looking at the colors. Confusing. Thank you for your time. I just saw you on Sewing Machines Plus and think you are amazing!
