  • Wonderful even for a novice
Style: PQ1500SL
I am a very novice sewer and I got this machine to do quilting. I have not taken a sewing class yet, and have taken only 2 quilting classes just so you know.I have only made napkins before... I got this machine just 2 days ago and love the features. I have used an $800 Husqvarna (spelling?) in class and like this so much better. I think it is very intuitive, easy to thread, love the knee presser foot lever and the reverse which is so easy. The bobbin winder was easy and I used it right out of the box. Getting the bobbin seated correctly was a little challenge but it just took practice. You need to make sure it "clicks" in. I am working on the automatic needle threader and I get it threaded about 15% of the time but have only tried this feature for about 20 minutes and I am getting the feel of it, having never used an automatic threader before. I also love the "thread cutter" button! Goodbye scissors! Only negative so far is that I bought the cheap thread on the large cone for about $4 and I kept getting nests of thread underneath the material. This went on for two hours even though they had sent a piece of material with perfect stitching. I changed the needle, the tension, the feed dog height and finally the thread. That was what did it. I went to a smaller spool. After having read other reviews, I am going to try the cheaper thread again but thread it over one and then three holes on the front of the machine (I have it now threaded with two holes) to see if that makes a difference. I think most would be very happy with the machine and if I can use it, anyone can! Update- I have had this machine for about a month and am still extremely pleased! I have figured out the needle threader, although it doesn't work as well on the cheaper threads it does work well with the smaller spool threads. I did run out of bobbin thread once and it would be nice to be able to see the bobbin, but that is a very minor issue. I still feel this machine is very intuitive and easy to thread and use and I am getting close to finishing my first quilt with it. Update: I’ve now had this machine for 6 months and STILL love it! I am more experienced now (having completed 2 quilts and a 4 piece quilted placemat set) and only find that the thread cutter leaves it a bit short ( but don’t usually have to retread) and the needle threader is a little difficult. But the positives outweigh the negatives and you can get this machine for about $60-100 less than what I paid. Highly recommend!!! ... show more

  • Perfect for small scale production sewing
Style: PQ1500SL
I already own a Singer Quantum Stylist which has all the fancy stitches, automatic buttonhole, etc. It's a fine machine but I needed something with a lot more power and speed to it, as well as more room in the throat. I make weighted blankets to sell, and during the holiday season I'm sewing up to 12 hours every day at moderate to high speeds. This machine goes SO fast. At top speed, when I'm doing 2 yard straight seams, I can just put the pedal to the metal and it feels like I'm in an industrial sewing warehouse. It gets really loud at top speed, and the neighbor I share a wall with finally got what was coming to him after hearing him blast his EDM music at all hours of the night. Ha! For sewing other projects, it does a really great job going through thick fabrics, especially with the walking foot. I love the size of the extension table. Also I love that it has a physical pedal for the backstitching. I really really hate that all the digital machines have buttons for reverse stitching. I need to be able to grab the pedal without looking for a button on a panel of 10 other buttons. Cons: - bobbin case is side loading, and there's nothing that alerts you when your bobbin thread has run out. I did eventually learn that there's a different sound when the bobbin has run out, so I can tell just by that. - the top thread tension dial is kind of hard to see. The numbers are labelled on the top so I have to really lean over the machine and get at the right angle. It also took me FOREVER to figure out that the dial shows different numbers when you have the presser foot lever up vs. down. - After heavy use for 1 year it's gotten super squeaky, despite proper lubrication. I've even tried over-lubricating and nope, it's still squeaky as an old wagon. - the pin feed stopped working. When I use the feed dogs on the pin feed setting, the pin lever doesn't move up and down anymore. Not sure what happened there. It was nice while it lasted. - the needle threader is complete trash, but it's better than nothing. Overall, it's a really great machine for the price, and I would buy it again. Brother is a good company that I trust. My local sewing machine repairman says that Brother is the best company to purchase from as far as repair and support goes, and he says after all his years repairing machines, the Brother machines have fared the best. He did mention that I probably shouldn't have purchased the PQ1500SL through Amazon...something about more parts being made out of plastic than if I had purchased it directly from Brother, but I can't find anything that supports that claim. ... show more

  • Excellent machine; great value.
Style: PQ1500SL
This machine is a workhorse. It's very heavy, single stitch, has a large throat, and is fast. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners- get a Brother cs6000i if you're just starting out (I've had mine for 12 years and it's still going strong). However, if you're wanting something more heavy duty and have been eyeing a Juki 2000, but they're just a little too pricey- this Brother machine is perfect- and it's walking foot works very well without the clunking that the Juki has. Learning to thread it and load the bobbin takes a little time if you're used to a fancier machine or a drop-in bobbin; however once you figure it out, it's very easy. I do burn through needles on this machine though (they get very dull quickly)- probably because it goes so fast, but it's worth it. The extension table is very large. Bulky seams and thick material don't cause any problems. It is a high shank machine, and can be used to free-motion quilt. The only thing I wish it had was a free arm. I've owned this for 6 months, and I'm still very happy with it. ... show more
