Brother PQ1500S Quilting Machine Review

The Brother PQ1500S Sewing And Quilting Machine is a popular choice for quilters that use a machine for piecing and quilting. It falls in the upper-mid price range for a portable but is worth the money because it performs like a professional sewing machine. This Brother quilting machine touts a sewing speed of 1500 stitches per minute, making it one of the fastest on the market. Along with the machine you get a generous accessory kit and a tapestry patterned carrying case with wheels.

Large Extension Table And Knee and Foot Controls

This Brother Machine Gives You The Tools To Quilt

The attachable extension bed is large enough to handle big projects like quilt assembly, or even draperies. And the Brother PQ1500s model has a knee control for the presser foot and a foot pedal to control stitching speed. This leaves your hands free to manage the project with ease. This machine makes patchwork and quilting a breeze, and is easy to learn to use. That makes it perfect for beginners and experienced quilters alike.

Automatic Threader, Top and Bobbin Thread Cutter, Exclusive Pin Feed

Brother PQ1500S Sewing Features

This sewing machine has some great all purpose features and some that are perfect for machine quilters. Brother's FAST needle threader saves time and frustration, and both the top and bobbin thread can be cut with the press of a button and automatically reset for the next use.

There is a pin feed system that allows you to sew patchwork pieces together easily. It allows you to get a perfect point where the quilt pieces come together. Once the presser foot is lifted the pin automatically drops for safety. No fabric slipping or sliding. The adjustable feed dogs also drop when the presser foot is lifted and there is a programmable needle stop position, eliminating the need to turn the wheel every time you begin.
