Product Description

The Brother PQ1500SL quilting and sewing machine is a fantastic machine that belongs in the sewing room of every serious quilter and seamstress. The PQ1500SL is a high-speed straight stitching machine that produces lightning-fast sewing up to 1,500 stitches per minute. It also features a push-button automatic thread trimmer that allows you to save time without compromising the quality of your sewing projects. The inclusion of a built-in needle threader makes threading simple and time-saving.

The Brother PQ1500SL quilting and sewing machine also features an adjustable pin feed mechanism that allows you to exchange the use of the feed dogs for a single pin that cleanly extends from beneath the machine. This moves all layers of your quilt together or moves a delicate velvet without leaving feed dog marks in the nap. Four additional feed dog settings allow for maximum fabric control, while a knee lifter and bed extension table are added for quilting.

The Brother PQ1500SL also features a full range foot pressure adjustment and an automatic thread cutter with a fast. Needle threader – which is a huge time-saving convenience. This machine is additionally backed by a 25-year limited warranty with support for the life of the product.

Awesome Heavy Duty Quilting Machine

Awesome Heavy Duty Quilting Machine
This was my first sewing machine, and I’ve had it for a little over a year now. I’d say that it works for beginners, but I want to emphasize that this kind of machine does one thing, but does it well: straight stitch. This machine won’t do zig zag stitches or any of the other fancy ones, but it sews quickly and the stitches are neat. Do not buy this machine if you want more stitch options! Do buy this machine if you want a high powered quilting machine with a good throat space.What You Get: The machine comes with several feet that you can put on easily. The free motion quilting foot, walking foot, and 1/4” foot are the three you’ll likely use the most if you’re quilting. My 1/4” foot is actually a 1/4”, so it’s a nice tool to have for seam allowance. There are a few others that I haven’t used as much, but you are getting a pretty wide variety! And theoretically, any high shank foot will work with this machine. You get a metal bobbin, some cleaning tools, a few needles, and a screwdriver set as well. There’s an extension table that helps quite a bit with the weight of the quilt.Pros: This machine has held up very well since I got it last December (12/2019). I’ve taken it to get serviced and haven’t had many problems. I’ve quilted twin sized quilts on my PQ1500SL, and I’d say it could sew a queen sized as well. My caution with quilting king and queen quilts is that the amount of fabric would be a pain to manage, although I’d say it’s doable!Once you get the hang of threading it, the machine is very straight forward to manage. It has a lever to the right for the back stitch function, and you can adjust need height, tension, and stitch length. If there’s an issue with the machine, I’d suggest rethreading it to see if that fixes it. It’s worked most of the time for me!The machine holds the fabric pretty still when you’re sewing. I’ve swapped back and forth between this and a more entry level machine that I got for the stitches, and I’m amazed at how well the Brother grips the fabric.Finally, the price for this is amazing. Look for any other straight stitch machine, and they’ll like be over 1000. The exception being the Juki, but I’m unfamiliar with that machine. The Brother really is a good deal for the amount of power you’re getting in this machine.Cons:You can’t see the bobbin and don’t get told when you’re running short. This is a huge pain if you’re mid quilting.Thread cutter cutting short. I’ve seen this in a lot of reviews- this is a pain. I’ve found that raising the foot tends to eliminate this problem; I’ll just tug the thread to get it to a longer length. If you’re not watching it though, you’re going to have to rethread the machine.Automatic threader- I have never used this. I tried following the pictures and I have no idea what’s going on over there. Hand threading is easy, so no worries.Hope this little novel helps!

Reviewed in Canada on June 5, 2021
I've only had this machine for a few days but what a work horse! I've done some small quilting and the 1/4 " foot is great. I used the walking foot to repair the canvas cover for my husband's boat and it didn't bat an eye at it. Strong, fast and surprisingly quiet. I'll update when I've used this a little more but so far I'm impressed.
I'd read some reviews and it takes a bit of getting used to the threading and bobbin on this machine. This is definitely not a beginner or entry level machine. Also the needle threader is probably the most pathetic thing I've seen, but so far that's the only drawback.
