Review: A real home industrial machine - The Good This machine is the home version of an industrial Juki in function. It even threads almost exactly like a Juki. I use industrial Jukis at school, and I wanted something similar for home, but without the mandatory table and vat of oil. I also wanted to be able to transport it for repairs when necessary. This machine suits my need for speed and a knee presser foot lifter. Machine uses industrial needles and bobbin. That means I already have accessories, because I have them for school. The Slightly Annoying The caveat with the bobbin is that while it takes regular industrial bobbins, it needs the one it comes with, with the slot, to wind properly. If you use a sidewinder for bobbins, this won't be an issue. This machine is substantially heavier than a regular home machine, most of the body is metal. I looked inside and some of the gears are metal, some are plastic, so I don't know how this will work out over the long run. The really annoying I despise the thread cutter. I'm hoping there's a way to disable it, even if I have to take it to a sewing machine repair place to do so. It cuts to close, meaning there isn't a tail left behind so you have to rethread the top thread and the bobbin. Also the thread cutter comes on when you are changing stitch length within the same scene, such as when you are doing a basting stitch for a zipper and then you change to a smaller stitch for the rest of the scene. This is a time I do not want the thread cut. I don't want to be interrupted have to rethread the machine then resume sewing. Still, this is a great machine, less fussy than an industrial, and cheaper than a similar model Juki quilting machine. Review: Perfect for small scale production sewing - 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 desertcart...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. ## Features - 1,500 Stitches per minute max sewing speed: Maximum stitching of up to 1,500 stitches per minute allows you to sew and quilt more in less time - Advanced needle threading system: This sewing and quilting machine includes an automatic needle threader that perfectly pushes the thread through the needle and a convenient, jam resistant drop-in top bobbin - Included accessories: The PQ1500SL longarm sewing and quilting machine comes with a wide table, 7 sewing feet, knee-lifter, instruction manual and more. The removable knee-lifter enables you to lift your presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free for fabric handling - Precision pin feeding system: It's so easy to sew a wide variety of fabric thicknesses thanks to Brother's Pin Feed system for precision fabric feeding - At your side support: The PQ1500SL quilting and sewing machine comes with Brother at your side support offering free technical support via online, live chat or phone for the life of your machine - This product is intended for sale only in the US at 120 volts, and any other use or sale voids the warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0149GG9V4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #66,239 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #168 in Sewing Machines | | Brand | Brother | | Brand Name | Brother | | Color | Wide Table | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,233 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012502641551 | | Included Components | Carton Contents Knee lifter, accessory kit with needle packet, ballpoint needle, spool cap, fabric separator, feed pin, feed pin changer, metal bobbins (5), seam guide, cleaning brush, screwdrivers (2), spool cushion, power cord and Operation Manual|USB Cable Not Included|Warranty 2/6/25 Year Premium Limited Warranty | | Input Voltage | 120 volts_of_alternating_current | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.9"D x 12.6"W x 19.3"H | | Item Type Name | Brother PQ1500SL Sewing and Quilting Machine, Up to 1,500 Stitches Per Minute, Wide Table, 7 Included Feet | | Item Weight | 29.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Brother International | | Material | Metal | | Model Number | PQ1500SL | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | PQ1500SL | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 7.9"D x 12.6"W x 19.3"H | | UPC | 012502641551 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brother - **Color:** Wide Table - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00012502641551 - **Is Electric:** Yes - **Item Weight:** 29.8 Pounds - **Material:** Metal - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 7.9"D x 12.6"W x 19.3"H - **UPC:** 012502641551 ## Images ![Brother PQ1500SL Sewing and Quilting Machine, Up to 1,500 Stitches Per Minute, Wide Table, 7 Included Feet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51erGG1tf6L.jpg) ![Brother PQ1500SL Sewing and Quilting Machine, Up to 1,500 Stitches Per Minute, Wide Table, 7 Included Feet - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ACuOchF7L.jpg) ![Brother PQ1500SL Sewing and Quilting Machine, Up to 1,500 Stitches Per Minute, Wide Table, 7 Included Feet - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61l+1B4iiWL.jpg) ![Brother PQ1500SL Sewing and Quilting Machine, Up to 1,500 Stitches Per Minute, Wide Table, 7 Included Feet - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+s98KtIYL.jpg) ![Brother PQ1500SL Sewing and Quilting Machine, Up to 1,500 Stitches Per Minute, Wide Table, 7 Included Feet - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i4OzkvonL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can pre-wound bobbins be used in this machine** A: We do recommend using pre wound bobbins. The machine uses the SA159 bobbins which are class 96 Type L metal bobbins. **Q: Has anyone solved the problem of the clipper jerking your thread out so you have to re thread?** A: That was happening to me too, I found that it stops if you only put the thread through one of the 3 holes in the thread guide at the top of the machine (directly above the tension dial). The instructions say to put it through 2 of the holes, which creates more tension. If you only use one, it will stop pulling the thread out of the needle. **Q: Where does the bobbin load into this machine?** A: If you are looking at the machine straight on - like pictured here - the metal plate just to the left of the needle lifts up and under it a door opens down and the bobbin is housed inside. it is not a drop in. It is very easy to remove and load the bobbin. To load you just push it in until you hear the click. **Q: will this machine work with rulers? My current brothers machine does not like to sew in certain directions when quilting with ruers** A: Hi, I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately I can't. I have never quilt, I only do bags. I did go to YouTube to search for an answer for you, I didn't find the answer but I did find Angela Walter's talking about low and high shank sewing machines and how to use the rulers. Go to YouTube and search for The Beginners Guide to Machine Quilting with Rulers- Introducing to Shorty.

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.
