This is a dream machine that belongs in the sewing room of every serious quilter and seamstress. It is a high-speed straight stitching machine, sewing up to 1,500 stitches per minute.

The Brother exclusive adjustable pin feed mechanism ensures even-feed when dealing with problem fabrics while the adjustable feed dog levels with 4 different feed dog settings allows any fabric to easily glide through.

Boasting a removable knee lift, optional bed extension table for quilting, automatic thread cutter with F.A.S.T. needle threader, full range foot pressure adjustment plus 7 feet for quilting and dressmaking, the PQ1500SL promises efficiency and speed.
