The one tool every committed quilter needs is the quilting sewing machine. The Brother PQ1500sl is just right to fit the bill. Wondering why? Read on…..   Brother PQ1500SL quilting machine

The PQ1500SL is a high-speed straight sewing machine that can produce 1500 stitches a minute. Its push-button automatic thread trimmer and built-in needle threaders save time without compromising on sewing quality.

The machine has an adjustable pin feed mechanism with a pin extending under it. It’s this pin that lets you exchange feed dogs as and when needed while sewing. It moves all the quilt layers together, including delicate velvet without leaving any feed dog marks.  It is a sturdy quilting machine with a large throat plate and a table extension that works perfectly.

The presser foot pressure adjustment dial works with the feed dog adjuster for easier sewing on fabrics of different thicknesses. This helps maintain smooth and consistent stitches. The thread cutter cuts both upper and bottom threads while the knee lifter makes quilting easier.
