Product Description

AllBrands is a Brother Authorized Dealer and ASC Authorized Service Center for warranty repairs. We give unlimited tech support by email, fax, phone, text and cell plus service in our shop and referral to nearest ASC. Mass merchants do not have tech service or repair departments for your equipment like we do. They are unable to help you directly, only referring your operational, mechanical or electronic questions back to Brother customer service desk (not their mechanics) instead of taking care of the problems themselves. Brother and customers should expect that any problems you might have will be taken care of by the dealer who sold you the equipment, not simply by referring your requests back to the manufacturer.

Comparisons

Juki TL-98, TL2000, and TL2010 sewing machines are almost identical to the Brother PQ-1500S, except the Brother has exclusive pin feeding mechanism, a longer 7 mm versus 6 mm stitch length, and several extra feet (invisible zipper and fabric separating foot). Juki has an exclusive foot control switch for auto thread trim and raising needle all in one operation (saves time) Both machines do equally well straight seaming, but have varied in past free motion quilting performance which has now been corrected. Brother also has a heavier duty walking foot attachment. The Juki TL98 was made in Japan and the Brother PQ1500S is made in Taiwan. New Juki 2000Qi and 2010Q are made in Shanghai. Janome 1600P is made in Taiwan.

F.A.Q.

Click HERE for Solutions.Brother.com FAQ's and Trouble Shooting on PQ1500S Nouvelle Sewing and Quilting Machine

Why does my needle thread break on freemotion when straight stitch sewing is fine.
For freemotion quilting on a frame, please try Schmetz Size 16 Denim needles, A&E Signature cotton quilting thread, fabric pressure gauge at 1/2 way (down or up on the window gauge),and make sure the quilt is down flat against the flatbed of the machine so fabric won't ride up and down on the needle (flagging). Also run the machine faster and move the fabric slower, so the needle won't bend in the fabric. Also feel for any needle burrs on the rotary hook, needle plate or bobbin case that might catch thread. Burrs can be polished off with Crocus cloth from the hardware stores. Please advise what works or doesn't work for you. John Douthat, Owner & Tech

Comments & Reviews

Donna Taylor, Whidbey Island WA
Althought I just received my PQ1500S today, I am thrilled with it. I bought it for quilting on a frame but know I will be using it for piecing also. It is strongly built. Sewed absolutely perfectly out of the box. I tried the free motion quilting foot and it worked perfect. You don't need a stitch regulator with this guy, it sews perfectly. I had black thread on top and white in the bobbin and NO WHITE showed on top. I can't do this with my Bernina 440QE. I ordered this machine on May 1 (late at night) and it was on my door step (on the west coast) on the am of May 4 - and that was free shipping. I am so impressed with Allbrands customer service also. Always answered my questions and were very friendly. I am recommending this machine to all my quilting friends.

I am very impressed with my shopping experience with AllBrands and will definitely shop here again. I have not been able to use my machine yet due to my work schedule.... hence the n/a on product quality.

Hugh, Florida
This purchase was very easy via telephone. I could not make the site on line work for me, but that was all right as I could phone in. I love my machine; it's the second one I have owned, so I knew its capabilities. My other one is being used by a friend who makes hats for cancer patients, young children and adults. it works just fine.

Leween, California
I love this machine. Glad I bought it.

I don't know about Standard and Poors, but you get my AAA rating. You were recommended by someone off of www.quiltingboard.com and they were so right. I found a machine I could afford and that met my specific needs. The shipping was fast and priced right..... free! I would definitely recommend you to my sewing friends.

Michael, Texas
So far I have nothing but praise for Allbrands and the Brother PQ1500S sewing machine I recently purchased from them. I have not had a chance to really sew much on the machine, but from all the reviews I have seen, this machine will more than meet my expectations! The shipping was extremely fast, and the machine was double boxed with plenty of packing material, so it was definitely shipped safely. Thank you!

Pat, Ohio
John - thank you so very much for your fast response I am up and running again. thanks I am even happier that I am dealing with your company. I will certainly be telling everyone.

Kathleen, Oregon
Thanks so much. I am super duper pleased with both my machine and the service I have received from your company. You were recommended by some one off of www.quiltingboard.com and they were spot on. I made a tote and smaller bags to house the extension plate, accessories and the foot pedal when I am not using the machine. It was a good exercise in the main features I bought the machine for...free motion quilting, straight sewing, and zippers. Worked like a charm. Thanks again!

Gregory, California

Kath, Georgia
I will be back! : )
