Comparisons

Juki TL-98E sewing machine is 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 seperating 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 TL98E is made in Japan and the Brother PQ1500S is made in Taiwan.

Brother International, Bridgewater NJ
Brother International Corporation Earns Nod from Esteemed Fashion Industry Expert BRIDGEWATER, N.J., — Deemed the machine that belongs in the sewing room of every serious quilter and seamstress, the PQ1500S from Brother International Corporation was put to the test by Francesa Sterlacci, former Chairperson of New York's Fashion Institute of Technology and current instructor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Touting one of the fastest sewing speeds in the market and the ability to stitch a variety of fabrics with precision, the PQ1500S passed a rigorous fashion critique ultimately earning the prestigious approval of Sterlacci. "As a professor of fashion design for the past 18 years, I have been looking for a home sewing machine that could handle garment weight leather material. I finally found what I was looking for in the Brother PQ1500S," said Sterlacci. "This machine operates with industrial machine strength but is much easier to operate. Its walking foot attachment, as well as other attachments, allows the sewer to go from heavyweight materials to the finest chiffons with ease. I highly recommend this machine to students, teachers, beginners and even experienced home sewers. It's portable, powerful and a breeze to operate." The fashion industry is renowned for meticulous reviews and candid criticism, making Brother extremely proud to earn the approval of Sterlacci. As one of the fastest home sewing machines on the market, the PQ1500S sews at speeds up to 1,500 stitches per minute. Maneuvering large projects is easy on its oversized bed, which is arguably one of the most generous sewing areas in the industry. The PQ1500S allows pucker free stitching on almost any fabric, which fashion designers like Sterlacci consider an imperative feature. As an additional benefit, designers will enjoy its unique fabric separator feature, which helps to join different fabric weights (such as lightweight lining and velvet) without puckering. The automatic thread cutter instantly resets both top and bottom threads when touched, making it easy to achieve a complete project with minimal setup and adjusting. In addition to its optimal capabilities for clothing designers, the PQ1500S is ideal for quilting projects because of its four feed dog settings for maximum fabric control. The oversized extension table provides easy access to the vertical bobbin while allowing quilting enthusiasts the ability to create quilts of all sizes. With a 3-point quick reference stitch guide including a pin feed, the pin drops automatically when the presser foot is lifted for enhanced machine intuitive functionality. "The popularity behind Project Runway has really driven interest among aspiring designers and the Brother brand. Francesa Sterlacci's approval is a true testament to the capabilities of the PQ1500S and Brother's continued ambition to deliver high quality, innovative products that fashion designers can feel confident using," said Dean F. Shulman, senior vice president and head of Brother's home appliance division. "We are excited that Sterlacci enjoyed the PQ1500S enough to recommend it to students, teachers and enthusiasts of all skill levels."

I was very impressed with the whole process. I usually donot order anything that i have not seen in person but the exception paid off in dividends...love the machine and now your company. THANK YOU...JOAN

Carole, Connecticut
I had not been able to find the model sewing machine which I purchased from you anywhere locally, and was delighted to find this machine which I particularly wanted. Thank you. Carol

LaWanda Doyle, USA
I just want to tell you what a nice experience it was buying a sewing machine from you on line. I am fairly new to the online buying but this was totally painless. I received the machine right on time and was able to track it all the way. And I got the machine for $500 less than I could have in the store locally. The machine is all I anticipated.

Stephen Davis,
Purchased the Brother PQ1500 from you a couple of months ago and I wanted to drop a line to say thanks! This truly is a great machine. I have a Pfaff, and while each machine compliments one another, it's a little hard to go back and sew on the Pfaff for a quilt or garment requiring just straight stitching. The PQ1500 is just so user friendly with great stitching and speed control. The Brother PQ1500 truly reflects consumer thinking on Brother's behalf. But most of all, thank you.

Angie Kiker,
I think every machine quilter needs the Brother PQ-1500! It is perfect for free motion quilting with the large arm, needle up/down, knee lift, and my favorite, the thread cutter and needle threader! Plus the pin feed is wonderful for piecing and putting on binding! I can't say enough about this great sewing machine that ALL the features a quilter needs, plus it comes with all the optional feed you will need for quilting! What a bargain! I LOVE MY Brother PQ 1500!
