Brother PQ1600S High-Speed Straight Stitch Sewing Machine

Nice machine. It’s my 4th one. I do sew a lot. And it’s very fast

I have been using this for a year, so it is time to write a review. Like many other reviewers, I needed to upgrade my equipment for quilting after spending many years using a cheap Brother, which still runs great and which I still love. I got this one because of the brand, the good price, the large work space, and importantly, the lack of computers. As others have pointed out, it is very heavy and it does only one thing, which is to sew a straight line, but it does that one thing flawlessly. I have not had many of the problems others have mentioned. Yes the bobbin and threading mechanisms are

I previously owned the predecessor to this machine, and sadly during a studio remodel it got dropped and the drop destroyed the machine. So, I opted to get this newer version and I could not be happier. I have been a professional seamstress and quilter for over 50 years. A good high speed straight stitch machine is an absolute necessity in my studio. I am very pleased with my PQ1600S. The stitch quality is perfect and the machine is a solid work horse.I can put this machine through hours and hours of constant use and it never hiccups, it never skips a stitch, it's not as loud as my old brother

Have had this machine for a week and already LOVE it! It’s easy to to get up to speed with, threading is pretty easy, is quiet, sturdy, stitches nicely… The only negative for me would be that the location of the bobbin is a little awkward.. a very nice utility and quilting machine! From a sewist of 40 years

The machine performs as expected, it’s a Brother top user friendly best performance machines. However I was disappointed that for the price point of this machine I didn’t get a walking foot. It wouldn’t been nice

This vendor upgraded me to a brand new machine at no additional charge. I threaded and love the machine works great. Highly recommend brand and this seller.

My review is not going to the product itself because i know for a fact that is an amazing machine. My review goes to the item listed as “used -very good” . I have bought this option and i had to returned. Fromthe beginning i knew something wasn’t ok, The condition of the intern packaging was terrible. The machine brought several pieces and accessories broken. One of them was the Feet dog adjuster knob. Don’t buy this option unless you don’t care to keep it this way.

I'm so glad I purchased. No fancy stitches or modes. Just fast straight stitching that's a workhorse. No problem with many layers in quilting and vinyl, pleather, cork like sewing on cotton. I have a machine for zigzags and more when needed. But this Brother is my basic set up ready to sew machine. I only buy Brother as they continue to produce excellent machines. I have an old Kenmore but only because it was given to me.
