Quality Features:

PIN FEEDING (easy foot lift operation)
It's easy to sew a wide variety of fabric thicknesses thanks to Brother's Pin Feed system for precision fabric feeding. The unique fabric separator feature joins lightweight linings to materials such as velvets and eliminates the puckering. The PQ1500 introduces an easy to use foot lift operation-the lower needle drops automatically when the presserfoot is lifted.

KNEE LIFT
The removable knee lift enables you to lift your presser foot... leaving both hands free for fabric handling.

DROP FEED
The feed dog adjustment knob lowers the feed dogs below the fabric plate for free motion sewing.

PRESSURE ADJUSTER
Rotate the presser foot pressure adjustment knob and adjust the presser foot pressure, color coded to coordinate presser foot pressure and feed dog height.

F.A.S.T. NEEDLE THREADER
Fast and simple threading says it all! Saves time and your eyesight, by automatically feeding the thread through the needle's eye.

AUTOMATIC THREAD CUTTER
With the touch of a button both top and bottom threads are neatly cut and threads are instantly reset for the next sewing operation.

AUTOMATIC NEEDLE-LOWERING MECHANISM
This convenient feature lets you pre-program the needle up/down position when the machine stops. Eliminates the need to rotate the balance wheel to lower the needle before retating fabric during a continuous stop and start sewing operation.

BOBBIN CASE COVER
The side cover makes care and maintenance around the bobbin case a breeze. Simply lift the side plate to open the bobbin case cover. Convenient for cleaning dust and thread in theneedle plate area and changing bobbins.
