I really like everything I can find on the Brother PQ1500-S, but just not the price! I get off work at 2 on Thursday and don't have to pick the youngest until 3:30 and the others at 4:30. If I run over at a dealer, I can have someone pick up the youngest with no problems. I'm mapping out my afternoon to hit as shops as I can that sell ones that have been upgraded. Can you think of anything I should add to this list that I'm probably forgetting?
Here is my MUST have list...albeit a small one.
1. Must have throat capacity to fit a rolled, bed size quilt.
2. Must either come with or find availability for quilting accessory feet. MUST have all of the following:
a. 1/4" foot
b. Walking foot
c. darning or FMQ foot.
3. Must be easy to thread the machine.
4. Must have needle threader
5. Would really like it to be easy to remove lint from.
Here is the would be nice list:
Needle down option to pivot is nice, but not necessary.
Owners manual needs to be relatively easy to understand.
DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT:
Don't want to have to use Cone thread
Don't want it to be so complicated I can't figure out how to use it without excessive classes.
