This has been my GO TO machine for about 10 years now and I will tell you, she is the BEST workhorse of a sewing machine I have EVER had!!!! She will sew like a dream on cotton, flannel, fleece and the heavest of upholstrey fabric ( I make a lot of dog beds ) and she has never ONCE skipped a stitch on me. I also drop the feed dogs and have done quilts all the way from baby to super King size all FMQ without a stand/table.
Yes, I love love love my Brother 1500!!!!!
