Kay, you will love your new 1500S sewing machine. It is my workhorse and use it constantly for piecing and free motion quilting. I use all threads except Coats and Clark. For some reason, one of my other Brother sewing machines that I use for decorative stitching does not like it, so I certainly don't use it on the 1500S. Frequent dusting with a small paint brush and a pipe cleaner keeps the areas around the bobbin and under the faceplate clean. Get acquainted with your manual which will tell you where to oil (there are 'holes' on the top of the machine and by the faceplate for oiling) and I use just two to three drops of oil every two to three weeks. It is, by far, the best sewing machine I have ever used. I hope you will enjoy yours as well.
