I had trouble with my 1500. I did have it serviced by a Brother dealer, and it came back worse. The tech knew nothing about the 4 feed dog positions and had the cam set so you couldn't use the pin feed. I had the manual and got help to fix it. (I can't undo tight screws) Got it fixed and it took an immediate dislike to good thread - Superior for one. I have no idea as to whether the tech futzed with the thread feeding system or not.
I finally had it and traded for a Juki. We'll see how it does.
I'm not brand loyal, I just want something that works. I normally won't touch Brother machines as they support Disney on the embroidery machines. I hate ESPN (Disney owns it)
