hello, i am new and i have a problem i just bought a pq1500s brother sewing machine ,am just learning to use it on a quilting frame and the bobbin locked up on me and i don't know how to fix it or to find the automatic safety device. i have been doing quilts a long time but first time machine quilter and maybe last if i broke my machine to bad. i'm from Idaho and have arabian horses and love to quilt but don't know much about it.If any one has an idea what i did please let me know,thanks

Welcome from NC!

First unplug the machine and plug it back in in a few min then check the bobbin area for a small thread that may be caught, take the bobbin out re thread replace with a new bobbin, If that doesn't work I do not have the answer!

Thank You Donna I will try it ,

It worked Donna thank you ,you saved my quilting career,it was going to be short lived if i would have broke it permanatly. i have a lot to learn.

Hello, and welcome from Idaho!

Once you get the bobbin out. Clean it really well and be sure to oil it in all of the places the book tells you. This machine requires a lot of oil.
