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 ,

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.

what part of Idaho are you from

I PM'd you.

Greetings from snowy Colorado. I think this is the machine I have on my frame. I luckily have not had any problems with mine (haven't really used it that much). I will read my instructions to see if i can find somthing that might help. Have you contacted the dealer you bought it from? They should be able to help.

I've had 2 arabs, 5 qtrs and 2 paints. Don't have on right now (miss my babies!!!) Have fun here!!
