Brother PQ 1500s walking foot
The walking foot that came with my PQ 1500s is a narrow toe and doesn't have a guide. I would really like to find an open toe one that has a quide or one that just has a guide. Does anyone with this machine know of one I could get. I contacted Brother and they don't have another walking foot that will fit this machine. I know that there are other brand feet that will fit this machine but I'm not familiar with them.

Contact Allbrands.com and tell them what you'd like. I've received excellent customer service from them, and they have always been able to help me out, especially if it's an "aftermarket", non-OEM part.

I read on one forum, that the Janome high shank open toe even feed foot fits the PQ1500s. Don't take my word for it though. I wrote that down hoping to find one to try. It would be nice if more people chime in here because I would like a foot that leaves enough space to see where your sewing.

A "wide" walking foot wouldn't fit the feed dogs of your machine. YOu have a straight stitch machine with narrow feed dogs. The walking foot similarly has to have narrow matching feed or the WF wouldn't work as designed. So, no, you won't be able to get other WF to work properly on the machine other than what it was designed to handle.

Thank you Candace. Go slow and use a good light i guess is what we must do.

I have the Brother 1500. I use painter's tape to mark my lines when I use the walking foot. It works well for me.

Thanks, Candace I guess I'll learn to use what I have or get my other machine out. I wish I had room to have both machines out at one time. I did try the Jenome high shank foot but the bar that goes over the needle screw isn't long enough. It just doesn't fit just right. You might get it it work but I was afraid to try it.
Thanks everyone for your help. |

I called Allbrands and they have an Janome even feed foot with a guide that they say will fit the 1500s. I ordered one, so we will see. If it doesn't fit I'll just send it back. |

If the Janome foot is also for a SS machine, it may work properly. |

It will likely "fit" and tighten on to the shank, but the Janome one would be a zig zag walking foot not made for a straight stitch machine and will be too big for the feed dogs.
I'm looking forward to hearing Annie Pearl's experience with this new foot. :thumbup: |

Unless it's a foot made for the Janome 1600, which is a straight stitch machine.

I have a Brother pq1500 (nouvelle) machine and ordered this foot from Sewing Machine Plus. It's worked fine:

Juki makes a high speed, high shank machine similiar to the Brother Pq1500' sorry dont know the model number, and their feet will work on the Pq1500 machine. I purchased a fmq foot from Allbrands that was listed as a upgrade fmq foot for Juki's, it works perfectly on my Brother Pq1500. It wasnt cheap but it was exactly what I was looking for. It would bet they have a walking foot too.
