Here is another vote for Brother 1500. Bought mine this fall and have no regrets whatsoever. Great piecing and quilting machine.

I recently bought a Juki 2010Q and it's a quilting machine. I love it. Huge throat space, beautiful stitches, wonderful FMQ and it's so strong it hems jeans like it's sewing through butter. Not computerized, no zig zag, and is very reasonably priced (under $1000). I LOVE mine!

I love my Brother 1500 also. Just wish the tutorial online about it was in English, but the instructions are still easy to understand as they demonstrate the machine.

My main machine isn't a really high level - a $300 Joann's special, and it does well on the FMQ on the frame, but is a pain to transfer back and forth. So I would like a dedicated machine with a decent throat for the frame, then perhaps I'd actually use the frame - haven't used it in over a year!!!
Any suggestions? Thanks. |
Viking Sapphire. Mine has a 10" throat and I love it

7 years ago I bought the Elna 7200 and has a trouble free time with it so I have just upgraded to the Elna Queens 720, now made by Janome, as I wanted integrated dual feed system, don't know how I have lived without one.
I would really recommend this machine, it has a generous 9" throat with really good height, mega lift on the presser foot and besides having the knee lift, a necessity for FMQ IMO it has a really good fault free thread cutter. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for in buckets load. Oh did I mention that you can have 2 full size mega cones on the spool holders, wonderful, do you think I love my machine :) http://www.schillersontheweb.com/pro...tm?id=t1r3b80j |
Love the Brother PQ1500s. I thought I was going to do the frame, but I love the machine for piecing. I get most accurate scant 1/4" on that lovely machine.

I have a Pfaff Grand Quilter and a frame. Can you give me any information on how to load it . I have no information and am scared to try anything. Any information you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.
