Today, I e-mailed the Brother dealer in this area and asked about the price of the Brother 1500.
The reply was that she had a demo PQ1500S, high speed straight stitch machine with a throat space of approx. 6"x9".
Price...$1499.
OUCH!!!! That's pretty steep!

Teacup,
I like my Singer 201k treadle best for piecing and straight line quilting. The 15-90 treadle is much better for FMQ; it has about 7" of throat space and much more height to the throat space than a modern machine.

It is a great site! Have bought several items myself. Can't wait to hear how you like your new sewing machine - you'll have to let us know! I am thinking that some day I might still get one of those. :-)
