Hi, I just ordered the brother, also, and got it for 599.00 no tax, free ship. It is due in tomorrow, and I can't wait!! If anyone wants to know where I got it, let me know, I am new here, but think I can figure out how to pm...also, the place I ordered from is an authorized brother retailer, I really like that, too...

I bought it with the Imperial table. It is in layaway now but I am surprized by how many straight stitch machines are out there that I did not know about. I also got a stitch regulator. They are not on sale and run $499. |

I've "trained" myself to free-motion quilt using the Start/Stop button because I can't seem to get the hands/feet moving harmoniously together. I'm starting to wonder about buying one of these workhorse machines but that's a criteria I need to check into. |

Online - I googled BrotherPQ1500s and started looking at prices that the sites had. Sew Vac direct is where I got mine. |

Then I think if I ever dropped it trying to get it on the tray, I would loath myself for not getting one... |
Can we put where we bought something on here? I just bought the brother, 599.00, no tax, no ship, but not sure I can list the on-line store...
|
I looked again at rules, think its ok to post where I ordered my machine. Its from Allbrands, and they also say they are Brother authorized dealer...hope this helps...

The Brother has an automatic thread cutter, the Janome does not.
I picked up both my machines second-hand from private parties. I paid $400 for my Janome. My DH bought the Brother with a New Joy frame for $400. The Brother looked like it had hardly been touched - not a scratch on it, no lint inside it anywhere. You might consider checking with your local guild and quilt shops, you might find someone who wants to sell their machine. |
