This is my first time posting on the board but I've been following it for a couple of years and I love it. Everyone is so nice and helpful, I've really learned a lot. I have a Brother PQ1500S and I love,love love it. It is the best machine that I have ever owned. Mine sometimes gets unthreaded but not very often and it isn't much of a problem. I got mine on Amazon and it was $599 with free shipping. I would really be interested in joining the yahoo group of machine owners. Does anyone know how to do that? I have a few questions that I haven't been able to answer with the materials that were included with the machine.
