Great machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great straight stitch machine. Super fast. Has a button to cut your thread. I want to start writing and the extra wide base is perfect for quilting. I am sure there are a lot more functions I don't even know how to use yet as a beginner, so i am happy that this is a machine I can grow into. The unit itself is heavy and...

I bought this machine last November and have had nothing but problems with it. It doesn't free motion Quilt on flannel at all, I've tried everything the manual says and even did live chat 2 or 3 times and they are no help. It sews regular cotton just fine and I did free motion quilt it and it was OK. It will not work on my Cutie tabletop frame at all. I'm sorry I bought...

So speedy at stitching
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am as beginner of a beginner that you could imagine with respect to sewing, so this machine definitely has not been used to its full capability in my hands yet. But off the bat, it is so quick at stitching and runs smoothly. I do wish I could dial down the speed a bit but that's ok. The machine is super heavy itself ...

The Brother PQ1600s High-Speed Straight Stitch Sewing Machine work great for sewing several different types of materials and has several different stitch patterns.

It was very easy to get setup to start sewing. The process o...

Worth it!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s always challenging learning the in’s and out’s of a new device, but this machine is very much worth it! I’m new to quilting and am very excited to use it for that! So far I’m thrilled with the machine for my regular sewing needs!

Gets the job done
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great sewing machine. Easy to use. The wider and longer base makes it easier to lay the fabric instead of the fabric always sliding down and falling on the floor. Cuts the job time in half because the machine sews so fast.

Multi function
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Brother High Speed Straight Stitch Sewing Machine has all the functions I need. It is fast and keeps up with me. The stitch is tight and does not budge. The string is easy to change. Great machine.

Wow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brother PQ1600S sewing machine was better than I expected! After breaking a few machines I now have one that can handle the bulkier pieces. So far I’ve tested it on some quilting squares. I’m going to be able to make so many quilts and other projects. Total game changer for quilting!

Game changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The straightforward design is perfect for someone like me who's not a sewing pro. I love how precise it is with straight stitches, adding a pro touch to my creations. It has a ton of fancy stitches, AND for speed and reliability, this machine is my go-to recommendation. Only thing i will say is that this sewing machine...

Awesome machine!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has to be one of if not the best sewing machine on the market. Impeccable stitching. Makes any project from a simple dress to a quilt a breeze. It’s not loud like some sewing machines. This is the Cadillac of sewing machines!
