Brother PQ1600S Sewing and Quilting Machine
The Brother PQ1600S is a fast and powerful straight stitch machine built for quilters and serious sewists. It sews up to 1,500 stitches per minute and handles large projects and thick fabrics with ease, while the pin feed system keeps layers smooth without shifting. Features like a knee lifter, automatic needle threader, and adjustable presser foot pressure make it easy to sew everything from delicate fabrics to heavy quilts with control and precision.
The Brother PQ1600S has LED Lighting
Never miss a stitch with the bright LED light placed above the needle. With your workspace clearly lit, it helps reduce eye strain and lets you sew comfortably for longer. The added brightness gives you better control of your fabric, and as a bonus, these energy efficient bulbs stay cool and last longer than traditional incandescent lights.
Reverse Lever
The Brother PQ1600S includes an easy to reach reverse lever that lets you quickly secure your stitches. It helps reinforce seams at the beginning and end, preventing unraveling while keeping your workflow smooth and efficient.
Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
Get professional results with adjustable presser foot pressure. Simply turn the top regulator to match your fabric, use the “N” setting for everyday cotton, increase pressure for lightweight fabrics to prevent shifting, or reduce it for thicker materials so they feed smoothly through the machine.
Brother PQ1600S's Adjustable Feed Dogs
The Brother Nouvelle PS1600S has four feed dog settings for smooth, consistent feeding on any fabric. Use the highest setting for medium to heavy fabrics, lower it for lightweight materials, switch to pin feed for fabrics like velvet, or drop the feed dogs for free motion sewing. Each setting helps you achieve clean, professional stitches.
Needle Threader
An automatic threader takes the guesswork out of threading your needle. In a few effortless movements, your needle will be threaded and ready to sew!
Automatic Thread Trimmer of the Brother PQ1600S
Save time with the built in automatic thread trimmer. With the push of a button, both the upper and bobbin threads are cut and the needle stops in the up position, helping reduce thread waste and keep your workflow smooth.
Bobbin Winder
The Brother PQ1600S includes a telescopic thread stand and built in bobbin winder for smooth, efficient sewing. The thread stand handles large spools for consistent thread flow and even tension, while the bobbin winder lets you prepare bobbins quickly without slowing down. These features help keep your projects running smoothly from start to finish.
Brother PQ1600S's Rotary Hook Bobbin
The side loading bobbin case is easy to access, making bobbin changes quick and simple. Large L style bobbins hold more thread so you stop less often, and the built in thread cutter keeps the right thread length without needing to pull it up manually.
Hands-Free Knee Lift
The detachable knee lifter lets you raise the presser foot up to 10mm with a tap of your knee, so your hands stay on the fabric for better control. When not in use, the knee lifter stores neatly in the bottom of the extension table.
The Brother PQ1600S has a Pin Feed System
The Precision Pin Feed System helps you sew fabrics of different thicknesses with better control. By guiding the fabric as it moves, it reduces shifting and keeps layers aligned. Simply lower the feed dogs to the red setting to use it, making tricky fabrics like velvet, velveteen, and synthetic suede much easier to sew.
Heavyweight Materials
The PQ1600S powers through multiple layers with ease thanks to its strong motor and straight stitch design. The single needle hole provides greater needle penetration, making it easy to sew thick materials like quilts, denim, jackets, and vinyl without struggle.
