As a beginner, you will love how fast and easy it is to use a Brother machine. Choose the one that is best suited for your tailoring needs and skills. What I love about these machines is their versatility. If you like making garments and home decorations and you want something that is strong enough, the NX650Q is perfect for you.
It’s a quiet machine that is durable and will allow you to feed your creative side. Create multiple projects and get ready to be in awe every time. It comes with great features like easy threading, drop-in bobbins, knee lifter, easy fabric feeding and control, perfect buttonholes and great lighting.
The PQ-1500S is also one of the Brother Sewing Machines that I really like and this traces back from the good old days. It is a dream machine for anyone who tackles problem fabrics as well as large scale sewing jobs.
It’s a no-frill, high-speed straight stitching machine that can do up to 1,500 stitches per minute. It also has an adjustable pin feed mechanism, 4 feed dog settings for maximum fabric control, knee lifter and bed extension table for quilting.
If you want an over-sized work area then go for QC-1000. It’s a great machine for both sewing and quilting. It comes with a standard or free-arm and programmable pivot function.
It also has thread delivery from 4 different spools. What I love about this model is its thread sensor alert feature. With Brother Sewing Machines, you can never go wrong. It doesn’t really matter whether you’re a beginner or a professional, Brother has the right sewing machine for you.
