Learning with Stella….

Love my new machine except that it will not thread my needles. I must always remember to change settings to 3 rather than 1. Have broken several needles because I forget to do this.

Shrill sound when sewing.

This machine works well except it has a very shrill whine when I sew . It doesn't occur at a slow speed, but is very disconcerting. My other Brother machines do not have that problem.

I LOVE MY NEW BROTHER PACESETTER PS500!
on September 27, 2023
Posted by: Terri

I LOVE my Brother Pacesetter PS500. I am just getting started with sewing, so have a lot to learn. This machine does way more than I am capable of doing at the present moment, but i intend to learn. So pleased with the ease of use. Cannot wait to learn how to use the button hole foot and the walking foot that I purchased separately. Am working on making quilt tops at the present time.

Sews great, bobbin winder horrible
on September 4, 2024
Posted by: Gayle
I love the way it sews, but the bobbin winder has caused a tremendous amount of frustration. No matter how many times I rethread, reread the directions the bobbin still doesn't wind properly.

I love the machine. Very quite. I do have a problem with the thread cutter, very inconsistent. I also have a problem with the stitches being consistent and neat.

Don’t waste your money
on January 20, 2025
Posted by: Love to sew
I have sewn for 60 years, always with hand-me-down or gifted machines, I saved enough to purchase this machine. What a mistake! Makes good seams, but that is all. The only function that works well consistently is the thread cutter. Biggest issue is fabric getting pulled into the feed dog. Varied stitches work well once and then are a mess the 2nd time with same fabric, same thread. Some stitches work fine for 2”-3” and then the top/spool thread seizes up and pulls bobbin thread to the top. Thread knotter only works if pressed 5-6 times. This is the first machine I was able to select for myself. It is a HUGE disappointment and a waste of money and opportunity.
