Love this machine

I bought this machine as a backup to my NQ3500D (which also does embroidery), but I've taken to using it as my primary machine. I sew frequently and need a dependable machine, glad I chose this one.

New Brother

I love my new machine! It has several upgrades that I love. Including thread cutter, needle threader and it doesn’t gum up the bobbin thread when starting. My only complaint is the bobbin winder.

Difficult to Use
on December 12, 2021

I have sewn for years on another brand of sewing machine that I bought in 1982. This new machine has so many choices and the directions are difficult to understand. Today I attempted letter embroidery. After quite a while of trying to figure it out, the letters can only be made 1/4" tall according to an article online. What is the point of having an embroidery feature if the letters can only be 1/4" tall? I was going to embroider names on Christmas stockings but 1/4" letters are way too small. I have just been disappointed with all my attempts using this machine. I guess I just like the old-fashioned machines better.

We are sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the sewing font included in the Brother PS500. This is a sewing model and the included fonts are sewing fonts, so they will not be as full or large as embroidered fonts. We are happy to help you with any questions you might have about the machine. Please contact us at Brother Customer support here:

Excellent and FUN!

I am an experienced sewer, and I have a couple machines - a bottom line computerized Brother, an SE400 for small embroideries which is all I do, a vintage Pfaff, and a modern well featured Elna for heavy sewing jobs like bags. I bought this Brother PS500 about a year and a half ago because the pandemic had set in and I wanted some excitement in the sewing room. As with all Brothers, the manual is complete and excellent, and the sewing is so much fun. The machine is basically quiet, it has enough stitches for me, a large harp, does free motion on smaller pieces wonderfully - I was so happy with its free motion ability!! I haven't tried a larger quilt on it, as I do those on my vintage Pfaff. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the needle threader which absolutely threads it for me. It threads the needle with all the threads I have used on it from a 40 weight King Tut cotton to a 60 weight. Bobbin loading is easy, and it uses my purchased preloaded bobbins well. So far so good. I have made doll clothes, done masks, quilted a bunch of smaller quilts, sewn up small quilt tops, and hemmed scrubs and sewn tops on it. I love this machine. If I wanted another machine it would be a Brother as well! :) I bought the extension table and several other feet because I love presser feet - and it comes with a lot of presser feet as well. :) I have other Brother feet I purchased for my other Brother machines, and they all fit.

Amazing Maching

I bought this because I needed more throat space to do machine quilting. This was a perfect fit for me. I have had it only 2 months but I couldn't be happier. Very smooth running machine, easy to thread, easy to thread bobbin, lots of stitches.

Wonderful, well-worth-the-price machine

I'm still pretty amateur when it comes to sewing and I had been using a more base model Brother machine that I purchased when I first started sewing a few years ago that I really liked. I decided to treat myself for Mother's Day with a more advanced machine since I was starting to do more sewing and I'm very happy that I did. I bought this before there were any reviews online, so it was a big leap of faith, but it has not disappointed me one bit. I was intimidated at first when I saw all the features, but from doing research and just practicing with it, I've picked it up quickly and am amazed at how good this machine is and how easy it makes things. The number and variety of stitches is amazing and the features such as the thread cutter and the self-threader are so convenient. My sewing skills have increased drastically since I bought this and the machine itself has played a big part in that. For the price this is an incredible value and a wonderful machine for both novices and more skilled sewers.

Love this machine! The features are fabulous. I love the reinforcement stitch, the thread cutter. These features are usually on more pricey machines. It sews so smooth and quiet. I love all the stitch choices. So very easy to thread and bobbin winding is used friendly.Can not say enough it is so wonderful love it a whole bunch. It has renewed my fun for sewing. Thanks
