The Brother PQ1600S is a dedicated straight-stitch sewing machine for garment construction, patchwork and quilting. It offers speeds up to 1,500 stitches per minute and stitch lengths up to 7mm. It does not sew zigzag stitches, buttonholes or computerised embroidery.

Room for larger projects

A 220mm-wide by 145mm-high workspace and included wide table help support larger pieces. The removable knee lifter lets you lift the presser foot while keeping your hands on your work.

Adjust the feed to your fabric

Presser-foot pressure adjustment, four feed-dog settings and the pin-feed mechanism give you control over how fabric moves. An automatic thread cutter and needle up/down setting help with finishing seams and pivoting.

Test your chosen needle, thread and settings on a sample, particularly at thick seam intersections.
