Thank you for your video. I'm using my machine for the first time in almost two years and needed a refresher in threading it.

Thanks for the video. I noticed that you missed the needle bar guide when you were threading the upper thread. Is there any reason why you did not use the automatic needle threader?

[@DKohnDesigns]

I apologize for my late reply to you. You are absolutely right, I forgot to thread it through the guard just above the needle. Thank you for catching my mistake. I could never get the automatic needle threader to work correctly so I never use it. I just thread it manually. Based on online comments when I first got my machine, I found that many others could not get the automatic needle threader to work either.

09/05/24 ... I have found that after 1-2 hours the bobbin area starts clanking ... I have oiled that area but once again after 1-2 hours of use it starts making the same noise. I really like this machine except for the noise. I have to stop and mess with it again. I talked to couple other people that they have experienced the same thing!! At this point I would never suggest to anyone to buy this machine! I am very vigilante keeping the machine clean and oiled but I also don't feel that it's good for any machine to require so much oiling. I haven't used this machine for a year now....

What is the setting for. Tension. And thread length?

[@poocky100]

So I don’t need to bring the bobbin thread up? Tia

[@delphyne3699]

... I always do ...

[@LouRao]

Thanks for the video. You did missed threading the thread in the hook front of the needle.

[@DKohnDesigns]

Thank you so much for watching! If you check the video at 2:05, and again at 2:50 to 3:40, you will see I did thread the thread through the hook in front of the needle. I did not use optional needle threader. I was threading the needle manually. Perhaps that is what the confusion might have been.

[@deborahspooner8046]

What about the needle threader? I find it quite good

[@annetrenary2875]

I haven't ever gotten it to auto thread!!!!

[@deborahspooner8046]

@@annetrenary2875 Ok, that is interesting. Maybe eventually you will. Keep trying. Wish you well.

Can the brother PQ1500SL use my coats and clark thread?

[@DKohnDesigns]

Hi Linda! I apologize for the delay in responding to you. Yes, I have used C&C thread in my Brother machine but I find it is very linty. I prefer to use Aurifil or other better quality thread for piecing but I do use C&C for quilting my quilt tops when I do it myself. Thank you for watching and commenting!
