Your video for the PS700 is excellent and I saved to my favorites for continuous reference. My new PS700 is a great sewing machine. Thanks also for great camera close ups of each part of machine as you explain.

Glad I could help, Karen! Enjoy your new machine.
Your video was very well done. It helped me take the machine straight out of the box and get sewing. It is so much easier for me to learn this way than to look at illustrations in a book. I appreciate your taking the time to teach me how to use my new machine!

Hi Rhonda! I use two tows of a long straight stitch length 5 spaced about 1/8 inch apart and pull the threads to gather. There are gathering feet, but I prefer the above methed
I just got this today. Looking forward to using it.

I bought this machine (Tx) in Jan’23 and love it. It is easy to use and finished my first baby quilt last month. I also love all of the decorative stitches.

Thank you. I bought this machine and love all the functions. I appreciate you taking the time to share how to actually use some of these techniques. I would have loved to see how to use the gathering technique.

I was making my granddaughter a dress and it requires the dress skirt to be gathered before adding to the bodice. I wasn’t able to do this on my machine, but would like to learn how.
I have the Brother Simplicity SB3150 which is basically the same as this machine and I love it. The simplicity line was discontinued but except for being a smidge smaller, the two machines are identical. Mine is about 4 years old and works great. I highly recommend the PS700, it has so many great features and performs beautifully!

I gave my daughter my backup machine (regretted it later), so I bought a new backup that I was going to get mine machine back and give her the new one Well, I think I'll just keep the Brother PS700 wish the lettering was more enhanced, but then I have my big machine for that.

Thanks a lot!!!! Can we make the letters bigger?
@sewalongwithjan

Hi Gina! The letters are preset at about 1/2". So no, they are not adjustable.
On winding the bobbin, the tension button you wrap the thread under … there are 2 buttons the top flat very thin piece has a space under it and then the larger thicker lower piece. Which one do you place the thread under the top thin plate or the thicker bottom button?
@sewalongwithjan

You put the thread under the thicker piece at the bottom. The top part is more of a button that has a little spring under it to give tension. Hope this makes sense.

Thank you so very much. The winder post will not stay engaged when pushed to the right for winding-I have to use a flat blade to push and hold it to get it to wind.

Hi. Loved tutorial. Is this machine have the extra high lift on the pressure foot to allow for thicker fabrics under? Is it a high or low shank machine? Thank u very much.
@sewalongwithjan
8 ай бұрын
This is a low shank machine. You can lift the presser lifter upward to allow thicker fabrics, but I would suggest getting a machine with the Automatic Fabric Sensor System if you use heavier fabrics regularly. The BQ1350 has that feature. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Where might this PS700 machine be available for a demo and possible purchase in SouthWest Florida area?.

Hi! If you go to the Brother website, they have a dealer locator so you can find a dealer in your area.
I recently bought this machine. So far I love it but I want the machine to have needle down when I end seeing. I can’t find out how to set this anywhere. Help
@sewalongwithjan

Hi Terri! That option is in the settings. Touch the button that looks like a piece of paper with the corner turned down. Once in the settings page use the down arrow to go to the needle position (probably the 2nd setting) and use the right arrow to change it to the down position. Hope this helps.
How to attach the “Q” foot to he Brother SE700
@sewalongwithjan
9 ай бұрын
Hi Patty! You mean how do you attach the embroidery foot? You remove the sewing foot and shank from the machine first as the embroidery foot has it's own shank. The embroidery foot has a slot that the screw slips into. Make sure that the foot is flat and tighten it down.
I can't figure out how to turn the speed controller off. Display says to do this because I can't get the sew button to turn from red to green regardless of the presser foot position.

Hi Hana! Yes this machine is able to sew a variety of fabrics. It is packaged more for the quilter, as it comes with quite a few quilting attachments, but is a great general machine as well.
