Our take on the Brother Pacesetter PS500 Sewing Machine

The Brother Pacesetter PS500 is a computerized sewing machine with 100 built-in stitches, an automatic thread cutter and an advanced needle threader. It sews up to 850 stitches per minute, which is fast for a home machine, and handles light to medium-heavy fabrics. It suits beginners who want automation and experienced sewers who want speed without a large embroidery unit. Compared with mechanical machines in its class, it trades a lower price for computer control, and it lacks the automatic tension adjustment and larger throat space of step-up quilting models.

Questions and answers

Is the PS500 good for beginners?
Yes. It has an automatic needle threader, one-step buttonholes and on-screen stitch selection, so new sewers can start without hand-threading or guesswork.
Does it cut the thread automatically?
Yes. The built-in thread cutter trims the top and bobbin threads at the push of a button, which helps at the end of each seam.
Can it quilt large projects?
It can quilt, but the throat space is modest. Large bed quilts are cramped; small and medium quilts are fine.
How fast is it?
It sews up to 850 stitches per minute, which is fast for a home machine and useful for long seams.
Does it adjust thread tension by itself?
No. Tension is set manually with a dial, so you may need to adjust it when you change fabric or thread.
What fabrics can it handle?
It handles light to medium-heavy fabrics such as cotton, linen, denim and canvas. Very thick layers may need a slower pace.
