What should you check before buying?
- The PQ1600S is the maker-listed replacement for the discontinued PQ1500SL.
- Straight stitch only means no zigzag or buttonholes. Pair its workspace with your project needs.
- Brother publishes both a table size and needle-to-arm space. Only the latter is shown as throat space.
