PaceSetter PS500
Empower your creative visions with the Brother Pacesetter PS500 computerized sewing machine! Engineered for sewists seeking versatility, precision, and portability, the PS500 features a generous 8.3" workspace from needle to arm, 100 built-in sewing stitches, 7 one-step buttonhole styles, 4 lettering fonts, and high-speed performance up to 850 stitches per minute. With a 2.4" x 1.3" LCD screen, an Advanced Needle Threader, automatic thread cutting, and top drop-in bobbin system, this sleek machine brings seamless control to fashion construction, home decor, and quilting projects alike.
Intuitive Control & Custom Combination: Easily navigate 100 built-in stitches using the inner flip-up reference guide and 10-key touch panel. Combine patterns to create specialty borders and labels directly on the clear LCD screen.
Seamless Workflow: Conveniently snip upper and lower threads instantly with the automatic thread cutter button. Front push buttons allow effortless control over needle up/down, start/stop, and reverse/reinforcement tie-off stitching.
Hassle-Free Setup: Guide the upper thread, press the threader lever until it clicks, and let the machine thread the needle eye. The quick-set top drop-in bobbin features a clear window to prevent unexpected thread run-outs.
Quilting & Hemming Space: Generous 8.3" throat space manages bulky fabrics and quilt layers without constant tugging. Remove the accessory storage compartment to reveal a narrow free arm for hemming sleeves and pant legs.
100 Built-In Stitches
100 Stitches at Your Fingertips
An inner flip-up reference guide paired with a 10-key touch panel makes navigating all 100 built-in stitches quick and intuitive, without flipping through a separate manual.
Stitch Combination Memory
Combine Patterns Into Custom Borders and Labels
Stitch combination memory lets you build specialty borders and labels directly on the LCD screen, mixing patterns rather than sewing them one at a time.
Automatic Thread Cutter
Clean Thread Cuts at the Push of a Button
The automatic thread cutter snips both upper and lower threads instantly at the touch of a button — no reaching for scissors between seams.
Front Push Buttons
Front Controls Built for Quick Access
Front push buttons give you direct control over needle up/down, start/stop, and reverse/reinforcement tie-off stitching without leaving your hands on the fabric.
Advanced Needle Threader
Threading That Clicks Into Place
Guide the thread, press the Advanced Needle Threader lever until it clicks, and the machine threads the needle eye for you — no more squinting at a fine needle.
Quick-Set Top Drop-In Bobbin
A Bobbin You Can Actually See
The quick-set top drop-in bobbin has a clear cover so you can monitor thread supply at a glance, catching a low bobbin before it runs out mid-seam.
8.3" Large Workspace
Room for Bulky Quilts Without the Fight
A generous 8.3" throat space handles bulky fabrics and quilt layers without constant tugging or repositioning underneath the arm.
Convertible Free Arm
A Free Arm for Cuffs and Pant Legs
Removing the accessory storage compartment reveals a narrow free arm, making it easy to hem sleeves and pant legs without fighting a flat bed.
