Brother PaceSetter PS500
100 Stitches

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.

Automatic Thread Cutter

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.

Advanced Threader

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.

8.3" Workspace

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.
