About this machine
The Brother PC6500 is a computerized sewing and embroidery combination machine with 65 built-in sewing stitches, an LED instructional touch screen, on-screen embroidery editing, more than 850 built-in pattern variations and Brother's My Custom Stitch feature.
PC6500 genuinely combines sewing and embroidery
Brother's exact product page calls PC6500 a combination sewing and embroidery machine. It lists 65 sewing stitches alongside an embroidery area, on-screen editing and more than 850 built-in pattern variations.
The touch screen is instructional as well as operational
Brother describes the display as an instructional LED touch screen. That is useful machine-identification context and explains why the PC6500 sits in a different generation from older PC-series sewing machines with simpler controls.
The bobbin remains a separate compatibility fact
Brother Support explicitly includes PC6500 in the SA155 high plastic Class 66 bobbin group. The combination-machine features do not change that bobbin requirement, and metal bobbins should not be substituted according to Brother's support guidance.
