Brother PC8500 Parts & Accessories

We hold 11 items whose specification names the PC8500: extension tables, inserts & frames, presser feet & attachments, belts, motors & drive. Third-party parts made to fit this model are labeled compatible, never as the brand's own; Sew Steady tables and inserts are cut to this model's bed. Nothing on this page is assumed from a sibling model — if a part is here, the PC8500 is named on it.

Most-replaced parts on the Brother PC8500

FOOT Brother PC8200 PC8500 Pearl (XA7874002, $27.80): feet do not wear so much as go missing or get bought for the wrong shank.

SEW STEADY TABLE Brother PC8200 PC8500 24x24 FA (PSMTDBR23B, $199): an extension table is cut to this machine's bed and free-arm position; sibling models are not automatically the same.

Finding your model number

The model number is on the machine itself, not on the carry case or the manual — look for a plate or sticker on the front of the base, the right-hand side, the back near the power socket, or underneath. On a Brother it is printed as PC8500 and the letters and suffix are part of it; a sibling model with a different suffix can take different parts.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts do you stock for the Brother PC8500?

11 items whose specification names the PC8500: 1 extension tables, inserts & frames; 9 presser feet & attachments; 1 belts, motors & drive. Each one is listed above with its price and whether it is the manufacturer's part, a compatible part, or an accessory cut for this model.

Are the compatible parts for the PC8500 as good as the original?

A compatible part is made by a third-party manufacturer to the dimensions of the Brother part and costs less. For bobbin cases, plates, knives and feet that is usually a sensible buy; for a hook or anything with moving parts on a newer machine the manufacturer's part is the safer choice where we have it. We never describe a compatible part as the brand's own.

Will a Sew Steady table for the PC8500 fit a different Brother model?

Only if that model is named on the table's page. Tables are cut to the bed shape and free-arm position; the names listed on each table are the models the distributor specifies. Email us the other model number before ordering.

Do these parts also fit the Brother PC8200?

9 of the 11 items on this page name the PC8200 as well, because the two models share those parts. The rest do not — check the fits-these-machines list on each part, and see the related machines below.

My PC8500 needs a part that is not listed. Can you get it?

Email the part name and your model number to support@ultimatesewingandvac.com. If the distributor's catalog carries it we will quote it; if the fitment is uncertain we will say so rather than guess.

Do you ship the same day?

No. Orders are released to the warehouse the next business day and tracking is emailed when the parcel ships. We do not hold stock ourselves, so if an item is unavailable after you order we email you first.
