Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to a substrate. Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phosphatidylethanolamine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to the nitrogen atom of an acceptor molecule.
