My Brother innov-is a150, for example, has a consistent stitch length no matter what speed you’re going. If you want even more features, upgrade to one of Juki's computerised models – they come loaded with convenient stitches and patterns, plus extras such as stitch speed adjustment. It is however, the limitations of the Brother LS14 that make it a good model for both beginners and kids. Overall, this is my favorite machine if you’re on a tight budget, but it’s not my favorite one for beginners who love sewing (go here to see my best sewing machine for beginners review). It offers around 13 sewing machines, mostly electronic but some mechanical, as well as overlockers, coverstitch machines and long-arm quilting machines.

When setting up and threading the sewing machine, the Brother LS14 has a Drop-in bobbin for quick rethreading of your machine. The plastic bag that this machine was supplied in should be kept out of the reach • of children or disposed of. Full-size machines are usually wider than compact machines and this gives you slightly more space to manoeuvre the fabric around the needle area.It's a feature-packed model that's also compact enough to carry to a sewing class or take away on holiday. While this does not really affect the machine, it can be a little inconvenient and is kind of a pointless feature. This gives you the ability to control the strength and the balance of your stitches as and when you need it. There are also frequently asked questions, a product rating and feedback from users to enable you to optimally use your product. The best place to start with this sewing machine is the clear instructions and diagrams that are always useful when threading a new sewing machine.

Easy to use and with a decent amount of stitches there is enough to this machine to keep you going for a while before considering an upgrade. Here’s what I found annoying: the stiff backstitch lever, bad lighting, the thread jumping out of the needle, and the lack of a “normal” manual. The LS14 includes a variety of stitches, allowing users to choose from multiple decorative and utility options. Both machines are suitable for beginners and can tackle alterations, hobby sewing and repairs on light and medium fabrics. While they are now mostly known for their technological solutions in office supplies, they have transferred that technical knowledge over to their sewing machines.Threading guides such as small arrows or numbers marked on the machine make it easier to see how to thread the upper thread, which is especially helpful for beginners. It pulls the fabric into a tunnel with the standard tension of 4, so more experimenting is needed with that.
