Embroidery – If you are likely to be doing a lot of embroidery projects then a machine that allows you to lower the feed dogs is essential. Been able to lower the feed dogs also allows you to perform freehand stitching. Screw on presser feet are the traditional presser feet. They require you to screw and unscrew them when changing. For some this can be a hassle as the screws are quite small and the task can be time-consuming.

Sewing machines can be either mechanical or computerised. Personally, i would recommend a beginner to buy a mechanical sewing machine as they are less technical, easier to use and far simpler to get to grips with. Mechanical sewing machines are powered by electric and are not as old fashioned as they may sound. The reason they are called mechanical sewing machines is due to them having internal gears, levers and switches. A free arm is provided for those more hard to reach areas you wish to stitch such as cuffs or sleeves. This makes it easier for you as a sewer to experiment with these techniques without the limitations that other machines may provide.

Brother has also provided a three year manufacturer's warranty to ensure any breakages or faults with the machine are covered. However, if you optionally use metal bobbins instead of plastic ones then this will invalidate your warranty. Why Should I Buy Brother? Another positive feature is the adjustable stitch length and width which is a feature normally found with more expensive models. As with all Brother models, this machine includes an instructional DVD which not only gives you a visual guide to setting up your machine but also shows you some basic sewing skills for those of you who are new. It is an eight-stitch machine and therefore best suited to simple sewing projects. There is an auto 4-step buttonhole feature and it comes with a front loading bobbin. If you’re new to sewing and ready to start your journey, have a look at our range of manual or electric sewing machines. We’ve got a variety of options available that are great to make light repairs or stitch dresses and home furnishings from scratch.
