Description

Suitable for beginners, the LS14 Brother sewing machine is perfect for basic alterations and repairs. If you're a more experienced sewer looking for a second machine to take to sewing classes then this also a good choice. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed.

I wouldn’t recommend this machine for a young child, but for older children who are being supervised or teenagers who know the basics, this is the perfect machine. For these reasons I would give this machine the lowest score for accessibility as you may need to ask someone for help to use a few of the functions. Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period. You’ll get the most important stitches, but very few stretch, overcasting (=stops fraying), and embroidery ones.

As the outstanding balance, plus the interest now form part of your payable balance they will attract interest at your account rate, meaning you will pay interest on interest. As with most electronics, the entry level items are often not the most accessible, but I feel it’s only fair to include my thoughts on these aspects in this review. There is also no needle threader – which is a must for those with visual impairments or painful/unsteady hands. More expensive machines have a better feeding system which solves this, like my Brother innov-is a150.

There is also only one buttonhole stitch option whereas some more advanced machines will have several shapes, but a simple rectangular buttonhole is all you really need, after all they’re usually hidden underneath your buttons! She’s a sewing pattern pro with a skill for adjusting and hacking patterns to fit and for editing dressmaking instructions to make them accessible to sewists of all abilities. When setting up and threading the sewing machine, the Brother LS14 has a Drop-in bobbin for quick rethreading of your machine. The Brother LS14 has basic features such as a Free Arm with Removable Cover, Standard Foot Pedal, and an Inbuilt light for safe and easy sewing. To help you achieve the best possible stitch quality across different fabrics the Brother LS14 adjusts the tension of the upper thread using an Adjustable / Manual Control.Most manufacturers do not recommend using adaptors to convert the voltage of your machine for safety reasons. You need to keep your accessories in the plastic bag provided, or they’ll fall out every time you open the cover. The machine doesn’t come with a cover of any sort only a thin plastic wrapper (which you could use for the meantime until you sew your own! Accessories included: zig-zag foot, buttonhole foot, zipper foot, Needle Set, Bobbins X4 one in machine oval screw driver, and foot controller. It doesn’t matter how much you change the speed during a line of stitching, the stitches are consistent.

The stitches were consistent, but when I look at them up close, there’s a weird pucker between them. There’s a good distinction between the instructions for winding the bobbin and threading the top half, so you don’t get them confused.If you already have presser feet that are compatible with this type of shank from a previous sewing machine, then in many cases you will be able to use the same presser feet on this model as well. The LS14S is a traditional metal chassis sewing machine with 14 stitches and including a 4 step button hole.

However, Brother do include an instructional DVD, so there are plenty of ways to learn about the machine if you struggle with the fold-out manual. And the lack of a handle (there is a slot for your hand to grip onto) means that I wouldn’t want to carry this machine far without a strong bag to hold it in! However, this also means you have very little control over the stitches, so a hobby sewist would find it limiting. You can’t drop the feed dogs for free-motion quilting, and it doesn’t come with a “darning plate” to cover the feed dogs either. There is a fold-out manual, an instructional DVD, a leaflet for checking the quality of your thread and a three year warranty.This top loading mechanical hard case sewing machine suitable for all users from the world famous Brother company, is stylish and simple to use giving great flexibility when sewing different garments. Standard or full-size machines are the most versatile machine size as they work for a range of sewing applications. As I mentioned previously, the little screwdriver provided kept slipping out of my hands as it has nothing to grip onto.
