Brother LS14S Metal Chassis Sewing Machine

Product Information

Simply Sewing magazine’s Technical Editor Roisin loves every part of the dressmaking process, from sketching to sewing the final design, and enjoys working with luxury fabrics such as silk and chiffon. 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! 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.

A zipper foot comes included in the box, and the machine is supported with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. Most manufacturers do not recommend using adaptors to convert the voltage of your machine for safety reasons.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! My Brother innov-is a150, for example, has a consistent stitch length no matter what speed you’re going. It comes with 14 stitch options and a lock stitch facility, ensuring all stitches and patterns are securely locked off at the end of the sewing sequence.

You’d need a decent desk lamp when working late at night on this machine (you’d expect to use a lamp late in the evenings with any machine, but I have definitely used machines with brighter lights built in). If you're a more experienced sewer looking for a second machine to take to sewing classes then this also a good choice.You can’t leave your accessories in there loose or they’ll fall out every time you remove the front cover. The Brother LS14s sewing is an entry level sewing machine that is intended to be affordable and easy to use. In a matching thread you wouldn’t notice this, but if you use a contrasting thread it would look messy.

Note that the adjustable stitch width control on this model appears to be fairly limited, and may not affect all of the inbuilt stitches.
