Product Information

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.

It doesn’t matter how much you change the speed during a line of stitching, the stitches are consistent.My old machine had a horizontal 'leg' at the back which supported the sewing table better when using the free arm mode. If you're a more experienced sewer looking for a second machine to take to sewing classes then this also a good choice. It pulls the fabric into a tunnel with the standard tension of 4, so more experimenting is needed with that. 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.

There’s a good distinction between the instructions for winding the bobbin and threading the top half, so you don’t get them confused.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. For example, this model does not have automated controls for the needle stop position, automated back tacks or automated thread trimming. Most items are available for check and reserve with the exception of fabric and other items sold by the metre. Expect it to sound loud and thumpy with fleece, denim, and canvas, and for the stitches to be uneven.

It doesn’t have speed control, or the ability to sew without the foot pedal (using the start/stop button). I don’t have any issues with mobility in my hands, but for someone who does, I imagine this would be extremely frustrating. The flat bed attachment is described as a storage compartment in the instructions, but as there is no ‘compartment’ so to speak you will need to put the accessories in another bag inside the compartment to avoid them spilling out when you open it.There is a fold-out manual, an instructional DVD, a leaflet for checking the quality of your thread and a three year warranty. 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. The top of the machine also has clear illustrations showing how to thread the machine and wind the bobbin.
