Review: Lovely sewing machine, perfect for a beginner to advanced, plus UPDATE Photos on needle threading - I had a New Home sewing machine back in the early 80’s when I was a teenager, my lovely Aunt got me one when I started a dressmaking course at college. I’m in my 50’s now and that machine has finally bit the dust, so I decided to invest in a new machine. I didn’t need anything too fancy but a reliable machine that can sew most materials with a double needle and fully automatic buttonhole ability. This Brother machine ticked all the boxes for me, I also did a little research and this one came up well thought of in reviews and even a sewing club review. It has 40 stitch designs including overlocking an important stitch for many fabric edges. I’ve used it so far on making a skirt and for sewing pieces of my machine knitted garments, like this baby cardigan in my photo here. I really like the brightly lit screen showing me clearly what stitch number I’m using and even advises what presser foot to use. It’s smart too and won’t sew if you haven’t got the presser foot down. I love the automatic sewing without the foot pedal, a big advance in sewing machines, the light is good too, especially as an LED rather than a bulb. The sewing machine has lots of extra presser feet and very easy to put on and off (no fiddly screws) too. All in all I recommend this Brother sewing machine, it’s build though plastic feels sturdy yet light, my only criticism is Brother should supply it with a better cover, the one it comes with is flimsy, but I’ve bought a sewing machine bag from John Lewis (measure the machine before you buy one, sewing bags do vary in size). UPDATE ON NEEDLE THREADING I noticed someone ask about threading the needle on this sewing machine, honestly it’s really easy once you know how, you need a cheap plastic needle threader, I got two free when I purchased some thread from desertcart, see my photos to see what it is. I bent the fine metal part (that’s diamond shaped) down so I could hold it to thread the needle on the machine. Then hold the plastic bit of the needle threader and push the fine metal part through the eye of the needle from the BACK (that’s bits important) once pushed through take your thread and push it in between the metal diamond shape, hold the end of the thread and pull the needle threader backwards and out of the eye of the needle, it will pull the thread through the eye of the needle as it goes, keep pulling until it all through. See my photos to help you, once you know how easy it is you’ll do this every time easily. I hope this helps you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many stitches per minute does it do?**
A: I'm not sure...I purchased 2 of these and both seized so keep your money and buy something else

**Q: Reviews are generally excellent but criticise the motor as “only 40w”. Does that really matter? I’m looking for a beginner machine that will last.**
A: Depends what you want to sew. A smaller motor generally means it labours on heavier and thicker materials. I have been making pleated cotton masks in numbers and it is coping with 8 layers of cotton percale with 4 layers of interfacing. If you want to make a lot of heavy lined curtains a bigger motor might be preferable. If you are learning to make shirts, skirts, trousers and dresses it will serve you well and when you do become more proficient you might decide to get a specialist machine, but this will still be a very good machine for your general sewing.

**Q: Does it have drop feed dogs, and can I do open toe free hand quilting**
A: You can drop the feed dogs.

**Q: Can you adjust the pressure foot hight and pressure so you can sew heavy fabrics like stretch jeans?**
A: There is a foot which comes with the machine with a small black button on the side, this button allows the foot to ride over a bulky seam and still sew.  I bought this machine for my granddaughter and it’s ideal for her. If you want something more sophisticated you have to pay more money.

*by K***N on 7 June 2024*

This was bought as am upgrade as I fancied an electronic sewing machine and I can honestly say it was the right decision. Its light enough to move easily but does everything I needed. A good choice of stitches and easy to thread either the automatic needle threader. A good selection of stitcher feet were supplied as well. Excellent value for money.
