Product Information

This clever little sewing machine is lightweight and portable, so you can easily stow it away when it’s not in use. Most items are available for check and reserve with the exception of fabric and other items sold by the metre. If automated controls are important to you then you might like to consider a machine classed as Competent, Advanced or Professional.

The needle positions on this model also appear to be limited and may only be controlled using the inbuilt stitch presets. The Brother LS14s sewing is an entry level sewing machine that is intended to be affordable and easy to use.The included screwdriver is a flat metal piece, so is more slippery than a standard mini screwdriver. 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. This computerised machine offers 30 stitches (adjustable length and width), a top loading bobbin and is easy to thread. Our expert testers try out this entry-level sewing machine – perfect for beginners or those looking for a second machine to take to classes or sewing clubs! Standard or full-size machines are the most versatile machine size as they work for a range of sewing applications.

The LS14 sewing machine features 14 stitches including three embroidery stitches and a 4-step buttonhole. The manual is quite brief, however there are good basic instructions for the features of the machine as well as an instructional DVD. In a matching thread you wouldn’t notice this, but if you use a contrasting thread it would look messy.At Brother, we pour over 100 years of sewing expertise into every machine we make, whether it’s for a big manufacturer or a casual crafter – and we’ve carefully designed the L14S to ensure it’ll give you all the reliability and flexibility you need. Note that the adjustable stitch width control on this model appears to be fairly limited, and may not affect all of the inbuilt stitches. If you're a more experienced sewer looking for a second machine to take to sewing classes then this also a good choice. There is a fold-out manual, an instructional DVD, a leaflet for checking the quality of your thread and a three year warranty. There’s nothing wrong with the blind hem stitch itself, but in practice, it’s really hard to use without a blind hem foot.
