Product Information

Comes with a heavy duty metal frame with stainless steel bed-plate. High speed sewing 1100 stitches per minute.

Various Styles: This computerized sewing machine by Uten features 200 different stitch styles integrated, as well as 8, one-step style buttonholes to select from! With this large variety of design options (utility and decorative stitches included), you can create all sorts of beautiful designs without the need for traditional hand-driven embroidery. In addition to the 100 stitches there is also an alphabet set. Compared to some computerised sewing machines the set is quite limited with 55 characters in total. The set includes a mixture of both letters and numbers. It is worth noting that the letters are uppercase only and the size can’t be adjusted. Consequently, if you use lettering quite a lot you may want to consider a machine with more options. Design and Build Quality For professional users, a computerised sewing machine is the obvious choice anyway, but you may want to delve a little deeper into what features other machines have to offer, such as automated embroidery. Some machines even have handy quilting options programmed, so be sure to look into these things. Drop-Feed Motion: Like many other sewing machines, the Uten computerised sewing machine features a drop-feed mechanism for free motion style usability when sewing or quilting cloth.Most digital embroidery machines will come with a library for inbuilt designs, but if you want to be able to add more at a later date or perhaps even design your own, you want to make sure it’s got the functionality to add new designs either via USB or by connecting it to specialist design software. What is the best embroidery machine to buy? It has a built-in handle making it easy to carry and transport and comes with an extra wide table and free Motion Embroidery Foot included - perfect for all your free motion embroidery or quilting needs. Digital embroidery uses a computerised machine to do all the hard work for you! They come with a hoop or frame to hold your fabric, and the machine moves the fabric as well as the needle to create the desired design. It’s a pretty hands-off process other than when it comes to changing thread colour and possibly snipping the thread at the end of a stitch run.

This machine comes with Zig Zag, Buttonhole and Zipper feet to compliment your everyday household sewing tasks, along with a helpful instructional DVD if you need some guidance. Furthermore, should you have shirt sleeves or cuffs that need stitching, the Brother LS14S can be conveniently converted into a free arm machine for extra manoeuvrability. The clear covered drop-in bobbin holder allows you to monitor how much cotton you have at any time – reducing the risk of running out part-way through your work. However, this sewing machine is limited to the use of plastic bobbins as a metal one may damage the machine or affect your stitch quality.This Singer 3232 is suitable for any sewing level with a diverse set of 32 adjustable length and width stitches, an automatic needle threader, thread cutter and 4 different feet attachments. It may not have every fancy stitch available, but it’s more than suitable for all your everyday sewing needs – such as dressmaking, hemming, button sewing even quilting. Computerised Stitch Selection: The stitch selection is also easy to access and utilise, as it is all computerised. You simply select the style you want- and voila! Additional accessories include 1 twin needle, 1 extra spool pin, 1 cleaning brush, 1 set of needles, 1 spare bobbin and a screw driver disc. Warranty Large LCD screen: There is a bright, crisp LCD display on this Uten computerised sewing machine which features a clear blue tint in contrast to the writing on the screen. This is great for easy reading, and it is also great for night-time work on projects.

Fourth on this list is the Brother AE1700, which is a budget machine for anyone who's looking for a reliable, high-quality product, but won't be needing it for commercial or advanced project purposes. This compact, basic model is a great investment for you if you're starting out with embroidery or will be creating personal/small business projects. There is a 3 year warranty with the FS100WT. Earlier on I mentioned that only plastic bobbins should be used and that metal ones will damage the machine. Brother have made it clear that using metal bobbins will invalidate the warranty and yes they can tell the difference between a machine that has been using plastic and metal bobbins!
