I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She is 7. She has loved using it. As you say it is very easy to use, but allows her to do all the sewing she wants- unlike the very lightweight child sewing machines. I was pleased to buy her something I felt she was not going to outgrow and would give her a proper introduction to the world of sewing.

I have the brother LS14s and I’m a beginner at sewing, I’m curious what the little hole next to the knob at front is used for. I can see that it has something to do with a zig zag stitch but I’m scared to try it. This video was very helpful when I first got my machine.

This machine is ideal for someone who can't lift the old heavy sewing machines. I have a bad back and my machine is not only playing up but the fact that its now become a problem to lift makes me reluctant to spend money on repairs. At the current price of £80, I'm better off buying this. It does more than enough and this video demonstrates that I'd be getting a pretty robust machine. Thanks Wendy.

I watched another review and that showed there is a thread cutter. It is on the end of the left hand side of the machine which looks like a little hook. Also, you slide the storage drawer to the left to open. Hope that helps!! 😃😃

Hi Wendy I got this sewing machine as I am a beginner sewer, just wondering about the best stitches to use, so for long stitches for basting which one do you use? and what stitch number is best for regular sewing ? should the tension dial stay at 4 for all stitches or do you adjust that too? thanks so much for your review it was very helpful - Gina in Ireland
@sewletssewwithwendymathias
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Gina, Thank you for you comments . For basting I would make the straight stitch the longest it will go, usual about 4. For general sewing I would set the stitch length to 2.5 or 3.0. You should keep the tension at around 3 to 4 , but you will soon know if it’s wrong. Pleas let me know how you are getting, if I be any more help just let me know xx
