Brother LS14S Metal Chassis Sewing Machine

Product Information

This clever little sewing machine is lightweight and portable, so you can easily stow it away when it’s not in use.

It can quilt straight lines OK, but the machine does wander slightly to the left/right, so it’s hard to sew perfectly straight. 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.It's definitely worth the money – although if you have any accessibility concerns, read that section of this review before you dive in. In comparison to some higher-end machines the options are limited but really these 14 options are all that you need – the only missing stitches would be edge finishing stitches (which you can use zig zag stitch for), eyelets (not really an essential!

Cuffs and narrow trouser legs most likely wouldn’t fit around the smaller arm unless their circumference is larger than 32cm. In a matching thread you wouldn’t notice this, but if you use a contrasting thread it would look messy. When setting up and threading the sewing machine, the Brother LS14 has a Drop-in bobbin for quick rethreading of your machine. There’s nothing wrong with the blind hem stitch itself, but in practice, it’s really hard to use without a blind hem foot. And the lack of a handle (there is a slot for your hand to grip onto) means that I wouldn’t want to carry this machine far without a strong bag to hold it in!com, and you can also take a look at our accessories page to make sure you have everything you need to get started. Simple yet packed full of essential features, the LS14 boasts a top load bobbin, an LED sewing light to illuminate your work, is easy to operate and delivers smooth, quiet sewing. Another challenge with this machine is that you have almost no control over the stitch length, width, and needle position.
