BROTHER LS14 Metal Chassis Sewing Machine

Product Information

It’s very small compared to other machines. You can fit all the accessories the machine came with though. Unlike other big brand sewing machines, this model does not come with a carry case or a means to carry it around effortlessly. Instead, they provide a vinyl dust cover that, while keeping the machine dust free, does not protect the machine during travelling. Is This The Machine For Me?

Brother is so confident with their machines that they provide a three year manufactures warranty. This ensures that any breakages with the machine or any new parts that are needed for the machine within these three years are supported through this warranty. It has the most important stitches: straight, zig zag, blind hem, rectangle buttonhole, and a few extras. You can sew most things with these.More expensive machines have a better feeding system which solves this, like my Brother innov-is a150. It doesn’t matter how much you change the speed during a line of stitching, the stitches are consistent. Very little control over stitch settings The Brother LS14 is a sewing machine designed for home use. It is known for its user-friendly features and versatile functionality. With its mechanical design, the LS14 offers reliable performance for various sewing projects. The Brother LS14 is a really great place to start if you’re a novice sewer or wishing to start a new hobby with a beginner’s machine. This model was introduced to Brother’s range in 2011 it’s small and relatively lightweight with easy to use instructions and a simple threading system. It did join the fabric together strongly, but the Ls14s hated sewing this. It sounded very loud and thumpy. It also slowed down when going over the seam allowance humps. This created uneven stitch lengths and a skipped stitch. The motor isn’t powerful enough for this fabric. Faux leather & cotton canvas zipper pouch

With various stitches and an easy to follow instructional DVD, this machine is ideal for those who are new to the sewing world. Not only is this machine easy to set up and use, but it also allows you to learn and test a variety of skills that will allow you to grow as a sewer and craftsperson. The thread often jumps out of the needle when you’re about to sew. It’s so annoying. You need to make your thread tails really long to avoid this, which wastes a lot of thread.Overall, this is my favorite machine if you’re on a tight budget, but it’s not my favorite one for beginners who love sewing (go here to see my best sewing machine for beginners review). The Ls14s is good enough for occasional use and everyday projects. I think you’ll love how simple it is to use. I like the clear top-loading bobbin (also known as a drop-in bobbin). It lets you see when you’re almost out of thread. And most importantly, it doesn’t get jammed like front-loading systems do. The Brother LS14 is one of the cheapest and most reliable sewing machines on the UK market which makes it a versatile learning tool for a young sewer or even children, with its value for the money price tag it’s a great place to start your sewing journey. For experienced sewers, it’s also a great model because of the metal chassis and reliability. Although not really suitable for heavy fabrics such as denim or leather, it copes quite well with upholstery fabrics for curtains or cushions providing you use the right needle and stitch. We class the Brother LS14 as a Full-Size machine. Standard or full-size machines are the most versatile machine size as they work for a range of sewing applications. Full-size machines are usually wider than compact machines and this gives you slightly more space to manoeuvre the fabric around the needle area.

The Ls14s also struggled to sew perfectly straight, even when I drew straight lines on the fabric. The foot doesn’t grip the fabric enough when you’re sewing multiple layers, so it does wander slightly to the left or right by 1/8″ (3mm). You can’t adjust the foot pressure to improve this. If you don’t care about sewing really precisely, then it’s not a big deal. Another handy feature for beginners are the thread guides, these are arrows on the machine which basically guide you on how to thread the upper thread. Brother has been a well established business for over one hundred years and has been invested in the sewing industry for half that time. While they are now mostly known for their technological solutions in office supplies, they have transferred that technical knowledge over to their sewing machines.The LS14 includes a variety of stitches, allowing users to choose from multiple decorative and utility options. It features a front-loading bobbin system, which makes it easy to insert and remove the bobbin. Additionally, the machine has an automatic four-step buttonhole function, enabling users to create professional-looking buttonholes effortlessly. We believe the Brother LS14 is compatible with presser feet that are Press On / Low Shank. If you already have presser feet that are compatible with this type of shank from a previous sewing machine, then in many cases you will be able to use the same presser feet on this model as well.
