The Brother LS14 sewing machine comes recommended in many sewing machine reviews as one of the best beginner models and I have to agree. This Brother model does not have a high-powered motor and at 50 watts is little on the lower end, this is not a problem for most applications, being able to sew through multi layers of fabric for a hemline or copes well with dressmaking craft and home textiles. The needle positions on this model also appear to be limited and may only be controlled using the inbuilt stitch presets. While there is a vast market for specialised sewing machines such as machines for quilting, there is a bigger market for domestic sewing machines.Having a sewing machine that can easily be taken to sewing classes or a friend’s home has its obvious benefits. Note that the adjustable stitch width control on this model appears to be fairly limited, and may not affect all of the inbuilt stitches.

Using the needle as a pivot, turn the fabric, lower the presser foot lever, and then continue sewing.

While this does not really affect the machine, it can be a little inconvenient and is kind of a pointless feature. Unlike other big brand sewing machines, this model does not come with a carry case or a means to carry it around effortlessly. This means that your machine has less chance of breaking or causing simple problems that you may find with other brands as Brother have the innovation and knowledge behind them to implement systems that would prevent this.

On many machines, these results will only be achieved with the correct needle and thread combination, so specialty needles and threads may need to be purchased separately and may not be supplied with your machine. Clean the machine, especially the bobbin area, to remove any debris that might be causing the noise. The stitch length and width can be easily adjusted, allowing more control over the stitching outcome.
