Brother LS14S Metal Chassis Sewing Machine, 43.9 x 18.9 x 36 cm White

After purchasing a very basic and cheap (£30) machine from Amazon, which turned out to be little more than a toy, and then one that cost roughly £60 with 12 stitch types (you know the one!!) which also turned out to be useless and infuriating to use I decided to purchase this Brother This is the cheapest, known brand, sewing machine you can buy but it’s simply fantastic. It just works and works very well indeed No more constantly breaking needles and thread like the other two machines. You just thread it up, which is simplicity itself, and off you go I think for just £85, for a well respected brand like Brother, it is an absolute bargain. Also bare in mind that you get a 3 year warranty with this machine I cannot recommend it enough. All the reviews are spot on with this machine It’s also very quiet and can sew very slowly if required but can go like the clappers when you need to! As most of the other reviews have already said it’s a great machine and you just can’t go wrong I really wouldn’t waste your money on any of the cheap ‘mini’ sewing machines as they will infuriate you with how bad they really are, and sewing is supposed to be fun Totally and utterly 100% recommend this Brother sewing machine. I’m massively impressed and enjoying every minute using it UPDATE: I’ve now been using this lovely machine quite extensively repairing and altering loads of things and it’s been working fantastic. Not once have I had broken thread or needles. The only tiny thing I did notice is that you need to allow enough upper thread so when you start sewing it doesn’t pull through the needle, apart from that it’s a little wonder!! UPDATE 2: I have been using this Brother sewing machine for lots of different sewing projects and it’s been absolutely fantastic. Not once have I had a broken thread or needle. It just works and works very well indeed. It’s a complete bargain for such a great machine from a great company UPDATE 3: Please do not waste your money on the, so called, mini sewing machines from China. I tried a couple of them and they are just so frustrating to use and will probably put you off sewing for life. This is THE cheapest, known brand, sewing machine you can buy. The fact that it also has a 3 year warranty makes it a no brainier in my view UPDATE 4: I thought I had a faulty machine… oops! I read the instruction manual and thought that you could rotate the stitch selection knob all the way, 360 degrees, but discovered that actually you rotate it from stitch 1 through to stitch 14 and then back again (right to left & left to right)… hope that makes sense; the knob doesn’t rotate all the way round (360 degrees) UPDATE 5: This Brother sewing machine is still impressing me! It’s so easy to use and just sews so well. A totally brilliant machine. Please don’t bother with the ‘cheap’ toy machines from China as you will never be happy with them. Save up a little bit and buy this Brother sewing machine, it’s a real bargain for such a great machine

Fantastic little machine for beginners. It's sturdy enough that I can lug it to my classes each week without too much trouble and its fairly light compared to others. There's a decent storage part for needles/bobbins and it's easy to thread. I love that it's a top loading bobbin so I'm more likely to see when I'm running out of thread. Fairly quiet and a good little runner. I'm very happy for my needs.

I absolutely love this sewing machine. As someone who is just starting out, I was looking for a cheap, simple sewing machine just to do the basic things and this checks all the boxes. There DVD instruction manual is great, I loved the music, but be aware of this as not everyone has a DVD player in 2025. If you do though, its great! Very informative and is much better than the paper instruction manual you get given. The pedal of the machine is a little hard to control when you first start off, but you get used to it, so that was nothing too bad. Its easy to move around since there is a indented handle built into the top of the sewing machine. It looks great as well its very sturdy, and a wide range of stitches are given; zigzag, straight, filling stitch and the button one which i havent used yet. I also like the size, its not too big but not one of those tiny ones either which is great. So if you are starting off, or even have sewn before i would recomment this machine, my mother says its even better than her singer machine.

Great little sewing machine. Works perfect and very easy to thread. Really like the drop-in bobbin feature. Love the size and portability of it too. Quiet operation and very smooth. Great value for the money. Had a previous "Brother" sewing machine and it lasted over 30 years. Hope this one does the same. And this machine is so pretty! :) Very happy with this purchase.

The metal chassis feels sturdy and solid, giving a really stable sewing experience. It handles different fabrics—from cotton to denim—without any issues, and the stitching comes out neat and consistent. Setup was straightforward, and the machine runs quietly, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-built sewing machine that’s perfect for both beginners and experienced users.

Having used a Singer machine for the last few years I was a bit nervous about changing to a Brother machine. In spite of the Singer being a very temperamental machine when it came to which thread it 'liked' and would play nice for, it had been a great machine and got me through Lockdown and beyond and I was quite attached to it! While looking at the options available I saw this machine and thought the reviews were good, and I like the idea of being able to see how much thread is on the bobbin so went for it. I unboxed it today and it was very easy to set up and thread, and the bobbin was much easier to load and set; I made a few small things with it to try it out and was very impressed by this little Brother. It was quieter and much smoother than my old Singer, there were absolutely no jammed bobbin moments and no temperamental outburst about the choice of thread and not one single problem with the tension. It made the whole sewing experience much quicker and less stressful. There are plenty of stitches to choose from and although I haven't been brave enough to try the buttonhole feature yet I'm sure I will soon. All in all it is a lovely little machine and I am very pleased I chose this one.

Bon produit, facile à utiliser. Je recommande !

Excellent

A Priori la máquina esta muy bien y más por el precio a la que la conseguimos, lo malo es que el enchufe no es español, pero vamos que con un adaptador no hay problema. Más adelante volveré y comentaré ya con un poco más de uso

Followed step by step instructions but bobbin will not turn. Even when I manually turn dial on right hand side in order to pull up thread - V disappointed Will have to return
