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

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 theboxes.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.

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 BrotherThis is the cheapest, known brand, sewing machine you can buy but it’s simply fantastic. It just works and works very well indeedNo more constantly breaking needles and thread like the other two machines. You just thread it up, which is simplicity itself, and off you goI 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 machineI cannot recommend it enough. All the reviews are spot on with this machineIt’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 wrongI 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 funTotally and utterly 100% recommend this Brother sewing machine. I’m massively impressed and enjoying every minute using itUPDATE: 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 companyUPDATE 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 viewUPDATE 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

Fabulous machine! I’m not much of a sewer but wanted a half decent machine for my paper crafting (don’t ask)!! It was actually cheaper to buy this machine than to get my mother’s old machine serviced and cleaned! It’s a lovely machine with enough stitch choices to keep me happy. It’s quiet in use and very easy to thread up and fill the bobbin. On the whole I think it’s the best machine I have used in a very long time and at a great price! The only downside is not having a cover or case to put it in, but for a budget machine I can live with that! I have even managed to sew a cover for it using fat quarters woo hoo!! Definitely recommend this fabulous little lightweight machine!

I bought this as a gift for a junior school class. They were keen to learn to sew. It's cheap but it works well and easy to thread etc. It was a bit light compared to my own which is older and has heft behind it. I had to stop some of the boys from leaning against it. For a first time sewing machine its good value for money and a great gift for a young person starting out.

I bought this as gift but I managed to ask for some intell about this.Its appearantly one of the best brands fot sewing machines. Works well and very easy to use.Well made sturdy and helpful.I wish there was more designs and styles as having this design as my only option didn't feel great.I feel this brand should consider creating colours and styles to suit different needs and colour needs for comfort of vision.other than that its perfect and works really well. Good for begginers and professionals

Fabulous machine, so easy to set up and thread, plenty of stitching options for a basic, quality machine. Sews very smoothly with adjustable sewing speed, perfect for what I needed it for. Good looking machine

Had this a little while now and very impressed with the quality of the unit. Very light and easy to carry. A cover for it would have been nice but I suppose I can make one myself now!

Great buy and easy to operate.
