Overview

Not a computerized machine with a screen, the Brother full-size machine picks stitches with a simple dial, with every stitch printed on the body. A free arm handles sleeves and cuffs, and a finger guard shields the needle for safety.

Brother offers many stitch types and a full set of feet for everyday sewing and mending at an easy learning level. Features like a needle threader and speed control are not listed.

Who it's for

Household mending, simple garments and craft projects suit this easy to learn dial machine. Quilters wanting speed control and a large throat should look at bigger models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wide range of stitches
  • Seven feet included
  • Finger guard for safety
  • Floral face plates included
Cons
  • No needle threader listed

Performance notes

The dial sets each stitch directly, so changing patterns is quick and predictable. Stitch quality on heavy fabrics depends on needle choice and fabric thickness, which this light machine handles in moderation.
