Brother Celeste CX1 Sewing Machine Product Review

Brother sewing machines are known for being reliable, sturdy, and full of thoughtful features at reasonable prices.

The Brother Celeste CX1 Sewing & Quilting Machine is no exception!

This machine is designed for sewers who want precision, creativity and versatility. Whether you’re quilting, crafting, or making garments, it offers an impressive array of functions to explore without feeling overwhelmed. Its size is just right: spacious enough for large projects, yet designed to fit comfortably into your sewing space.Brother Sewing Machines Brother Celeste CX1 Sewing Machine  - The Sewing Studio

When we say this machine is packed with features, we really mean it. The Celeste CX1 comes with 760 built-in stitches, including decorative, utility, tapering and Sashiko options. There’s a huge variety of stitches to personalise your projects, plus 15 one-step buttonholes, giving you all the flexibility you need without unnecessary extras.

One of the standout features is the Intelligent Stitch Regulator (ISR). This automatically adjusts the needle timing to match your fabric feed, ensuring perfectly even stitches every time, whether you’re free-motion quilting or sewing delicate fabrics. It’s a feature that makes a real difference for both experienced sewers and those looking to step up their quilting.

The 10.1” HD LCD touchscreen is large, clear and easy to navigate. It shows stitch selection, width, length and recommends the correct presser foot, making your sewing experience straightforward and efficient.

You’ll love the hands-free knee lift, which allows you to raise and lower the presser foot without taking your hands off your fabric. Combined with the ability to drop the feed dogs for free-motion quilting, you’re completely in control when creating intricate designs or working with multiple layers.

Threading and maintenance are simple thanks to the Easy Set, drop-in bobbin, automatic needle threading and adjustable bobbin winding speed. These features reduce hassle, prevent jams, and make it easy to keep your machine running smoothly for years.

The Celeste CX1 also provides over 11 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, and the included wide table expands this to approximately 16” x 25”. Bright 10” LED lighting and a Sew Straight Laser Guide help keep your work perfectly aligned, even on dark fabrics.
