The best for young beginners
Know a budding sewer eager to get started? The Brother L14S Sewing Machine is super easy to use, lightweight, and packed with features offering great value for money. We’ve sold lots to students, teens, and beginners starting their sewing journey this year.

These machines are ideal for all types of sewing. They can handle a variety of fabrics and offer complete creative flexibility. We think they’re top of their game in this price range!
The ideal machine upgrade
Know a sewer ready to upgrade? The Janome Memory Craft 6700P Sewing Machine will take their sewing to the next level. It comes with a comprehensive range of accessories and can handle professional-level projects. It’s a firm favourite with The Sewing Studio team!
Great for quilters and patchwork
The quilter in your life will appreciate a machine with generous space to the right of the needle (known as the throat space), even fabric feeding, and a good selection of quilting feet and stitches. Features such as an automatic thread cutter, speed control, and adjustable presser foot pressure make quilting smoother and more enjoyable.
We rate these machines for quilters who want a good amount of space to the right of the needle for larger projects, a great range of quilting accessories, and the ability to stitch through multiple fabric layers.
The best machines for dressmaking, upcycling and cosplay
For anyone who loves making clothes or costumes, choose a machine with precision stitching, stretch stitch options, and good control over speed. Overlockers are also a brilliant addition as they give garments a professional finish and make sewing with knits or stretchy fabrics an easy task.
The ultimate treat for a passionate all-round sewer
We covet the Bernina 770 QE Pro Sewing Machine for its incredible range of features, fast sewing speed and exceptional stitch quality. Like all Bernina machines, it’s beautifully engineered and simply a dream to sew with.
