Brother Innov-is A65 Sewing Machine Review
A reliable, feature-packed machine perfect for beginners and beyond.
Brother sewing machines are some of the most widely known around the world.
That’s because they manufacture high-quality sewing machines that don’t cost as much as other “luxury” brands. And the Brother Innov-is A65 Sewing Machine is no different. It’s moderately priced and packed with features any user will appreciate.
This computerised sewing machine is perfect for developing skills as a beginner or intermediate sewer. Advanced users will appreciate it too — especially if they’re looking for a backup machine or something travel-friendly for classes or retreats. It’s sturdy, useful, and not overwhelming.
The Brother Innov-is A65 has 60 unique stitches, including 6 one-step buttonholes — a huge asset for garment makers. Different fabrics and garments require varied buttonhole shapes and finishes. For example, clothing made from knit fabric needs a buttonhole that allows stretch without compromising structure.
Threading this machine is easy thanks to its built-in needle threader. It also features a top-loading bobbin, giving better access for cleaning and maintenance, and a fast, efficient bobbin winding system.
It's user-friendly too, with clearly marked controls right on the front — including speed slider, needle up/down, automatic thread cutter, reverse and more. Stitch selection is easy via a dial below the screen, with a full stitch guide displayed above.
The workspace is well-lit and spacious enough for moderately sized projects like quilts and dresses. A bright LED light eliminates shadows, and there’s a generous 6 inches of space to the right of the needle.
With the Innov-is A65, you’ll also receive a hard case to protect your machine from dust, damage, and knocks during transport or storage.
