Brother Innov-is NV1300 Sewing Machine Review

Brother sewing machines are known to be great machines for reasonable prices.

They’re reliable, sturdy, and tend to be loaded with great features that will assist you in your creative processes. And the Brother Innov-is NV1300 Sewing Machine is no exception!

This sewing machine is great for the experienced sewist that loves to create many different projects. From quilts to clothes to bags to home décor, this machine is fantastic for any project you put to the needle! It’s not too small that you’ll be struggling to work on bigger projects, but not too big and bulky that it will take up too much space in your studio, and it has a well-rounded number of stitches without being overloaded with stitches you won’t use. If you know what you’re looking for in a sewing machine, then the Innov-is NV1300 Sewing Machine might be exactly what you’re seeking.

When we say that this machine has the perfect amount of stitches, we really mean it! You’ll find that it is programmed with 182 unique stitches. 10 of which are automatic 1-step buttonholes, and you’ll have access to 5 different alphabet styles. There’s a good number of decorative stitches and all of the utility stitches you expect to be included with your brand-new sewing machine!

The screen on the Brother Innov-is NV1300 is one that you’ll love! It’s large enough to see, but not so big that it takes up the whole machine. You’ll be able to see the stitch you’ve selected as well as it’s width and length (which you can easily customise!), and it will tell you which presser foot you should be using!

If you’re someone that likes being able to keep their hands on your work instead of having to let go in order to lift the presser foot, you’ll love that this sewing machine has a knee lift! When you learn to use a knee lift, you entire sewing experience will be changed for the better. It really gives you that extra bit of assistance so that if you’re working with delicate fabrics or applique that you can keep your hands on the fabric and manipulate it easily while holding the presser foot up with a little nudge of your knee.

If you’re someone that loves being able to free motion quilt, then you’ll appreciate how easy it is to drop the feed dogs. You can use rulers to create the perfect designs for your quilts, or you can completely freehand it! You’re completely in control with this sewing machine!

And if you like being able to clean your machine easily and be able to thread your machine quickly, then you’ll want to check out the Brother Innov-is NV1300’s Easy Set Bobbin. It’s a drop-in bobbin that helps to avoid jams and makes it easier to clean because you’ll be able to see into the machine with ease in order to remove the dust bunnies that build up with each sewing project. And it’s easy to thread- just drop it in and follow the little arrows with your thread tail! It’s very easy and very user-friendly.

This sewing machines favourite feature is the storage tray! You’ll find these trays in the machine that are set for specific presser feet and other accessories that you’ll be more likely to use on a regular basis. It makes everything organised and easy to find!

We previously said that this machine is big enough to have enough space for larger projects but isn’t too big. You’ll love that there are over 8 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, so you can fit larger quilts through it!

Here at the Sewing Studio, we just adore this sewing machine! It’s not too flashy and it certainly helps you to get the job done and done well at that! It’s a machine that you’ll love having for many years to come, as it’s low-maintenance and very easy to set up and keep organised.

If you have any questions about this machine or any other machine that we carry, no matter if they’re sewing machine or overlockers or meant for embroidery, we’ll have an answer! Contact us today and we will get you set up with your brand-new sewing machine!
