Brother sewing machines have been around for many years, always coming through as great little machines that whoever uses them falls in love with their machines. They are sturdy and easy to navigate, no matter what level of expertise or experience you have or how fancy the machine is.

Let’s get into the specifics about the Brother L14S sewing machine.

The L14S is a mechanical machine. That means that no part of it is computerised. There’s no need for a screen since all of your possible stitches are easily displayed on the machine itself. It makes for easy stitch selection by just the twist of a knob. Your other customisation choices are made by the other easy-to-find knob right above the needle. The reverse lever is also easily located right below your stitch selection knob on the front of the machine.

On the stitch selection knob, you’ll find 14 different stitches, including one buttonhole stitch. With 14 different stitches, you’ll be able to create beautiful quilts and garments. You can even customise the stitches with up to a maximum of 5mm in stitch width.

But that’s not all that makes this Brother machine easy to use! The L14S also features an easy to thread drop-in bobbin case. You’re less likely to get thread nests with a drop-in bobbin, and it’s easier to clean on a regular basis than other bobbin cases.

Don’t underestimate this little machine. You can use this machine to create anything you set your mind to using the L14s! You can piece together beautiful quilts easily with this machine. You can sew clothes and costumes with the L14S, too! This sewing machine is great for any kind of sewing, really.

The Brother L14S can also make for a great travel machine for the quilter that attends many retreats throughout the year! It’s lightweight at only 5 to 8kg, and the fact that there’s no screen makes it less likely you’re going to damage this machine in transit.

Even though it’s a smaller machine, you still get a good amount of working space. There are 6 inches to the right of the needle, giving you plenty of room to work on quilts, clothes, and bags to your heart’s delight.
