Brother LX25 Sewing Machine Review

If you’re looking to purchase a sewing machine on a tight budget...

The Brother LX25 Sewing Machine may be the perfect option for you! This mechanical sewing machine is small but mighty! And it’s the perfect machine for any sewist of any level, but it’s especially well-made for beginners. It’s a great machine to start your young, aspiring quilters on! The sweet green and blue striped is especially stylish, too.

This sewing machine is part of the beginner range of Brother sewing machines and comes equipped with 25 unique stitches, including one 1 buttonhole. That’s the perfect amount to be able to sew any kind of garment, from cocktail dresses to baby clothes to anything in between. You’ll also be able to piece and quilt quilts to your heart’s delight with this machine!

A great feature of this particular sewing machine is that it has a top loading bobbin. Top loading bobbins are easy to thread compared to front loading bobbins. You can easily see into the bobbin casing to see if there are any issues, such as a jam or issues with the machine’s timing. It’s also easier to clean on your own and less likely to jam with thread nests. When you’re able to clean your sewing machine on your own, you’re going to save money since you won’t have to take the machine in for any jams that lint might cause. You’ll also be extending the life of sewing machines by dusting them out after each project.

And while this machine is small, it’s not too small. You’ll find that you have a good 6 inches of workspace to the right of the needle. That’s plenty of space to quilt small to medium-sized projects on your own!

If you’re looking to purchase this machine for quilting purposes, whether it’s your regular sewing machine that you use every time you want to quilt or it’s your retreat or travel machine, you might want to consider purchasing a few extra accessories. Luckily, Brother brand accessories are inexpensive, so adding them to your order won’t break the bank!

First, you should consider purchasing a 1/4 inch piecing foot. This style of presser foot will help you maintain a perfect 1/4 inch seam while you piece your quilts. And with Brother, you actually have two options for this type of foot. They have a presser foot with a guide, so that your fabric doesn’t stray. Or, if you’re steady with your hands, you can choose the one without a guide.

Now, if you’re well-versed in quilting or sewing with multiple layers, you know you’ll want to have a walking foot at the ready! A walking foot helps to feed your fabric through the machine at an even rate, especially if there are multiple layers to your project. It has a set of its own feed dogs on the presser foot itself to grasp the fabric in time with the lower feed dogs on the machine.

If you’re someone who likes to free motion quilt, you’re going to want to purchase an open toe quilting foot and free motion quilting frame! While this machine doesn’t allow for the feed dogs to drop, it does come with a darning plate that covers the feed dogs so that they don’t grab onto your fabric as you work! You won’t have a problem converting this machine into the free motion quilting machine of your dreams!
