Brother Innov-is A150 Product Review and Demonstration
The Brother Innov-is A150 is a capable all-round machine built for sewers ready to stretch their creativity. Setup is straightforward thanks to the one-action needle threader and a quick-set top loading bobbin that drops in ready to sew.
With 150 built-in stitches covering utility, stretch, decorative and quilting options plus 10 one-step buttonholes, there is plenty of scope for everyday sewing and creative detail. You can combine and memorise your own stitch patterns, while 4 lettering styles let you add custom labels and monograms in capital letters. A mirror image function flips selected stitches for symmetrical designs.
The motor reaches 850 stitches per minute and the 7-point feed dogs move fabric smoothly, which means everything from silk to denim feeds evenly. A presser foot levelling button keeps the foot steady over thick seams and layers so bulky joins feed evenly. A free arm makes cuffs and hems easier. Seven presser feet are included, covering zigzag, buttonhole, zipper, overcasting and more.
At around 6.6kg, the machine is easy to carry to classes and groups, and the hard cover keeps it protected in storage.
Top Uses for the Brother Innov-is A150

This machine is perfect for
- Sewers looking for a robust all-round sewing machine and ambitious beginners wanting room to grow
- Dressmakers wanting built-in lettering - create your own professional "Made by..." labels directly on the machine using the stitch fonts
- Sewers who use multiple stitch combinations - the memory saves your settings so you don't lose them
Can sew but not ideal for
- Large quilts - the throat space is snug for bigger projects
- Everyday use - the machine is designed for regular hobby use not every day production sewing
Not suitable for
- Professional or ambitious quilters needing large throat space - this is a compact machine
- Can handle thicker fabrics like canvas and garment leather but this model is not suited to heavy duty work on a regular basis - if you intend to sew regularly with heavy weight fabrics, use our Machine Match Service and we'll recommend a model suited to your needs
- Business use - this model is best suited to domestic and hobby sewing rather than production volumes

Ratings & Reviews
Frequently Asked Questions About the Brother Innov-is A150
Let us help with the answers.
Is the Brother A150 suitable for beginners?
Yes. The electronic keypad, LCD stitch preview and one-action needle threader make it approachable for newcomers, while stitch memory and 150 stitches give improving sewers plenty of room to develop.
What presser feet come with the Brother Innov-is A150?
Seven feet are included: zigzag, monogramming, overcasting, zipper, blind stitch, button fitting and buttonhole, which covers most everyday sewing tasks straight out of the box.
Can the Brother A150 handle heavier fabrics?
Yes, within reason. Strong needle penetration and a presser foot levelling button help it cope with denim and similar mid-weights, and the levelling button keeps the foot steady over thick seams. For frequent thick canvas, very thick projects or leather, we recommend a heavier-duty model.
How does the lettering function work?
Select from 4 built-in lettering styles (capital letters only) using the electronic keypad, then combine and memorise characters to stitch custom labels and monograms.
What guarantee comes with the Brother Innov-is A150?
The A150 includes a 3-year Brother parts and labour guarantee for domestic use. Commercial use is covered for 1 year.
Can I sew without the foot pedal?
Yes. Use the start/stop button with the slide-type speed control for foot-pedal-free sewing, which suits precise work and longer sessions.
Our standard width fabric can be cut as a Fat Quarter, measuring 50cm x 1/2 the width of the bolt. Above is an example of how your fabric will be received, depending on the quantity ordered.
We also offer a sample service, where you can order 1 single fat quarter of any standard width fabric, to have at home and compare colours. When you are finished, you can send them back to us for a refund (feel free to contact us for more information on this service).
Our fabric can be cut as a Long Quarter, measuring a minimum of 25cm x width of bolt. We will supply the fabric as a continuous length (eg; if you bought 1.25m it will be sent as one piece of fabric).
