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).
Brother Innov-is F560 Product Review and Demonstration
The Brother Innov-is F560 is an excellent choice for sewers and quilters. Setting up is quick, with a quick-set drop-in bobbin, an advanced needle threader and a speed control slider that lets you settle on a comfortable pace before you touch the foot pedal.
The 7 ½" workspace to the right of the needle gives you space to work on bigger projects like larger size quilts, and the knee lifter keeps both hands on your fabric while the presser foot lifts and drops. Brother's Square Feed Drive System feeds thick and thin layers evenly, which means fewer slipped layers on quilt sandwiches and stretch fabrics like jersey.
There are 241 built-in stitches, including 10 one-step buttonhole styles and 5 lettering alphabets, all selected on the 3.7 inch colour LCD touchscreen. Multi-directional sewing moves fabric in four directions for crisp decorative work and My Custom Stitch™ lets you draw and save your own patterns.
Automatic upper thread tension takes the guesswork out of stitch quality, while adjustable presser foot pressure has the ability to cope with different weights of fabric. Seven presser feet, a twin needle and a hard case are included, so the machine is ready to use straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Brother Innov-is F560
Let us help with the answers.
Is the Brother Innov-is F560 suitable for beginners?
It suits a confident beginner, though it is built with improvers in mind. Automatic tension, the advanced needle threader and on-screen stitch selection keep things simple while the stitch range gives you plenty to grow into.
Is a Walking Foot included?
No. Seven presser feet are supplied, covering zigzag, monogramming, overcasting, zipper, blind stitch, button fitting and buttonhole work. A Brother 7mm walking foot is available separately if you plan to quilt through wadding regularly.
Can the Brother Innov-is F560 Handle Heavy Fabrics?
Yes. The Square Feed Drive System keeps layers moving evenly, and the electronic presser foot adjusts to suit the material in front of you. That covers everything from lightweight stretch fabrics to multiple quilted layers.
How does My Custom Stitch™ work?
You draw a stitch pattern on the machine screen point by point, then save it to memory. The saved design can be recalled, mirrored or combined with built-in stitches for your own decorative sequences.
How much workspace does the F560 give you?
The workspace measures 190mm, roughly 7.4 inches, to the right of the needle. That is enough to hold a folded quilt top steady while you stitch, rather than wrestling it through a narrow gap.
What warranty comes with this machine?
The Brother Innov-is F560 comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty from Brother UK. Our in-house service centre handles warranty work directly, so you deal with people who know the machine.
Can I sew without the foot pedal?
Yes. Use the start/stop button with the speed control slider to sew at a set pace, which is useful for free motion quilting and long sessions at the machine.
