Brother LX25 Product Review
The Brother LX25 is a great starting point for anyone who wants a simple yet versatile machine. It’s incredibly quick and easy to set up with a drop-in bobbin and clear thread path. Whether you’re mending clothes, sewing home furnishings or trying your hand at dressmaking, this machine is a dependable tool to learn the basics.
From essential utility stitches to decorative options, the LX25 offers plenty of stitch variety for creative sewing. There are 25 stitches to choose from plus a 4-step automatic buttonhole. Stretch stitches let you work with jersey and other stretch fabrics, so seams flex with the material rather than pulling tight. The free-arm lets you sew sleeves, trouser legs and cuffs with ease - ideal for mending seams and hems.
A metal internal chassis gives the machine a stable, hard-wearing frame, which means dependable stitch quality over years of regular use. At around 7kg it is still easy to carry and store, so it works well in small spaces or for taking to sewing classes.
It arrives with a soft cover for protection, a set of everyday feet and a needle set.
