Weighing in at 6.6kg, this sewing machine isn’t the best choice for those that regularly go to sewing classes. This is a good indicator of a well-built sewing machine and is always a good sign that you aren’t buying a cheap sewing machine made mainly of plastic components. Included Accessories

Just like all of Brother's models, this machine has a traditional metal chassis at its core. This rigid metal framing provides the machine with added stability while supporting the numerous mechanisms that are needed to keep the machine running smoothly. The accessories that come with the Brother AE2500 aren’t by any means anything to brag about. However, it does come with a darning plate which is a positive. Due to the fact that you cant drop the feed dogs on this machine the darning plate allows you to perform free motion sewing. Weighing 6.7 Kg this is by no means considered a lightweight sewing machine. This is however a good indication that it has many parts made of metal rather than plastic, which is always a good sign as metal parts are far more durable. If you are thinking about taking it to sewing classes just be sure that you don’t have to walk too far before you get to your class. Included Accessories Equipped with a 51 watt motor, while this machine may be considered a beginners machine it does have the ability to sew through multiple layers of fabric with ease. While this motor is less powerful than quilting machine motors, you are still able to successfully test your quilting skills out while using this model. You are able to easily change the tension of your top thread due to a tension dial on the front of the machine. This means that you are able to change the strength of your stitch preventing it from becoming frail.In this review, we will focus on Brother sewing machines. Brother is the company that creates high-quality products with the user's convenience in mind. Since the launching date in 1954, Brother hasn't stopped improving existing ideas and seeking for best features to implement in each of their new products. So what does the company offer?

The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Sewing machines category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Brother. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Brother branded products in the Sewing machines category.

Another model by the Brother brand and this time its the Brother AE1700, which i recommend as been the best value beginner model in the UK. In terms of price, it is in the same region as the first two models only it has more to offer. So let’s carry on with our Brother AE1700 Stitch Sewing Machine review and explore the product’s pricing.

Below you can find a list of the most common sewing projects and the type of machine that is best suited to it

The Brother AE1700 is a traditional basic sewing machine with qualities that make it well-suited for those new to sewing. With 17 different stitches a four step button hole and automatic bobbin winder, it has the basics covered for a good beginner sewing machine. It comes with a number of accessories and presser feet. In addition it features a twin needle allowing you to get more creative with decorative stitches on a wide range of fabrics. The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Brother. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Brother AE1700 Stitch Sewing Machine vs other products in the Sewing machines category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. This deco embroidery machine is a great choice for people who'd like a good-quality, long-lasting machine, but are on a lower budget than the Brother FS100WT we mentioned earlier. This computerized sewing machine offers you twice as many stitch design options for enhanced variety, and pretty much the same range of features as the Brother.Brother has also provided a three year manufacturer's warranty to ensure any breakages or faults with the machine are covered. However, if you optionally use metal bobbins instead of plastic ones then this will invalidate your warranty. Why Should I Buy Brother? The next thing to consider is how many sewing options the chosen model provides. By this, we mean buttonhole, stitch variety and adjustability, speed capacity, etc. As a rule, all Brother sewing machines allow for adjusting stitches and offer a few standard designs of buttonholes. The more sophisticated model of your choice is the more options it will have. As for a stitch pattern variety, the best Brother sewing machines feature at least several types of different stitches including straight standard, zigzags, blind stitches, applique, quilting stitches and so on. A number of designs in most modern sewing machines now may vary from ten to hundreds of options. And even though most of them will never be used, it's still nice to have a greater choice. Speed adjustability is another function that comes in handy when it comes to sewing soft, elastic, and delicate fabrics that tend to fold in the process. It allows for controlling the process making it easier for beginner tailors to get the hang of sewing. Accessories The main flaw we noticed was that it seemed significantly lighter than many other high-end models, which usually an indicator of lower-quality (plastic). However, the build is smaller and it is designed to be a portable model, hence the materials used are specifically chosen to make this item lightweight. The Brother A60 SE is yet another Innovis model that sits in between a premium A150 automatic model and a more grounded A50 variant and designed for craftsmen that feel comfortable working with a needle. Brother started out as a family rand business more than 100 years ago, so they know a thing or two about the average domestic environment. While building innovative, expertly designed sewing machines, they have kept the same values they started with to produce a practical and domestic sewing machine.
