Brother FS70WTX Sewing and Quilting Machine - 70 Built-in Stitches, Automatic Needle Threader, White | Perfect for Home DIY Projects, Quilting, Dressmaking & Crafting

This is my first ever sewing machine and the only one I’ve ever used - and it’s been great!I’d done some very basic hand sewing here and there, but I recently decided to take up sewing as a hobby and invest in a sewing machine.I was initially overwhelmed by all the different options, but I went with Brother because they seem to have very nice budget computerised machines. There are definitely cheaper options out there, but this model offers some bells and whistles, such as automatic needle threading, speed control, a top-loading bobbin, a needle position button and a wide variety of stitches - none of these are essential but they’ve made the experience much more enjoyable. This machine also comes with quite a few accessories, which is a great.I found it very intuitive even for complete beginners. It’s also relatively light but feels robust enough thanks to the metal chassis.It’s worth noting that this is not a heavy duty machine - I’m not sure if it would be able to cope with a lot of layers or thicker fabrics, but it’s great for fat quarter projects and basic mending.Overall I’m very satisfied with it and I’d definitely recommend this machine to beginners such as myself.
