Brother FS100WT Free Motion Embroidery/Sewing and Quilting Machine

Product Information

Based on the screen, you can benefit from a handy stitch selection methodology which is accessible through quick touch.

With free motion embroidery, you are essentially using the sewing machine needle like a pen and use it to draw around the edge of your fabric design. Whether you're a total beginner to the sewing and crafts world, or you're well-versed and experienced, this sewing machine is a great choice.It has a built-in handle making it easy to carry and transport and comes with an extra wide table and free Motion Embroidery Foot included - perfect for all your free motion embroidery or quilting needs. Annotated Plate: The needle plate on the Uten computerised sewing machine is also annotated, marking the inches and centimetres onto it too, which is a great addition to the design.

Ease of Use: This machine makes your life really easy with various handy features that you can't actually get with cheaper machines, including - a quick-set drop-in bobbin system (like the Brother FS100WT); a free arm for sleeves and cuffs; an automatic integrated needle threader; an automatic bobbin-winding mechanism. If you prefer flexibility of use when sewing, you’ll be pleased to hear that this machine can be controlled by either the foot pedal or with the hand-controlled stop/start buttons and slide speed controls.Thanks to the clearly marked jag dial which is comfortably positioned; all levels of sewers will find the 14 fixed width and length stitch settings easy to locate and operate – although this may not be enough choice for all users. The instructions were clear, I managed to work out the needle threader after a few attempts which is a fantastic feature. The start/stop button can be used with or without the foot control; there is also preset and variable stitch length and width. For those that like the look of this model, but don’t really need an extension table, needle threader or as many stitches as it offers, the FS40 is a great and more affordable alternative.

If you do manage to struggle there is always the online user manual and free instructional DVD that comes with every purchase. Quilt Pivoting: For easier quilt pivoting, the needle features innovative memory technology (up/down) to help make the task much easier.With 40 stitches, stop/start buttons and a wide range of presser feet it offers very good value for money. These machines are designed to offer ease in tasks which would otherwise require a vast amount of time and high skill. There will of course be experienced sewers that find the lettering capabilities are rather limited and with a lettering size of 6mm, it won’t be suitable for all of you. The machine comes with an extra wide table attachment, free motion embroidery foot and drop feed mechanism which is perfect for heavy-duty quilting or embroidery projects. Additional accessories include 1 twin needle, 1 extra spool pin, 1 cleaning brush, 1 set of needles, 1 spare bobbin and a screw driver disc.

The automatic bobbin winder, needle threader, and quick-set drop-in bobbin system are great additions to make your life a little easier, so you can spend more time embroidering, rather than setting up your machine. This is perhaps the most convenient option for anyone who is going to use their machine for projects (college, for example)- or to practise on the go. If you are not looking for the best basic sewing machine then find one with the flexibility to vary the length and width of stitches which is a major advantage. Ergonomics and controls also make a huge difference and that is why you need to compare sewing machines.

This is a plastic bobbin only sewing machine, so please don’t be tempted to use metal bobbins as you will more than likely damage it. The Janome J3-18 is a lightweight sewing machine that features a convertible free-arm for circular sewing and a front loading bobbin case. The Janome Memory Craft 500E provides you with a host of editing functions to make your design as personalised as possible. This is an excellent inclusion for people who like to make handmade goods for birthdays and other special occasions.
