Product Information

The best feature enables you to design and program your own stitches. This is done on included graph paper sheets and you add the associated numbers into the machine and it will create stitches from the data. Reliability, I love using the Brother Innovis sewing machines, from the Innovis 15 to the 1E and anywhere in between. But it’s not just me, My other half (also known as “she who must be obeyed”) voluntarily runs a sewing club here and teaches complete beginners how to use sewing machines. Her choice is also the Innovis Range, from teaching garment construction, to the difference in needles and their effects on different types of fabrics. The reason why she chooses this sewing machine over hundreds of others is consistency. Every NV15 out of the box is exactly the same high quality as the other; there is no variable just perfect stitching every time. One dial stitch selection is easy to master from the first time you use this machine you will be impressed at how easy it is to use this machine. There are simple features in this machine that make it an excellent starter machine. The needle up/needle down button ensures the needle always stops in or out of the material which ever you like, this is great for pivoting when doing intricate work and quilting, also this can be used to help hold the fabric in place when you are doing bigger jobs like curtains, or seams in trousers or jeans when you need to do a bit of shifting around. Side feed for multi-directional sewing in four directions with straight and zigzag stitches. Sews extra-large decorative stitches up to 40mm wide.

To change the presser foot the manual suggests you turn the machine off first to avoid accidentally hitting the stop start button when your hands are near the needle. Automatically sews reinforcement stitches for a neat, professional beginning and end of stitching line. Upper thread tension adjustment

Making your stitch selections could not be easier. Simply key in the number of the pre programmed stitch you would like to use. This is your sewing control centre. The most frequently used stitches, like zigzag, straight, blind hem, ricrac, triple straight stretch and slant stretch have their own place on the touch panel. Each will allow you to sew perfect seams on any weights of fabric thanks to automatic foot pressure.

To insert the bobbin remove the case and ensure the thread is coming down the left hand side of the bobbin. I like to remember this by thinking it should create a letter 'P'. Crazy quilting design: A range of specially designed new crazy quilt stitches are ideal for the avid quilter. These distinctive designs give you a fantastic range of choice perfect for any project. What you really need to consider is, do you need everything it does? This machine is designed for quilters, which means it’s large and bulky. If you’re not planning on making large quilts, then perhaps look at a smaller, cheaper sewing machine such as the Janome 220XT, which is a lower priced entry level machine. Select whether the needle should be up or down when the machine stops. A useful function when turning material, sewing corners or joining quilt pieces. Snap on presser feetThis machine also comes with a knee lifter for control of speed and stitches, which is usually the preserve of more expensive machines The angle of the faceplate has been improved so it is easier to reach the needle when it needs changing. The Brother Innovis F420 includes the same stitch design feature as the more expensive Brother sewing machines (Image credit: Future)
