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. When compared against the Brother FS40, FS60 and the FS70WT, the FS100WT has a lot more to offer. With an impressive 100 stitches, 8 buttonholes and an alphabet set it is well equipped for the vast majority of sewing needs. In addition it features a needle threader, stop/start buttons, speed control slider and comes with 8 presser feet. Overall the FS100WT has a fairly sturdy and robust feel to it when in use. It weighs 7.5kg, which isn’t the heaviest but it is stable and doesn’t move around. The lightweight of this machine makes it quite portable, that is once you have removed the extension table.

Consider your budget- and what you hope to achieve with a computerised sewing machine. These machines are designed to offer ease in tasks which would otherwise require a vast amount of time and high skill. Before narrowing down your choices, the first step should be to get a firm handle on exactly how you’ll be using your machine. That will determine “how much” of a sewing machine you’ll need.

In traditional sewing machine options, you don't usually get a lettering function as they're an amazing feature mainly associated with commercial/luxury sewing machine brands- this model includes 100 letters and numbers for you to stitch with, including eight one-step buttonhole styles (auto-size), and various needle positions to choose from There is also a dust cover that comes with the FS100WT. The dust cover is by no means special in any particular way, but it is a good accessory to have, especially with a computerised machine.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. Warranty Stitch Designs: Despite being a more affordable model from a renowned brand, this sewing machine features 17 different stitch designs including utility and decorative; there's also a four-step buttonhole included in this model Granted, it's not the cheapest machine on our list, but if you want great dual functionality, it's the perfect bit of kit. Alternatively, if you're a professional seamstress, this will also be really useful for you- you can grow your client base by offering designs that look cleaner and are more applicable to a wider range of customers. For example, you can extend your clientele towards mothers who are looking to buy something with a more authentic, personal touch for their children.

This product is truly designed for advanced users and participants within embroidery craft, so we do not recommend it for people who are starting out.

Furthermore if you are in to doing a lot of free-motion sewing and embroidery the feed dogs can be dropped.

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 FS100WT has speed control which allows you to manipulate the way your machine is functioning during usage. Additionally, there is a handy power, or stop/start button which allows you to take full control of the sewing machine. For those of you who are used to pedals, this will take some time to adjust to.

You benefit from an automatic bobbin winding system and drop-in top bobbin system, an automatic needle threader, and a free arm to allow you to sew sleeves and cuffs.

It features a wide table and embroidery foot, which is great for free-motion quilting and embroidery. Brother FS100WT Sewing & Quilting Machine I upgraded from an inherited sewing machine from the early 90s to this machine and it's such a step up. I'm fairly new to sewing and I got this machine as I think it will be good to start on and allow me to carry on with it as my skills improve. The Innovis M280D offers a vast array of 181 different sewing stitches- so you can have a pretty entertaining time trying these all out on fabrics. Another thing which could make this machine better yet still fit the overall theme of its selling point would be a quilting function. A quilting function is nothing structural, rather it is a decorative feature which deserves to be places amongst embroidery.
