TESTED: Best Sewing Machines for Beginners
Quick summary of each machine and where to buy them: link.threadsmonthly.com/beginner-machine
I compared 56 beginner sewing machines and tested 7 of the best. My recommendations are the Brother innov-is A16 for hobby sewists, and the basic Brother Ls14s for people who only sew occasionally. Affiliate links below :) This video was not sponsored in any way, and I didn't receive any free gifts.
Top pick: Brother innov-is A16
- UK Amazon: amzn.to/3FIa6O7
Very similar:
- USA Sewing Machines Plus: shrsl.com/39n5c (almost identical, but it has 80 stitches)
- USA Amazon: amzn.to/3xhLVmL (more stitches and feet, but no 'lockstitch' ability and the needle threader's more fiddly)
- Canada Amazon: amzn.to/...

    Gentili signori/e insomma, vorrei iniziare a cucire ma sono totalmente inesperto. Come prima macchina per principianti neofiti e imbranati come me, quale di queste meravigliose macchine mi consigliereste? Vi prego di aiutarmi perché non so proprio cosa comprare, e non vorrei commettere un errore di acquisto! Un piccolo Aiuto per favore grazie. Buon lavoro a tutti ❤👍

    I was trying to find if there are any mechanical differences between the a16 and a150, but I was told there are non. Even by the brotherUK, now I am not sure how to interpret the bonus segment, any thoughts?

      Hi, I was told by a sewing machine store at the time that, in general, the more expensive machines have more powerful motors. I don't have the knowledge to say more than that, though. Only a sewing machine mechanic/engineer would know the details. Sorry that I can't be of more use! The a16 and a150 are both excellent machines. If you want the extra stitches, you might find the a150 better.

    Thank you! I went to an official Singer video first and they didn't bother to explain that the flat side of the needle faces the rear. I fumbled and fumbled and fumble around until I went back to RUclips and found your vid. Needle snapped right into place. The little things count! Thank you again. 🙏🙏🙏

  • @1911olympic

    The best sewing machine for beginners is not a throw away machine like the one shown, but a vintage machine. Only idiots cannot solve the problems with them. They last a life time, are extremely strong. The problem is, that they are so good, that they will last much longer than you live. And that is a problem. For the sellers of new machines. Who pay people to make videos like this. If you want far superior quality, simplicity, beautiful stitches, upper and bottom tension that can be reached, cleaned and really adjusted and don't cost you an arm and a leg (say 50 dollar), buy a vintage machine. Beginning of the sixties will do fine. Kenmore, Singer, Elna, Bernina, and many more: they are all perfect.

    Wow, I wish all product reviews on RUclips were this clear and thorough! I've been wanting to break into the sewing world (nothing fancy, just think I'd enjoy knocking some clothes together out of old scrap material). However, every attempt I've made on my mother's older 30 y.o. machine has ended in frustration. I've decided I need to invest in something super duper basic (and hopefully idiot-proof). Thank you so much for the helpful video!
