Had my A150 for 4 months now. What a beautiful machine. Everything I sew now is more enjoyable. For the first time in over 50 years of sewing I am not afraid to try something new every day. Twin needle, applique, quilting, monograms. I am in love 🥰
Fantastic tutorial - just bought the A150 and with your clear instructions in this demo I was able to get straight into sewing. Really, really helpful - thank you!
I've watched dozens of videos today trying to decide what to buy, and yours is by far and away the best I've seen so far. Very clear and straightforward. Sorry I can't buy from you as I'm in Tenerife!
Thank you. I’ve just got my A60 out of the box - so excited! The enclosed instruction booklet is helpful but your demos and overview helped me enormously because watching you helped make sense of the diagrams.
I just purchased this machine Brother Innovis A150 based on your recommendation because I was in awe of the trimming function. Also, did not expect how incredibly quiet it is compared to my previous machine Brother JS1410. Love to hear more from you, Gary.
Wow! This is exactly the information we needed and you made everything clear! Thank you very much, Gary. Thanks to this video we know what we would like to buy :)
Thank you Gary for this "foreign user friendly introduction". I understood a lot more than I thought before, your English is nice and good to understand (set the speed to 0.75 when you are not a native speaker like me). Your presentation of the A16 gave me the feeling that I did the right thing when I bought the A16 two days ago. By the way, it is interesting how much cheaper the A16 is in Australia than in Germany. Your actual price is $459 (AUS ?) and ours is $584 AUS$
My ancient sewing machine runs on coal and as coal is expensive need new technology that runs on that fancy electricity . I am gratefully being educated Your website is fabulous . Got my eye on a Brother looks great value. Thanks Rusty Rooster Chook keeper and sewing fanatic
Excellent video thank you! I think I’m going to go for the A150 as someone who used to do quite a lot a long time ago but my current sewing machine is 45 years old and I always had trouble with it!
I’ve had the previous version of the A16 (the NS10) for 8 years, (was my first sewing machine tho I now have 9 lol)… but I still love mine. Brother’s love cheap thread and I can drive it freemotion and it acts like it’s an embroidery machine worth thousands even tho it’s just a basic girl. It’s not strong enuf for vinyl which is the only reason I upgraded to other all-metal machines but for everything else, she’s a pearler!
Thank you so much! After watching this video I feel inspired to sew, with a few really good tips that I didn't event expect to learn! (plus, I know which machine I want to buy)
Hi Gary, thanks for this tutorial, I've just purchased the Innov-is A80, and as I was unable to try before I bought, I was unsure if it was the right machine for me (I was considering the Singer Heavy Duty 4423), but decided on the Brother. Your in-depth RUclips video has given me confidence in the machine. with thanks, Cherie.
@@vivlee3840 - thanks Viv Lee, using machine more now, & gaining confidence. Almost finished a dress, first garment I've sewn in over 20 years. Happy with what this machine can do!
This video really helped me decide which model to buy as there aren't any stores in my area and I can only purchase online. The A80 "soft dial" seems like a downgrade from the A50's detented dial. Wouldn't the soft dial be too easy to knock accidentally?
Hii thank you so much for reviewing this. I have a plan to buy nv180d, but I’m really confuse because everyone reviewing only the embroidery. Is this video mean the A type is the same with nv180d for the sewing.. but the nv180d have the embroidery one¿ ¿ so I can use nv180d for making dresses, shirt, skirt etc… please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks have a great dayyy
Hi Tony, the NV180D has the sewing equivalent to the A150 plus it also embroiders. It is a combination machine. You can sew and embroider which makes it very versatile! :)
I bought a80 it’s more useful and easy .love it and really high quality machine but I was wishing to have thread cutter and it will be the best machine
@soniaobi-okodo395 Due to this product not being available in Australia we are unable to do a comparison. The A series is very popular for our customers though!
Thank you for the helpful information. Does this series have a pressure adjuster? If not, which series should I look at for pressure foot adjuster? TIA!
Hi . I am planning on buying A150. I have a doubt, can we adjust sewing speed in foot pedal ??? Like if we give less pressure low speed and high pressure high speed
@thetamilpaleo1429 Hi there, there is a speed control slider on the front of the machine which you can set to a certain speed and when you press your foot control it won't go faster than what you set it at. Or you can set it to the highest speed and then use your foot to determine how fast or slow the machine goes.
Great video and very well detailed thanks a lot. My current budget for my first sewing machine (I am a complete beginner) is below the price range for these. I have done quite a lot of research today and still cannot decide between the Brother FS40 and the Brother Innov-is 15 :(. Is this something you could help with? Thank you !!
Hello sir! Can you please let me know which is a better machine to buy fs155 or innov is a150 and kindly mention the differences if any apart from the trimming function and larger lcd panel. Thank you.
Hello! Of the two machines you mention the A150 is the standout option, plus the FS155 is now a retired model and no longer available. Here is a link to our website with full details on the A150 www.echidnasewing.com.au/brother-innov-is-a150-computerized-sewing-machine
hi ,thank you for the video . which one of these machines good for patchwork and quilting?. can we adjust the needle for 1/4 seam allowance on innov 150? thank you
Hi you can look at the products that are available for you on this site: www.brother.co.id/id-id/products/all-sewing-machines/sewing-machine Hope this helps :)
Hi there, the A80 selects the stitches using a simple dial and it also has a slightly wider throat area than the FS80X. Hope this answers your question :)
Bonsoirs, Merci de bien vouloir faire une vidéo sur la 1300 de chez Brother ce serait fantastique .j’apprends pleins de choses avec vos vidéos. Cordialement
Bonjour,pourriez vous faire une vidéo sur la 1300 de chez Brother,je voudrai avoir plus d’information avant de faire éventuellement un achat.Merci à vous.Bien cordialement.

@thetamilpaleo1429 Hi there, there a few differences. The bed of the F420 is larger, the throat area is an inch bigger, the amount of stitches are higher, it comes with a knee-lift and has a higher throat area. They are the main difference between the two. Did you have any further questions?

It is a great machine! Does your local sewing machine store offer layby?
Hi great tutorial, do all of the A series work with both light and heavy fabrics, thank you
Yes, absolutely - you would just change the needle say to Denim or leather if using these types of textiles!
This video really helped me decide which model to buy as there aren't any stores in my area and I can only purchase online. The A80 "soft dial" seems like a downgrade from the A50's detented dial. Wouldn't the soft dial be too easy to knock accidentally?
