I bought my F420 2 years ago, just after I commented on your video. What a joy it is to sew on it! I am pleasantly surprised by all its features.
I am so happy to hear this.
It is a lovely machine!

My Brother Inovis F420 arrived this afternoon. I already played with it. I had the Bernette B38, but I have to say, the Brother F420 triumphs. Furthermore, I am going to sell the Bernette B38, I never got in with that machine. It is such a different to sew with the Brother Inovis F420, so much nicer. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it is very helpful.

@@SewandCraftStep-by-Step I will be watching them. There are so many functions on the F420, so your tutorials will be so helpful. I love sewing with this machine.
@@PetraRobinson-gm8nh You are so right - there are amazing extra features, and often owner of machines will use them for years without knowing that some fantastic features exist. This is why I make the video lessons that show all of the features and how to use them - just so machine owners don't miss a thing... 😍
@@SewandCraftStep-by-Step I will do this next month and already so looking forward to it. Thank you for making those lessons for us :)
@PetraRobinson-gm8nh you are so welcome, I just love spreading the word that sewing and crafting are FUN! 🤩

Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
Hello. Thank you very much for such a useful video. I could not find this music with this name, and if possible, tell me where I can find it.
Hi Nia,
You are welcome!
I will be posting more videos like this soon, and also doing other short courses on my new website. (Link below)
The music is from bensound.com and the track is perception. 😀
Have a great day.

Hi. Do you need to change the needle when sewing leather or Faux leather? Or does the machine just automatically adjust the tension?
Hi Jasmine,
Yes you do need to match the needle to the fabric.
With Faux leather you can use a Universal needle if it is firm faux leather - but I woud use a Microtex needle for a soft Faux Leather.
With genuine leather, you need a Leather needle, as it has a blade that slits the fabric for easy needle penetration - and hence NO SKIPPED stitches.
Use this needle only on genuine leather - as it will cut and damage other fabric.
The Auto tension only detects the thickness of the fabric and adjusts tension for that - but the needle must definitely be matched to the fabric.
Here is a link to my FREE E-book on Sewing Machine Needles.

Have a great day - and happy sewing!

How does this sewing machine compare with the FS210? I’m swaying between the 2 but finding it hard to figure out which one has more functions.
Hi Claire,
The FS210 is not imported into my country, but if you go onto the Brother Solutions center website in your country, you will be able to download a brochure and then do a complete comparison for yourself.
The main difference that I can see is that:
The F420 is a more advanced machine with AUTO tension, which means that you do not have to adjust tensions to suit the fabric you are working on.
It has more features that can be automated.
It has a facility to save your favourite settings. This is tremendously useful.
All in all - in my opinion - if budget is not a consideration, and you are planning to do more advanced sewing projects, the F420 is a more advanced machine, and the one I would prefer to buy.
I hope this is helpful.

Brother Innovis F420 vs a150 Sewing Machine which one is better?
Hi Michael, they are both very good machines.
The F420 has more features, a slightly larger workspace, an organizer in its accessory tray, a knee lifter and features the Square Feed Drive system.
Because of this it will cost more.
Depending on what you are going to be sewing mostly will determine which machine will suit your needs best.
If you are still unsure, please pop me a mail at info@sewandcraftstepbystep.com and I can advise.
Have a great day!
Kind Regards,
Sherine Haines
Hi.. which is best in quality ??? A150 or F420 ??
Hi,
Thanks for the question.
As far as quality goes - they are both great quality.
The F420 has a slightly larger work area, and more features than the A150.
The fact that the F420 has more features is the reason that it will cost more.
If you are going to be sewing larger items more frequently then the larger work area is also a great feature.
I hope this is helpful.
Please feel free to fill in the pop up box on my website where I share more information that might be of interest to you too.

What are the differences between the A150 and the F420 beside a few extra stitch choices.
Hi Kim, thanks for the question.
The main differences between the A150 and F420 are as follows:
The A150 has 150 built in stitches and the F420 has 180.
The A150 has 4 lettering styles - the F420 has 5.
The A150 has a clip on stitch guide plate that fits onto the carry handle of the machine. The F420 has a lift up front cover with the stitch selection displayed inside the cover.
The A150 can stitch forward and backwards - the F420 can stitch forward, backwards and to the left and right too. Decorative stitches can therefore be staggered on the F420 instead of being stitched in a straight row as on the A150.
The F420 has the MY CUSTOM STITCH function - so you can create your own unique stitch patterns using this function. The A150 does not have this.
The F420 has an organiser tray inside the storage compartment on the accessory tray which stores the feet. The A150 only has the storage compartment without the tray.
The F420 has a Knee Lifter - ideal for when you want to keep both hands on the fabric while the presser foot is lifted to change sewing direction - ideal for quilting and working on larger projects. The A150 does not have a knee lifter.
I supply step-by step training videos that I have made with all of the machines I sell - which covers every aspect of each machine.
If you would like brochures for both machines, please visit my website at www.sewandcraftstepbystep.com
I hope this is helpful.

What is the equivalent model of this in the US, I love this machine but it's not listed on Brother's US site
Hi Jenna,
I have just bee onto the Brother USA website, and I see the FS700 is the equivalent.
You can however also download the brochure from their website too - so that you can double check.😀

@@SewandCraftStep-by-Step Thanks for your help and reply Sherine! I love all your videos and am already subscribed and am a big fan! I ended up getting an SE1900 and am having so much fun with it! It's like a spaceship compared to the 1970s machine my grandma had. Thanks again!!!
@@jehnabush16 Wonderful - you are welcome! So happy to hear you are enjoying your new machine.
Can you do a video of you making pot holders?
Hi Sheka,
Thanks for the question, it is appreciated.
I am actually in the process of setting up different groups for different interests on my Facebook page.
At the moment I already have a group for the Brother ScanNCut hints,tips and projects going - but will be adding a Sewing group soon and I will feature small sewing projects along with hints and tips on there too. I like your Potholder idea!
I taught physical sewing and craft classes for almost 24 years - and I had a course that had lots of little projects for the kitchen - and the potholder was one. 😊
So......please feel free to go to my main page and LIKE it - so that as I add new groups you will be notified.

I look forward to having you in some of my groups - so I can share the wonderful world of sewing and craft with you too!
Have a wonderful day.

Is this more superior than the A150?
Good morning. The F420 is the model above the A150 so it has more features than the A150. Brother have made different models, where as you go up in the range, extra features are added. This would also make them cost a little more. So, it is only more superior in that it has more features than the A150 - but they are all beautiful machines to work with and all of the basic features and functions are the same.
