I have this machine and I love it. Increasing stitch length can be beneficial when sewing multiple layers. I am a beginner and have made a quilt, lots of bags, and cushion covers so far. Great little work horse 😁
There is a little black switch at the back of the presser foot that you push in that levels out the presser foot to sew thicker fabrics which works well, I have this machine and as a new ish sewer an not having the same issues as you are with the fabric going off to the left. I recently sewed a 3d face mask and the stitching is straight and that has interfacing too
Dust covers are very important to protect your machine from general airborne grime around the home. The offset shank on the twin needle is for use on a left position zig-zag machine. The other problems you encountered were due to operator failure, not the machine.
I'm not sure the operator is at fault here - these machines are consistently poor - have you ever opened one to see the quality of the machine - dreadful.
5 buttonholes, I loved it when you lost the screw and the plot too, sewing is a wonderful thing till something goes amiss then it's a complete pain.I subscribed a few weeks ago so working my way through your playlists an absolute mine of tips and information a BIG thankyou.
Brilliant video! Thank you so much, I literally had this machine in my Amazon basket but it wouldn’t have been any good for my use after seeing your video. I do a lot of crafting and make padded fabric journal covers so this definitely wouldn’t have had the power I would need. I haven’t used a sewing machine before and can’t afford to spend hundreds, can you suggest a good machine please? I don’t do quilting or anything like that, would just like a nice variety of stitches. Thank you very much 😊🙏🏻
There are five button holes, I used to have one of these machines and it sewed up loads of different outfits for me, but could have a mind of it’s own at times, thankfully we’ve moved onto a bigger and better one now
5 button holes. I have the Brother SE 600 it's not too bad but you need to have a few tricks up your sleeve. For fine fabrics use a smaller needle and place tape over the throat plate as the hole is to big as you saw it sucked in the fabric stabiliser also helps. These machines are not for heavy duty sewing and the computer is very finicky. On heavy fabrics I lengthen my stitches use a size 16 needle lower the tension slow down the sewing speed and use a hump jump over thick seams. I'm still practicing and learning to have patience.😊👍👍
I believe it is a one step / 5 buttonholes machine...I love the twin needle option! If I win, and you are doing UK only, I will pass this forward to my BFF in Berkshire, UK. thank you, Jan
There are 5 buttonholes on this Brother FS40. But I’m so glad I’m getting the Necchi you’ve been using recently and not this one! I had been looking at Brother machines too until I saw your review of the Necchi x
Thank you for reviewing this machine. I was looking to purchase this but now having doubts. Would someone please recommend a good machine for a beginner in the UK please ?
I'm surprised that this machine strugling so much. It was one of my choices when I was upgrading my janome. Instead I bought innovis n-15 which is only 2w more powerful and never have problem with sewing straight unlike my old Janome (85w). It's realy hard to find out how powerfull is machine before you buy it but many computerised new janome models have even lower power input. Great informative video like every of yours.
The machine has five different buttonhole options. I have this machine, so I loved watching you. I have lost the screw a couple of times, so I rub my tube turner on a magnet, it usually manages to find it lol
5 button holes. The LS14 is the same for veering.. You gave me some advice on it last year Abi, so it must be a Brother thing, even though my old Jones machine doesn't do it.
Hello, I'm about to purchase my first sewing machine, I was looking at this as it has an automatic needle threader. But It doesn't appear to be powerful. Can you reccomend a beginner model that will suit dressmaking in future & little projects please, I'd rather pay mid range than buy twice. This is £235. But I don't know where to begin. I've sight issues so assume an automatic needle threader would be easier for me. Thank uou
I would NEVER buy a brother sewing machine again and certainly won’t recommend them as beginner machines. They have no power and there is a lot of plastic inside, rendering them useless when anything fails on them. Look at the Hobbycraft janome machine or a Necchi for that price point but for a decent machine, consider Juki
@Abi's Den thank you. I've looked through some of your videos. I'm sight impaired, use a white cane lol will you tell me which one to get please? Light & automatic needle threader. I've looked at the brands but am still none the wiser! I will happily take your recommendation & won't moan if something goes wrong lol
Aw. It’s so hard to recommend one, but I would happily buy the Janome from hobbycraft. You have the support from @hobbycraft if anything goes wrong and I have made a couple of videos. It’s a good buy and I’m sure it’ll be easy enough to use. If you buy online, you always have a two week return cool off period with any company if you don’t get on with it x Good luck
The FS40 you show in this video has 5 buttonholes. Hope you found that screw and got the machine sorted. I was wondering whether the machine has adjustable pressure as that seems to be a factor in using different fabrics?
It’s a great question. Unfortunately these models don’t have a presser foot 🦶 pressure dial. I was playing chauffeur today so I kept running off to do family things.
Hi Abi, there are five different button holes on the brother FS-40, I’m really glad I found your channel when I got my first machine a couple of months ago, I’m learning sew much from your videos but having two little ones running around I don’t get much time to use it in peace, x
There are 5 buttonholes on this machine. I have this machine and I always thought I was just a bit rubbish at sewing when it would skip stitches and go off to the left lol
Hi Abi , I’ve lost my needle down the hole before now and have never thought of covering it with a piece of material ! On your machine there were 5 different buttonhole options .
Hi Abi, there are 5 button holes on the brother FS40. Unfortunately I do not own a brother machine yet. Hopefully one day. Your videos are always informative for a newbie like me.
5 buttonholes! While I was watching I went to check my brother machine and it's only 42W! It's powered through some tough stuff in the years I've had it. It's served me well... even if it does veer to the left a bit! ;)
Every time you do one of these unboxing videos I’m so happy I went with the Necchi! I’m sure there are other good machines out there, but mine was such good value and has been brilliant so far. Oh there are 5 different buttonhole styles on the brother machine you unboxed x
@@toilworn1322 I’ve had it now for over 2 years and I’ve been very happy with it. Good points are the drop in bobbin, needle threaded, needle up/ needle down, range of stitches and easy to use. I’ve sewed loads on it, cotton, viscose, jersey, sweatshirt, cord, wool and it’s been great to develop my skills. A couple of things that could be better are the fact it doesn’t have a speed control, the lighting - I bought a stick on strip light from Amazon which improved it, button holes on stretch can be tricky, and it can struggle on thick fabric or thick seams. I now know what I’m looking for on my forever machine, but I will be paying 10x the price of the Necchi to get them! So overall a fantastic, value for money machine, which I highly recommend. Hope that helps x
@@maggiemcdonald1346 Thanks so much that's so useful! I noticed it didn't have a speed control button. I guess careful footwork is required! Does it do a stretch stitch? I am new to sewing so might be getting a bit ahead of myself here but just thinking about the types of things I might want to make.
@@toilworn1322 yes you just have to be extra careful going around corners, although if I want to do something really slowly, say turning a corner I press the up/ down needle button so it does one stitch at a time. Yes it does have a stretch stitch and a stretch stitch button hole too. However if you are sewing jersey you can use a zig zag stitch too. You can also use a twin needle for hems too. When I was starting I found RUclips a fantastic resource for learning how to sew different fabric and garments etc.
Hi Abi, there are 5 buttonhole on the brother you were reviewing. 5..!! Pity about the rest of it😱 I've got my Lidl silvercrest, it's basic but a wee workhorse. Been looking to upgrade, but...there's nothing wrong with mine, it's a great wee machine, I've got my Lidl Singer SO10L too, and thanks to all your tips and advice I'm slowly mastering it. Thanks for all your help, stay safe, stay sane! X
Hi, there are 5 different buttonholes. I found this vlog really informative as I’m currently borrowing my friends Brother FS100 and thought it was my lack of experience in sewing because the fabric kept veering to the left and it jammed up too. However, I have so loved using it compared to my clapped out broken Bush!
Hi Abi, the machine has 5 automatic buttonholes. I can see people who are new to sewing being disheartened and thinking their skills are at fault when it is a problem with the machine.
I wish I lived nearer Stockport where my son lives and then I could visit you and get some technical training. I would love to be able to service my machine and fix it. Like at the moment I think there is something wrong with the feed dogs as the feed is terrible, even with the walking foot and when sewing jersey it always gets eaten. I wouldn’t mind but I have a Janome 8900 and for the money they cost I would expect a lot better. I have had it a few years and it gets heavy use but it is very frustrating. Do you ever have to replace feed dogs in machines? Also I have been searching the Internet to find out the power but it doesn’t seem to be very clear anywhere. I will have a look at my machine tomorrow. The answer to today’s question is 5 buttonholes.
@@AbisDen yes they do. After sewing for over 60 years and having had only 2 machines I wanted the wide throat space so I could make some quilts and Janome seemed to be the best. It didn’t fail in that department but I see the smaller, less expensive machines you review which seem very gutsy and do a good job.
11:15 "the peddle doesn't give me good control" It's sounding to me like you just have a lead foot.. It's not an "ALL or NOTHING" deal, if you push down partal way it will go slower. It's quite variable actually. It sounds like when people try to use their "clutch" foot on the brake peddle while driving, you end up slamming on the brakes far too hard..
Thanks for your thoughts Colin. The peddle on this machine does not give good control. Having worked with Brother for years, I have come across their different peddles. Some of their machines they class as disposal, this being one of them. This machine has a poorly made foot. But thank you for your thoughts.
@@AbisDen I literally used this paddle on the FS40 less than 4 minutes ago.. There are about 7 different levels of control on the peddle. You seemed to use it in two different levels NO peddle and FULL peddle, there was nothing in-between. Either you have a defective peddle, or they have changed the design of the peddle. I see the video is 2 years old, we have had the FS40 for about 9 years, so maybe they changed it.. But, if they hadn't, it would seem you are unable to smoothly operate the peddle. Practice may help with this, though this was the first time I used used my wife's sewing machine in about 4 years, and was able to find the correct pressure on the first step.. If you are a car driver, I would suggest you try your right foot..
Thanks Colin. Maybe it is defective? I originally bought the machine from the states before they were sold in the uk.I’ve had a few FS models. It’s not a good machine. Having repaired a few, they just aren’t designed for longevity. Brother sell a lot of plastic rubbish. What they themselves class as “disposable”. The FS range is unfortunately one of them.
Hi Abi, there are five different buttonholes, i was going to say was a bargain as my Janome cost a lot more with 50 different stitches, but, yeah it’s not worth wasting money on a machine that seems to be straining to stitch straight. Thanks for showing us this review 👍 fingers and toes crossed for the competition!
There is 5 different button holes with the machine Abi 🤞🏻I’m so glad up you put it to test with sewing multiple layers and different fabric types as that shows how frustrating choosing the wrong machine is and that’s it definitely worth doing your research before buying. I’ve seen these issues a lot with brother machines. So I stick to Bernina or Singer mechanical machines over the plastic computerised machines, they really have the best stitch quality and are much more durable over time.
Hi Abi - There are 5 buttonholes that come with this machine - It is almost 10pm here and this has just made me want to make sure my machine is not 40 watts.
Hi Abi, the machine has 5 types of buttonholes. Thank you so much for your amazing and useful videos! I am a beginner and I bought this machine a couple of days ago. It was sad to see the problems the machine had during this video. Let's see what happens with mine during my learning journey. Greetings from London!
This machine has 5 buttonholes. I loved the way you pushed it away when you lost the plot I was thinking the same thing. Lol Neither of my mechanical brothers hold the fabric straight while stitching and I thought it was just me. Now I can see I’m not going mad thank you 🙏🤣🤣. Do the more expensive brothers work any better? Xx
@@AbisDen wow thank you so much for your kindness I was almost going to buy butterfly JH-8190S Please can you recommend a machine I can buy I need a machine seriously?please
Hello Abi, great honest review. Never thought of changing my needle size when dealing with multiple layers 🤦♀️. In answer to your question there's 5 buttonhole stitches on the machine. Xx
Hi Abi. There were 5 button holes on that machine. Have to give it to you, you had more patience with it than I would have as it would have gone out the window before it jammed 🤣 Thanks for such a brilliant channel. X

Hello
Is this the same FS40s or FS40x?
And if both has light in the LCD screen?
Thanx
There are 5 buttonholes.
I have a brother bc2100 which also tracks to the left.I have found moving the needle to the right helps.
Abi there are 5 types of button holes on the brother machine
Hi I noticed you don’t have the led light on while you’re sewing. Did you switch it off? Because I can’t find a way to switch mine off.
The FS-40 has five buttonholes. I’m well impressed with you unwinding both screws at once after the jam 😊
FS 40 has 5 tipes of one step button holes. I absolutely love Brother Machines.
Hi do you know if you can do lettering with this machine ? I'm just about to purchase
Don’t!!!! Buy something else and save your tears! This is the crappiest machine on the planet - next to those little mini ones. Go for something else

There is 5 different button holes with the machine Abi 🤞🏻I’m so glad up you put it to test with sewing multiple layers and different fabric types as that shows how frustrating choosing the wrong machine is and that’s it definitely worth doing your research before buying. I’ve seen these issues a lot with brother machines. So I stick to Bernina or Singer mechanical machines over the plastic computerised machines, they really have the best stitch quality and are much more durable over time.
Hi Abi - There are 5 buttonholes that come with this machine - It is almost 10pm here and this has just made me want to make sure my machine is not 40 watts.
Hi Abi, the machine has 5 types of buttonholes. Thank you so much for your amazing and useful videos! I am a beginner and I bought this machine a couple of days ago. It was sad to see the problems the machine had during this video. Let's see what happens with mine during my learning journey. Greetings from London!
5 different types of buttonholes , lovely machine x
This machine has 5 buttonholes. I loved the way you pushed it away when you lost the plot I was thinking the same thing. Lol Neither of my mechanical brothers hold the fabric straight while stitching and I thought it was just me. Now I can see I’m not going mad thank you 🙏🤣🤣. Do the more expensive brothers work any better? Xx
