Seven reasons to treat yourself to the new Brother A-series

It’s OK stitchers, we understand your struggle! It’s difficult to find a machine that’s reliable and helps us reach our full creative potential. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce you to the latest Brother A-series! It includes four brand-new Innov-is machines: A16, A50, A80 and A150, and each one is just as brilliant as the next. So, if you’re looking to beat the January blues by spoiling yourself, then here are seven reasons why you’d be totally bonkers not to purchase one of these models!

Fuss Free

There may not be a machine that can complete the tricky bits of sewing for us, but there are some that can make stitching a bit easier. Each model in the new series has user-friendly functions, such as jog dials and electronic touchpads, which provide ultimate control over stitch functions to make sewing simpler.

Super speedy

Slow stitching is brilliant, except when you need to start and finish a dress in the same day! The A-series has every tool you need to speed up the creative process, including automatic needle threaders and easy-to-follow threading guides.

Quick set bobbins

Travel lightly

The new Brother machines are lightweight and portable so you can create on-the-go at workshops or a friend's house; some models even come with a hard-cover case to prevent your machine from getting nasty scratches.

The Innov-is includes a whole host of vital features, such as the needle stop position which lets you select where the needle finishes, and its pivot function is incredibly useful when turning material, sewing corners and joining quilt pieces.
