Brother Innov-is A60 SE Sewing Machine Review

If you’re looking for an inexpensive sewing machine that offers a few extra features that a mechanical machine alone doesn’t...

You’ll want to pay attention to our next sewing machine: the Brother Innov-is A60SE Sewing Machine. Brother sewing machines are well-built and easy to maintain, making them great machines for anyone, no matter how often you sew or your skillset as a sewist.

This particular sewing machine is computerised, meaning that it will have a few more abilities than a basic mechanical sewing machine. You’ll have access to more stitches, especially decorative stitches, and more customisations. And the controls are very easy to navigate.

On the front of the machine is a jog dial stitch selection. All it takes it a simple twist of the knob to choose which stitch you want to use. And there are very easy to press buttons for other controls such as reverse, lock stitch, and a needle up/down control. There’s also a speed control slider to help you slow down or speed up your machine if you so wish to.

And the LCD screen provides you with helpful information, like which foot to use for which stitch. It’s a great tool for anyone who might be learning about the different stitches available on a sewing machine. Beginners will really appreciate this screen!

The Innov-is A60SE sewing machine boasts 60 unique stitches, including 6 1-step buttonholes and a small selection of decorative stitches. That’s a lot of work with, especially if you're sewing garments! You’ll have stretch-friendly stitches for knit fabrics and more! You’ll also be able to customise your stitches by length and width, where applicable. You’ll have a maximum of 7mm for stitch width.

This machine has a top loading bobbin, otherwise known as a quick-set bobbin. It’s easier for some to load into the machine, but the best part of this feature is that it allows you to maintain your sewing machines alot easier. You’ll be able to see into the machine to clean out any dust or lint, which is a sewing machine’s worst enemy, and pull out any thread jams before they can cause damage to your machine. That way, you’ll be able to save yourself from having to take your machine in to be fixed over the years. (Of course, you’ll still want to take it in for regular maintenance!).

The Brother Innov-is A60SE has a good amount of workspace, too! There is 6 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, but also an extra deep workspace so that your fabric is supported around the needle better than other sewing machines. There’s also a great light that illuminates your working area well so that you can avoid any mistakes.

This machine also comes with a hard case! Hard cases are great if you’re planning on traveling with this sewing machine or looking to store it when you’re not using it. Hard cases will protect your machine from dings and bumps as well as any dust!

The Brother Innov-is A60SE Sewing Machine is a great choice for anyone looking for an inexpensive sewing machine that has a good variety of features and stitches to work with. Beginners and more advanced sewists will love to work on this machine!
