Brother Innov-is A80 Sewing Machine Review

Brother sewing machines are some of the most widely known around the world.

That is because they manufacture high-quality machines that don’t cost as much as the other “luxury” brands. And the Brother Innov-is A80 Sewing Machine is no different. This sewing machine is moderately prices and hosts a fair amount of features that anyone who sits down to use it will appreciate.

This computerised sewing machine is perfect for developing skills as a beginner or intermediate sewist. Advanced sewists will appreciate it, too, especially if looking for a backup sewing machine or a machine that will be fit for traveling to classes or retreats regularly. It’s sturdy, useful, but not overwhelming.

The Brother Innov-is A80 has 80 unique stitches, including 8 1-step buttonholes. Having that many buttonholes is a great asset to any garment sewist or dressmaker. Different fabric types and garment types need different shapes and sizes of buttonholes as well as buttonholes with differently stitches edges. For example, you want to make sure that any piece of clothing that you’re creating with knit fabric has a buttonhole that allows the fabric to stretch, but not so much that the integrity of the buttonhole is compromised too quickly.

You won’t have trouble learning how to thread this machine, that’s for sure. It has a wonderful built-in needle threader that’s very easy to use. It also features a quick set, or top loading, bobbin that gives you better access to the insides of the machine. That means you’ll be able to clean and maintain it better throughout its lifetime. It also has a great bobbin winding system that helps you wind you bobbins quickly and efficiently!

We said it isn’t overwhelming to learn how to use. That’s because you’ll find user-friendly controls on the front of the machine. That’s including a speed slider control, needle up/down, reverse, etc buttons clearly marked right in front of you. And you can easily control which stitch you’re on by simply turning the job dial below the screen. You’ll find a map of your stitches right above it, too!

The workspace on this sewing machine is both well-lit and of a decent size to be able to work on moderately sized projects such as quilts and dresses. It has a bright LED sewing light to illuminate your workspace. No more sewing in shadows! And you’ll have a good 6 inches of workspace to the right of the needle.

With the Innov-is A80 sewing machine, you’ll get a hard case to protect your sewing machine. With a hard case, you’ll be protected against dust and dirt, but also any bumps and dings when traveling with your sewing machine or storing it in places such as under the bed or in the closet.
