Brother Innov-is NS80E Sewing Machine

How exciting, after 35 years on my old machine, to have a beautiful brand new sewing machine. I was a little hesitant to learn something new! It sews so beautifully and I love the self threading feature. I don't like having to reset the stitch each time I turn the machine off and am struggling to find the correct 5/8” seam allowance. I'm sure I just need to experiment and read further.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am beyond excited for this sewing machine! I make a lot of baby blankets, bump clothes, etc. and this is a huge upgrade to my previous sewing machine! To have 80 different stitches is just impressive! I am again excited to sew with the ease of this machine! Way to go, Brother for making such an impressive sewing machine!

I am very happy with my sewing machine. It has met my expectations and needs. I would recommend this machine to anyone. I have been sewing on another brand for about 40 years and was very happy with it. I had to replace it and went to a dealer who sold that machine and the Brother brand machine. I was not willing to pay the price of the other machine. The demonstrator introduced me to the Brother machine and I found it so easy to use and got more than I expected for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Expressing my joy at using this sewing machine is hard to put into words. I learned to sew on a treadle sewing machine, (Non-electric) for those of you who don't know. So this machine is pure joy and practically runs itself!!! Definitely user-friendly and fun to learn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I have only used mechanical sewing machines. I was concerned that it would be overwhelming operating a computerized machine. The manual was so informative with stepping me through the process. I had so much fun trying out all the stitches. The stitches are so precise. I especially like the overlock stitch I no longer have to use two machines a sewing machine and a serger. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a computerized sewing machine, there is no need to use the foot controller all the time. It depends on what you want to sew. There are three adjustable speeds with a speed controller. You can choose from 80 stitches including decorative stitches, satin stitches and cross-stitch stitches. However, there are no character stitches. The machine has a built-in thread cutter. A LCD displays the presser foot to use, the stitch number, the needle position setting (with one or two needles), the stitch length, and the stitch width. Seven foot pressers are included. The thread tension can be easily adjusted for different types of fabric. It is fairly light, so easy to transport or move around. I am not a professional seamstress, so I can only use the machine to sew basic things and this sewing machine is fantastic. With time, I will learn to do more things because there are so many options and functions. I wish there were character stiches so I can sew names.

I love my machine. I have had it for over a year, and it does a great job. I have had dificulties with bumping the stitch pattern selection dial and it changing stitches. I have bumped it with my arm and with top sitting my quilt. I wish it had a locking feature. Is there a way to have the needle end in an up position and not down?

So far I like it. Haven't used it every day. I am still getting used to it and learning

Other than being a little on the noisier side, this sewing machine has been perfect for my paper piecing class. I also love the 1/4" foot! It is so accurate! I purchased this machine to use when I go to quilt classes and so far, it has been exactly what I was looking for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine definitely made me make EVERYTHING!!! its user friendly and almost runs by itself! Its very light weight and easy to store. Beginner "sewer" friendly. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can create on this beauty!! Let the fun begin
