Brother LS14S Metal Chassis Sewing Machine Review
First released in January 2011, the LS14 is one of the most popular entry-level sewing machines available in the UK. It is a relatively small machine which really is excellent for beginners as it is easy to use. This model is a newer version of the Brother LS14.
The Brother LS14s is a full-size machine, built with easy to use mechanical features. It is also one of the cheapest machines out there, and is really good value for money.
The LS14S is a traditional metal chassis sewing machine with 14 stitches and including a 4 step button hole. Perfect for dress making and everyday household sewing.
The LS14S has a jam proof drop in bobbin which shows how much bobbin thread is left. The LED lighting system means that thread colours are not distorted

4-step buttonhole.
