Brother FS70WTX Sewing and Quilting Machine, White

This is my first ever sewing machine and the only one I’ve ever used - and it’s been great!I’d done some very basic hand sewing here and there, but I recently decided to take up sewing as a hobby and invest in a sewing machine.I was initially overwhelmed by all the different options, but I went with Brother because they seem to have very nice budget computerised machines. There are definitely cheaper options out there, but this model offers some bells and whistles, such as automatic needle threading, speed control, a top-loading bobbin, a needle position button and a wide variety of stitches - none of these are essential but they’ve made the experience much more enjoyable. This machine also comes with quite a few accessories, which is a great.I found it very intuitive even for complete beginners. It’s also relatively light but feels robust enough thanks to the metal chassis.It’s worth noting that this is not a heavy duty machine - I’m not sure if it would be able to cope with a lot of layers or thicker fabrics, but it’s great for fat quarter projects and basic mending.Overall I’m very satisfied with it and I’d definitely recommend this machine to beginners such as myself.

Excellent machine. Very easy to use, quiet and looks very stylish.

Honestly I have been wanting a sewing machine for so long, and as soon as I received this I was not disappointing. The amount of stitch options are actually incredible. I don’t even know what I’ll use them all for but they’re so fun to do. I’ve tried all of them, and each option shows which presser foot to use. Changing the dimensions of your stitches is so easy and I’m just having a stupid amount of fun with it. I’ve never used a sewing machine in my life and it’s so so beginner friendly. I figured it out in a couple hours. It’s easy enough to carry, has a very handy handle and comes with a decent amount of accessories for its price point. SUPPPEERR happy :)

Bought this model because it has everything I wanted as functions. I do a lot of quilting and the free embroidery foot is great. Was difficult to pin down exactly what functions were available so you need to do due diligence. Am still getting used to it, but, after a couple of sewing projects, including some quilting freestyle, I am very pleased so far.

Wife is really happy with the sewing machine

My old machine is so heavy, I found I couldn’t use it any more - it is over 50 years old and still in brilliant working order. However, because of the weight, I decided to treat myself to another machine which is lighter. I have not regretted this. I did have an issue to begin with as I didn’t thread the bobbin case accurately - omitted a tiny area where the thread needed to be placed (beware!) and of course the stitches were rubbish. I knew it must be user issue and eventually figured it out. However, I must say that I love this machine. It is quiet and although lighter in weight than my old machine, this does not detract from the quality of the work produced. I have not used all the features yet (different stitches) but I must I do love the easy auto thread feature. Once you’ve mastered it, you’ll never go back to spending hours threading it the old way!!!! Thoroughly recommend.

A solid machine, I've had it for just over a year and I still love it. It has great variety of stitches, brilliant features like the auto threader and sewing button so you don't have to use the pedal. It was really easy to set up and thread. So far I've not had any major issues. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Decent product for sewing and quiltingGood choice of stitchesSeveral different feet and helpfully old machine’s feet also fitAdditional small quilting table extension is usefulAnd a decent amount of space inside the machine between needle and body when tucking up larger amounts of material on bigger projectsOverall impressedWHICH rating for manufacturer also pretty good for reliability.
