Take the loose end of the thread and bring it under the thread guide labeled number one on the top of the machine.

A small but neat feature is the machine's fold down lid that protects the bobbin and mechanism while in use, it's the kind of design touch more costly machines offer but at this price it's another sign of excellent value for money because this kind of protection will ensure the machine will last. Brother Innov-is F420 review: should you buy one? The ultra bright LED lighting gives a crisp bright natural light, so you can see colours and stitch details, no matter what your lighting conditions.

Reverse Stitch Button Reliability, I love using the Brother Innovis sewing machines, from the Innovis 15 to the 1E and anywhere in between. But it’s not just me, My other half (also known as “she who must be obeyed”) voluntarily runs a sewing club here and teaches complete beginners how to use sewing machines. Her choice is also the Innovis Range, from teaching garment construction, to the difference in needles and their effects on different types of fabrics. The reason why she chooses this sewing machine over hundreds of others is consistency. Every NV15 out of the box is exactly the same high quality as the other; there is no variable just perfect stitching every time. One dial stitch selection is easy to master from the first time you use this machine you will be impressed at how easy it is to use this machine. There are simple features in this machine that make it an excellent starter machine. The needle up/needle down button ensures the needle always stops in or out of the material which ever you like, this is great for pivoting when doing intricate work and quilting, also this can be used to help hold the fabric in place when you are doing bigger jobs like curtains, or seams in trousers or jeans when you need to do a bit of shifting around.

Is the Brother Innovis NV1800Q just for quilters, or can everyone enjoy this larger sewing machine?

To insert the bobbin remove the case and ensure the thread is coming down the left hand side of the bobbin. I like to remember this by thinking it should create a letter 'P'.
