£399.00

A lovely little machine to operate, with one of the best needle threaders you’ll find at this price. If threading a needle is the bit you dread, this one solves it.

  • Free UK delivery
  • Official dealer, full manufacturer warranty

One action needle threader

The best part of this machine. One lever, thread through, and you are sewing.

Speed control slider

Set the top speed before you start, which takes the nerves out of a long straight seam.

Lock stitch button

One press ties the stitch off, instead of reversing back over your last three stitches.

Free UK Delivery

On all machines

Official Dealer

Approved by Brother, Janome, Bernina and more

Full in house servicing available

By our own engineers in King's Lynn

When you’re first starting out, you want things to go smoothly – enter the Brother Innov-is A16 Sewing Machine. This model is great for making sewing simpler. Its fuss-free features, such as its 1-step needle threader, quick set drop in bobbin and slide speed control all help make your craftwork easier. Plus, its needle up/down button is ideal for pivoting corners.

This machine’s electronic jog dial also allows you to select each of its 16 pre-set stitches with ease, while its automatic threading system takes the hassle out of an ordinarily frustrating task. And when it comes to the fabrics it can deal with, its smooth, strong feed system and extra needle offer penetration and power to tackle multiple layers and even heavier fabrics such as denim.

Sewing machines aren’t always designed with the needs of the aspiring sewer in mind. But with the Brother Innov-is A16, we’ve created the perfect machine to learn your craft on. Easy to use? Absolutely. Fewer features as a result? Absolutely not.

Called in today having bought a 2nd hand Janome machine on ebay for an elderly relative. It was described as pretty much unused and had been sitting in a cupboard for 20 years, and it matched the description on arrival. I just wanted it checked over before giving it to its new owner, expecting to leave it for a week or so. Instead the manager of this shop asked to have a look at it, spent maybe 10 minutes looking it over and giving it a trial run stitching and confirmed its condition. We chose some cotton to go with the machine which was all we were charged for. He could not have been more helpful, obliging, personable & informative and the place itself has a quiet air of professionalism and expertise. Many thanks; recommended.

Couldn’t be more helpful, I have rung and visited the shop and have been met with such helpful accommodating people each time. Couldn’t recommend them enough. I was taught how to thread and sort my machine out after I was struggling with it even when I hadn’t purchased from them directly. Cannot fault these people
