Such a fantastic machine it was between the Elna 580EX and the Brother F420 and I love the choice I made Margot from #SewCallIt assisted with such enthusiasm and her execution in my first free lesson was wonderful she has so much patients.
The F420 is exceptionally easy to use and I just love the Stop Start feature, initially I was scared of the thought of not using a pedal but after one class I am loving it.
The stitches are fantastic I use it on my quilts and on my daughter's dresses, it looks wonderful in Colourful embroidery thread.
All the necessary accessories come with the machine, you will not go wrong with the F420.

By far THE BEST and most efficient service received EVER while shopping for a new sewing machine. #WarrenHB from #brotherelite was Exceptional, from order being placed, to updates for delivery, and a personal walk through of my new Brother Innovis F420 sewing machine. I had a brother before and loved it, but the new upgrade is fabulous. Loving all the fantastic features and stitches and… oh my word, I can rant about how wonderful it is till the cows come home. It’s quite and sturdy and real value for money. Before you buy anything else, I urge you to test drive the Brother range of sewing and quilting machines first. JUST BRILLIANT. Excellent product!
