[Bill]

My mums getting my Uten 2685a and in its place will be a shiny new Brother Innovis A150!!!
Seeeeeeeeeew exited!

You are going to absolutely love the needle threader. Brother packs a lot of features into these mid range machines. I just adore my se-400

[Bill]

It's the lock stitch and scissor functions I'm looking forward to. And it's got a bicycle stitch! How cool is that?!

[Bodgeitandscarper]

A bicycle stitch?  Now I am envious!

[Celia]

Looks like a nice machine, have fun.

[Ohsewsimple]

These are nice machines.  The needle threader on this one is really good and scissors are sooooo handy.  Lots of decorative stitches.  So much to play with.  Enjoy! 

[Gernella]

Very nice and mum is getting the other one, very generous, a man who doesn't stockpile, like some of us.

[Bill]

She's decided she doesn't want it after all. Ah well.

[William]

Congrats for the Innovis - was able to use one of these for a while and they are great machines!
I was impressed particularly by the stitch quality.

Many happy stitches!!!

[Sara-S]

Enjoy the new machine! BTW, what is a bicycle stitch?

I don't have a Brother machine, what is different about the needle threader?

@Lilian my Brother is my only machine with a threader so I can't make a comparison. Brother has a couple of threader styles. This Innovis is the same as my machine. It has super easy lay in threading. After all the upper parts, pressure disks, etc there's a place you pull the thread into then across the left side to a cutter. Push a small lever down and you're done. I can do it all one handed and without my glasses in just a couple of seconds. Here's a link to that machine with a couple of pictures of it.
