Suitable for complete beginners, this retro-inspired machine is ideal for small dressmaking alterations and can tackle lightweight fabrics with ease. Stitches: The John Lewis Mini sewing machine features 10 stitch options. A twin needle can be used with this machine in the straight stitch function only. Unique features: A great introductory machine, the mini features a drop-in bobbin and free arm which is great for adjusting cuffs or trousers. It also has a double presser foot and push lever reverse for when you want to reinforce a stitch. Accessories included: This machine comes with a bobbin, needle, threader, AC adapter and foot switch. Please be aware: though our John Lewis Mini sewing machine is light, compact and great for sewing projects, only lightweight fabrics are advised. For beginner projects including cushions without a zip, buntings and similar, the Mini is ideal. For projects that involve curtain making, hemming jeans and sewing heavier fabrics, you may prefer our JL110 model which is fully equipped for the task.
