 | The Brother RL417 is our lowest priced sewing machine – perfect for getting creative and exploring your own individual style. The RL417 is a traditional metal chassis sewing machine from Brother, designed for basic dressmaking, repairs and alterations. The lightweight but sturdy Brother RL417 sewing machine has an easy to use single dial stitch selector with a choice of 8 true stitches for both utility and decorative sewing - straight, zig zag, blind hem, darning/mending, shell tuck, scallop, double action and bridging stitches. Plus an automatic 4-step buttonholer. The Brother RL417 has the convenient top-loading bobbin mechanism which not only takes the hassle out of bobbin changing, but is smooth and quiet (even at full speed) and is far more reliable when sewing heavy and more extreme fabrics compared to similarly priced front loading bobbin machines. This versatile Brother sewing machine has a reverse function for securing the ends of your seams and an easy flat bed / FREE arm conversion for trouser hems and other difficult to reach areas. The Brother RL417 sewing machine comes with a step-by-step instruction book and DVD. Useful info:

Comments about Brother RL417 Sewing Machine:
I am now disabled from illness and needed something to replace gardening as a major hobby - so I decided to take up making my own clothes !. Being a man with a decent grasp of spatial perception and an eye for detail (Engineer) I reckoned I'd do okay but with no wife around any more -no one to seek advice from - Sooooo I bought this machine on the recommendation of other ISME reviewers and Frankly I have got the best machine for the complete beginner - the basic instruction on the DVD supplied was all that I needed to get going and trawling the Net has given me lots of inspiration -can't fault the machine [...]Thank You
