Learn more about the Brother LX17
The LX17 is a traditional metal chassis sewing machine from Brother, perfect for basic dressmaking, repairs and alterations.
The lightweight but sturdy LX17 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 LX17 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.
Of course, the LX17 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.
With a traditional metal chassis, easy top loading bobbin and straight forward operation, you be assured that the LX17 is designed and built around the values that you know and expect from a Brother sewing machine.

What we love
As with all of the Brother machines in this range, the LX17 is a lightweight machine that lends itself well to most everyday tasks.
It is ideal for beginners as it is not over complicated. It has a good selection of basic stitches that is needed for most projects. The 17 stitches are selected with one dial which also controls the 4 step button hole. It’s great for alterations, repairing clothing and creating new projects. The top loading bobbin is easy for beginners to master and keep an eye on the amount of bobbin thread through the transparent bobbin cover.
Other features we love are the reverse function for securing seams, the flat bed/free arm for trouser hems and tight areas.
