I've been playing with my new sewing machine, and I can't believe I ever lived without these three features! ✨ 🪡 No-touch pivot function: Sewing tricky details like welt pockets feels SEW much easier, almost like having an extra hand. ✂️ Auto thread cutting: One press, and the threads are cut. Plus, I'm saving so much thread with shorter tails! 💫 Beautiful topstitching – The finish is just chef’s kiss! No fighting with my machine to get even stitches. This project was a breeze, and I can't wait to hear, "I can't believe you made that!" 😍 Who else swears by these features? Or is there a sewing machine function you can’t live without? Let me know below! ⬇️ #brotheraustralia #ad #sponsored #innovisnv1800q #sewingmachine
