The Aveneer EV1 is Brothers new flagship sewing and embroidery machine and we can't wait to play with it! Packed full of features this machine is not reserved for the experts - building on the already awesome features of its predecessor, the Luminaire, it is going to be so easy to use that with help and tuition from Jane and her team even a complete beginner will be up and stitching in no time. At £14,999 the Aveneer EV1 is definitely an investment, but with all its features it is worth every penny.
The Aveneer EV1 is an amazing sewing machine, it has a 14.1 inch throat (that's the distance between the needle and the upright part of the machine) making handling large projects easy. The included dual feed foot is ideal when working with thin or layered fabrics- it works along the same principle of a standard walking foot you get with regular, smaller machines but think bigger, better, more control and outstanding results. The stitch quality is fantastic- the range of built-in stitches, over 870, means you’ll always have the stitch you need and using the buttonhole foot in combination with the new buttonhole projector makes evenly spaced buttonholes a breeze even on stretch, knit and sheer fabrics.
On the embroidery side, this machine is in a class of its own. A huge 11⅝ x 18¼” (29.7x46.5cm) hoop area means not only can you use large designs that fill the hoop, you can also combine designs easier- fitting more on each hoop and spending less time joining (though of course we should say that joining designs using the Aveneer EV1 camera and large 5x8" (12.7x20.3cm) projector is super easy too!). The Aveneer EV1 has over1,850 built-in embroidery designs with loads of Disney designs- everything you need to make extraordinary projects. Smooth embroidery, stunning stitch quality and easy usage make for perfect embroidery.
Over and above the sewing and embroidery features included in this machine, the Aveneer EV1 comes with its own built-in easy to use enhanced My Design Centre. Just like the Luminaire before trust us, no artistic ability is required to use this feature- not one of us here can draw for toffee and yet we have been able to make beautiful designs with this machine. Using this built-in programme you’ll be able to take any basic image and make a stunning project- don’t worry, we’ll show you how. The feature we're looking forward to having a good play with is the new Picture Play function- using artificial intelligence to take a basic picture and automatically change it into a photostitch, ready to stitch design- with different styles to choose from to boot!
They say that this machine is even quieter than the Luminaire- we'll have to wait for ours to arrive to confirm that ourselves but during the demonstrations we had it definately appears to be plenty quiet. We work with machines all day every day and the noise just becomes part of the background. It's always good not to have to stop your embroidery to answer the phone! The Luminaire was definitely a smoother, stronger, quieter machine and we think that as with most features the Aveneer EV1 is going to be the next step up.
