The accessories included with this sewing machine are the standard ones that you get with most machines. However, there is a darning plate. Due to you not being able to drop the feed dogs on the Brother AE1700 sewing machine you can’t do free motion sewing. The inclusion of the darning plate gives you the option of free motion sewing adding even more versatility to this already very versatile machine.

The Brother AE1700 comes with an instructional DVD that shows all aspects of the machine - perfect if you're a beginner. It also has a manufacturer's warranty of 3 years.

Although the amount of quilting and stitching patterns is not very impressive (only 14 automatic variants), the ability to make elaborate stitches and complex quilting manually makes up for it, letting you improve and master your skills over time. Likewise, the manual stitching makes it easier to create decorative patterns. There is a built-in LED light as opposed to a traditional bulb. Traditional bulbs tend to make the thread look a different colour than it actually is, an LED light eliminates this minor problem Sewing machines can be either mechanical or computerised. Personally, i would recommend a beginner to buy a mechanical sewing machine as they are less technical, easier to use and far simpler to get to grips with. Mechanical sewing machines are powered by electric and are not as old fashioned as they may sound. The reason they are called mechanical sewing machines is due to them having internal gears, levers and switches.
