Brother Inventio NV1850Q Sewing Machine Product Review

A great sewing machine for intermediate and advanced sewers is the Brother Inventio NV1850Q Sewing Machine.
This machine is packed with features that make it an excellent choice for quilters, dressmakers and home décor enthusiasts alike.
The NV1850Q is designed with quilting in mind, with a generous workspace, extra quilting-specific feet and smooth fabric handling. Free motion quilting is a joy with this model, thanks to the quick drop feed system that lets you switch easily between standard sewing and free motion work.
One of the standout features is Brother’s ICAPS fabric sensor system. This intelligent system automatically detects fabric thickness and adjusts the presser foot pressure, ensuring perfectly even feeding on everything from lightweight silks to multiple quilt layers. It’s features like this that really set the NV1850Q apart and take your sewing to the next level.
You’ll also love the clear LCD screen, which displays your chosen stitch, recommended presser foot and settings at a glance. This makes selecting and customising stitches intuitive and fuss-free.
Speaking of stitches, the NV1850Q comes with 232 built-in stitches, including 14 automatic buttonholes and 5 alphabets. From utility stitches for garment making to decorative and quilting stitches, you’ll have everything you need. Each stitch can be adjusted for length and width, so you can tailor them to suit every project.
Another feature advanced sewers will appreciate is the knee lift. Being able to raise and lower the presser foot hands-free means you can keep both hands on your fabric, perfect for pivoting around curves, applique work, or when binding quilts.
The NV1850Q also features a top-loading bobbin system, which is quick to thread, easy to clean, and helps keep your machine running smoothly. A quick brush between projects is all it takes to keep lint at bay and maintain top performance.
With a spacious 8.3 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, this machine is ideal for larger quilts and bulky projects. Plus, it comes with a wide extension table, giving you even more room to spread out and work comfortably.
