Brother Inventio NV1350 Product Review & Demonstration
The Brother Inventio NV1350 is a versatile sewing and quilting machine designed for intermediate sewers ready for a more advanced model. There is an impressive selection of stitches, a spacious 8.3-inch work area and advanced technology such as the Square Feed Drive System for smooth, even stitches on everything from delicate silks to heavy layers. It's ideal for dressmakers, quilters, crafters and home decor makers looking for smooth fabric handling and beautifully professional results.
The stitch library covers 182 built-in stitches, 10 styles of one-step buttonholes and 5 lettering fonts in upper and lowercase. The 7mm maximum stitch width gives garment sewers and quilters room for proper satin stitching, decorative work and detailed appliqué. My Custom Stitch lets you design and save your own stitch patterns directly on the machine and multi-directional sewing in four directions opens up creative options that a standard front-feed machine cannot match.
The 8.3-inch (210mm) workspace to the right of the needle gives you genuine room for larger quilts and bulky projects, paired with dual LED lighting for clear visibility around the needle area. The Easy Set drop-in bobbin loads from the top and pulls thread through a guide slot, which reduces jams and tension issues during long sewing sessions. The advanced needle threader, automatic thread cutter and one-touch lockstitch button keep the core repetitive tasks off your hands so you can focus on the work in front of you.
The 3.5-inch LCD screen displays your selected stitch with its recommended width, length and presser foot, and the central control cluster keeps speed, needle up/down, lockstitch, thread cutter and start/stop within fingertip reach. Automatic thread tension manages the upper thread balance, with manual adjustment available in 0.2 increments for precise fine-tuning across different fabric weights. The included knee lift raises and lowers the presser foot hands-free, which is particularly useful for appliqué, quilting and pivoting around curves. Drop feed for free-motion quilting comes built in.

Materials and Build Quality
The Square Feed Drive System (SFDS) is the engineering centrepiece of the NV1350, replacing the standard oval feed dog motion with a square path that grips fabric for the full feeding cycle. This keeps more of the feed dogs in contact with the fabric for longer, helping layers feed evenly and consistently. The result is smoother stitching, improved fabric control and reduced slipping on tricky or bulky fabrics.
A 7-point feed dog with a longer reach pairs with an extended J-foot to handle bulkier fabrics and multiple layers without slipping. The longer contact area gives consistent fabric control, which means cleaner seams on quilted layers, denim and heavier home furnishing fabrics.
The generous 8.3-inch workspace gives you extra room to comfortably handle larger quilts, bulky projects and flowing fabrics. It helps reduce bunching and drag around the needle area, making detailed sewing, quilting and manoeuvring bigger pieces far easier and more enjoyable. The dual LED lighting array casts even light across the workspace for clearer visibility on detailed work and in dim lighting conditions.
The Difference is in the Details
The NV1350 reaches 850 stitches per minute, with an electronic slide speed control to pull the pace back on detailed work. The F.A.S.T bobbin winder gets you back to sewing faster between thread changes. The Start/Stop button lets you sew hands-free at a steady pace. The Stitch Tie-Off button anchors thread at the start and end of every seam, and Needle Stop Up/Down with automatic bobbin thread pick-up keep small interruptions to a minimum. The My Stitches Menu can save multiple stitches so you can save your preferred stitch combinations for convenience.
Automatic thread tension takes the guesswork out of changing fabrics, with manual override in 0.2 increments for precise fine-tuning across different weights and threads. The Easy Set drop-in bobbin sits flat in the top-loading housing and pulls thread through a guide slot, reducing jams and helping the upper and lower threads form clean, balanced stitches every time.
The clear LCD screen displays your selected stitch alongside its recommended presser foot, width and length, which means new stitches become familiar quickly without reaching for the manual. The included Quick Start Guide gets you sewing on day one. You'll find a detailed tutorial on our YouTube channel covering everything you need to know about the NV1350 to get you started.
The included knee lifter raises and lowers the presser foot hands-free, which means both hands stay on the fabric for appliqué and quilting. The pivot function holds the needle down at seam ends to make sharp corners and tight angles easier to manage. Free arm sewing makes cuffs, sleeves and trouser hems easier to handle, while the 3.5-inch LCD keeps controls clear and uncluttered.
Brother Inventio NV1350: A Machine for Every Maker
And every project
Ambitious Dressmakers
The NV1350 offers ambitious dressmakers professional results, convenient features and room to grow creatively. The smooth fabric feeding handles delicate fabrics like silk, while the spacious work area makes larger garments easier to manage. The adjustable speed control gives confidence on precise details like topstitching and hem placement. The 10 one-step buttonholes cover most garment styles without manual adjustment, and free arm sewing handles narrow circumferences easily.
Passionate Quilters
Consistent stitch quality, easier quilt handling and reliable fabric feeding make the NV1350 ideal for patchwork, quilting and appliqué. The 8.3-inch workspace gives quilters room for larger quilt tops and drop feed enables free-motion quilting for stippling, ruler work and freehand designs. The longer J-foot and 7-point feed dog keep layered quilts moving evenly, and the knee lift makes pivoting around appliqué shapes far less fiddly.
Creative Personalisation
Five lettering fonts in upper and lowercase open up monogramming on linens, bags and gifts. The My Custom Stitch function lets you design and save your own stitch patterns for projects with a recurring motif. Multi-directional sewing in four directions adds creative options that a standard front-feed machine cannot offer.
Inside the Brother Inventio NV1350
Square Feed Drive System (SFDS)
A square-path feed mechanism replaces the standard oval motion, holding fabric in contact with the feed dog for longer across each stitch cycle for smoother, more consistent feeding on all fabric weights.
Easy Set Drop-In Bobbin
The top-loading bobbin drops into a horizontal housing, with the thread pulled through a guide slot before closing the cover. The clear view reduces jams and keeps the bobbin area accessible for cleaning.
Advanced Automatic Needle Threader
The advanced automatic needle threader pulls the upper thread through the needle eye in one motion, saving time at every thread change and reducing strain on the eyes during fine work.
My Custom Stitch and Stitch Memory
Design your own stitch patterns directly on the machine using the LCD screen, then combine and save them for later. Stitch memory retrieves saved sequences instantly, ready to use on future projects.
Pivot Function and Multi-Directional Sewing
The pivot function holds the needle down at seam ends to keep fabric anchored for sharp corner turns. Four-directional sewing moves fabric sideways as well as forward, opening creative stitching paths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let us help with the answers.
Is the NV1350 suitable for an intermediate sewer moving up from a basic machine?
Yes. The NV1350 is built for sewers who have outgrown a basic machine and want more stitch options, a larger workspace and useful automation. The LCD screen guides you through stitch selection with recommended settings, so the step up from a beginner machine is gradual rather than overwhelming.
What does the Square Feed Drive System actually do?
SFDS replaces the standard oval feed motion with a square path, which keeps the feed dog in contact with the fabric for longer during each stitch cycle. The result is a stronger, more even feed across different fabric weights, which is particularly useful when working with delicate fabrics, layered quilts or heavier home décor materials.
Can I do free-motion quilting on this machine?
Yes. The feed dogs drop manually, releasing the fabric so you can move it freely under the needle for stippling, ruler work or freehand quilting designs. The 8.3-inch workspace gives you room to manoeuvre larger quilt tops, and the knee lift makes repositioning fabric significantly easier than using the standard presser foot lever.
What is My Custom Stitch and how does it work?
My Custom Stitch lets you design your own stitch patterns directly on the NV1350 using the LCD screen and electronic keypad. Once you have created a stitch, you can save it to the machine's memory and combine it with other built-in stitches, which is useful for projects with a recurring motif or signature design.
Does it come with everything I need to start sewing?
Yes. The NV1350 ships with seven presser feet covering zigzag, buttonholes, overcasting, blind stitch, zippers, monogramming and button fitting, alongside bobbins, needles, spool caps, screwdrivers, a knee lifter, foot controller and a hard case for protection. The operation manual and quick start guide cover initial setup.
