Yes, the machine is dreamy. Yes, you can dream. And yes, you can make your dreams a reality. And as incredible as this machine is, with all the hoopla that surrounds it, we cannot forget (nor do we want to!) that new Brother midlines are being
introduced as well! The midlines, with a few TOL
features thrown in, are just that—not necessarily a beginner machine (although
a beginner would be thrilled with one) , not as advanced as the TOL Dream
machine, but right smack-dab in that middle category. These are terrific sewing, embroidery, and
combo machines that complete the bridge for new sewists wanting and needing
something more in terms of growth, and they are feature-rich machines with price
points that make budget-conscious consumers especially happy.
One
of the new midlines that was really impressive was the Brother Innovis NQ1400EEmbroidery-only machine.
 |
It is a big
step-up from a Brother 770 or 780D with features that are normally found on the
more expensive sewing/embroidery combo machines. Our staff was able to play with the features
included on this machine at the Brother B2B in Nashville and found it to be a
terrific value for embroidery enthusiasts.
The pictures below were taken while we were on a different, new midline
machine which was a sewing/embroidery combo (Brother Innovis NQ3500D), however, the embroidery portion is
virtually identical to the new NQ1400E
Embroidery-Only machine. So what’s in
store for customers who purchase a new NQ1400E?
First, it’s embroidery only!
Assuming one has a sewing machine, this means you can sew and embroider
at the same time J
(the obvious, of course). So what else?
1.
A 3.7” COLOR
LCD screen! One of the very few in this
class of machines that offers this.
Right off the bat, I can’t think of any other machines in this category
that currently do.
 |
Photo is of the Brother Innovis NQ3500D, however,
the screen is similar to the Brother Innovis NQ1400E.
|
2. A large 6” X 10” embroidery area. Machines of this caliber are typically in the
5” X 7” size range. That is a great
improvement for a midline.
3.
138 built-in embroidery designs, 10 shapes and
14 stitch patterns (140 frame pattern combinations) and 11 (yes 11!) embroidery
lettering fonts.
4.
An
advanced needle threader and tension system.
5.
On-screen editing which includes letters,
enhanced zoom, rotating as well as reposition and combining designs.
6.
A generous workspace—59% larger than previous
models!
7.
Built-in USB port and iBroidery compatible.
8.
8.3” of space from needle to arm for better
maneuvering of your embroidery projects.
Our staff completed an in-the-hoop
project highlighting some edit features normally found on higher-end, combo
machines. First we set up our machine to
stitch a built-in frame for our project.
We added and copied multiple flowers, added and resized text, and
rotated designs.
Check out our finished
mug mat!
Again, our sample project was completed on
the new Innovis NQ3500D due to machine availability, but the new NQ1400E
embroidery only is a machine to look for
on our showroom floor when the new Brother machines arrive. It definitely fills a niche in the Brother
machine lineup in both features and pricing for an embroidery-only machine which
is a step up from a Brother 780, and for those not quite ready to take the
plunge into a sewing/embroidery combo.
For
customers looking for the ultimate sewing/embroidery experience in the midline
range, consider the NQ3500D.

It’s a
reasonably priced machine with TOL features incorporated into the sewing
component of the machine. While the embroidery features are very similar to the
NQ1400E, the sewing features INCLUDE
the:
1.
AHA. This is your Aha moment! Automatic Height Adjustment on a midline
machine. Amazing!
2.
Pivot Function.
Yes, your presser foot automatically lifts as the needle remains lowered
for fast and easy fabric manipulation.
These were two incredible additions
to the new Brother midline machines.
Brother has really come through combining TOL features with
affordability for the home sewist and quilter.
Additional features found on the
NQ3500D include:
- 290 built-in sewing stitches, 173 built-in embroidery designs, and 35 Disney designs along with 140 frame pattern combinations, 11 embroidery lettering fonts and 5 sewing lettering fonts.
- 2 embroidery hoops—a 6” X 10” hoop and a 5” X 7” hoop.
- My Custom Stitch feature.
The are just two of the exciting new midlines which are must-see machines that will appeal to a broad category of sewists whether it be quilting, sewing, and/or embroidery. Be sure to ask about them on your next visit to the store. It’s almost time for them to arrive so get organize your projects and sewing plans and get ready to be impressed by the new Brother lineup!
We’ll leave you with lots of
inspiration pics lining the classroom walls at the Brother B2B in Nashville which were
completed on various machines whether it be the new Dream machine or
midlines. Click on any pic to enlarge for easier viewing and scrolling.
Enjoy!
And as always, Happy
Sewing from your friends at
Pocono Sew and Vac :) !!
