My New Sewing Machine || Brother HC1850 || Unboxing and Setup/Demo

[@WomanTakenBytheWind]

Okay i have never sewed before in my LIFE. I have no idea how a sewing machine works. No idea what to do. And this was SO helpful! Thank you so much! I just bought this exact machine cuz i wanted to use these stitches down the line and the button holes lol. Thank you for showing the basics on this machine, i appreciate it so much.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Glad I could help!

[@alisham4902]

I just set mine up and now looking at videos on how to use because I haven’t sewn since one semester in home ec in junior high. Lol. I’m excited though. Good luck to you.

[@nuny313]

This video or review of this sewing machine was excellent because you explained everything with a lot of detail and I love that. I got this machine back in 2017 I believed or beginning of 2018 and got it out of the box and went to Walmart and got an $18 hard case for it “at that time anyway “and I was so excited with it and went and got a lot of things so I could start sewing again because I started when I was around 11 or even younger than that helping out my mom and I kept doing it until I was 19 and got my first child and for so many other reasons I stopped and I tried to get back with it back in 2017 than soon after that I got diagnosed with cancer and That put a stop to my plans again and now after so many years of having it brand new in the box and keep fighting for my life now I’m 56 yrs old and I decided to give it a try because that’s something that you never forget and pick it back up again but I need it to look some reviews to see how the machine is and so far this is the must well explained. Thanks so much for sharing such great information and I’m sending you all the Blessings and many good wishes for you and your family in this New Year. Thanks again

Happy Birthday Sophia!! As sweet as you are and how hard you work, you deserve this new sewing machine!! Have a wonderful day of celebrating you!! Blessings of love and joy!!

[@TandZAptLife]

Awe what a wonderful birthday gift. I love your excitement. I sewed years ago. I made my wedding dress and a lot of baby clothes. I sold my sewing machines when we bought an RV and moved in it full-time and now i want to sew again and I found this machine and YOU! I subscribed!🤗

[@breill1309]

I just got my sewing machine today I was a Christmas gift from my daughter..I love it .. I was watching you video and learning how to use it at the same time...l like you a long time Singer user..my machine started to do the same things I sew clothing..Thank you

[@janecollum8420]

Happy Happy Birthday Sophie!! So glad you got a new Sewing and Quilting machine!! I can see the excitement on your face!! Enjoy!!

[@alysarae6141]

My bf got me this for Christmas and I am finally unboxing it tonight. Super excited!

[@marybethantonucci155]

Just received this machine. Read the booklet, watched other videos. God Bless You! So simple and complete. The best video! I subscribed. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!😊

[@shroomie4949]

I just bought one of these machines as a first time sewer. Watching this was immensely helpful. Thank you!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Good luck and please keep me updated.

[@lynnpelletier4321]

Thank You! Great video, I just bought this machine and you had me at "my current machine has been a Singer" I'm a true novice sewing machine novice ( my Singer wanted to keep me in frustration and tears) I'll visit your channel often to find out what's up. Who knows, with a new machine, that doesn't seem to hate me, and you........I may learn a great deal!

[@judystahlman1620]

Happy birthday, Sophia. I love my brother and I know you will love yours too. I look forward to watching you enjoy it.

[@margaretd4115]

Happy birthday lovely lady xxx I loved seeing how happy and excited you were to have your new machine lol its infectious. How exciting to get a gift which will continue to bring you joy! I cannot wait to watch and hopefully learn from you as you go along. Birthday greetings from Ireland xxx

[@janetking1316]

Thank you for the unboxing. You gave a very honest review of how the machine works. Now I am excited to find one for me!

[@chelseag191]

Happy birthday Sofia!😊. I don't know how to sew but I have attempted a long time ago in the past. I am 65 and when I was young some of my friends would sew and I asked my mom to teach me and she said, I can't make a hankerchief. But it's been nice to watch you. You're so excited, so enjoy your birthday! Jean from Arizona

[@ruthsquiltingandmore5346]

Happy Birthday, Sophia! I know you will Enjoy your new machine! I understand your excitement, I , too, am a quilter.

[@nordabrown839]

I got mine 4 days before my birthday on May 13th, 2021. I was sooooo excited. Love it

[@cherihendrix3076]

Happy birthday Sophia! Now I know what I want for my birthday. I have an old singer that gives me tension problems galore and I hate it. You have sold me on getting a new machine. Like you, I have lots of projects I would like to do but I put them off because my machine didn't work right. It's time for me to get good tools for the projects I want to do.

[@purplepaisleypassion]

Sophia you are adorable!!!! It's years after you've posted this video, and I'm considering replacing my very old Singer (of which the bobbin case popped OUT, and then I broke it, trying to put it back in) with this machine. Your demo and walkthru of all of the features and possibilities of this machine were absolutely perfect. I hope you're still loving this sleek, feature packed model. I'm what I call a "straight seam" sewist; I sew things that need to be held together, and that's about it! My machine broke down on me just as I was preparing to sew burp cloths for my DIL's baby shower. She never got them, and this grandson is now 4 months old! They're still sitting in my studio waiting to be finished, and then this whole COVID19 business happened, and I can hardly find ANY sewing machines in stock ANYWHERE, let alone walk into Joann Fabrics and try a few out to see what I like. I had a Brother over 20 years ago and it was a pain from day 1, so I HAD decided to stick with Singer. But last night, I discovered reviews of moderately priced machines, and this one made the top of the list. So I'm trying to learn all that I can. Your video was extremely helpful in checking out this make and model. Thank you for posting this! Best wishes to you! Stay safe & healthy!

[@nancypeteja6560]

Happy Quilting! So glad you finally got a machine that will let you do all your projects!! Enjoy!! Happy Birth Anniversary!!

[@mosaicgirl4002]

Yay, for you Sophia! Your new sewing machine looks SO GOOD! I'm all set up to make a start on learning how to sew with a machine. Somehow I've just never learnt? So, now it's retirement project. I've been given a dear friends mum's old machine- it's been serviced & works well. Not a fancy one like yours- but I'm very pleased. And I just love fabric! ...and have been slowly developing a desire to quilt - so, ' Yes, please' to quilting lessons! Have fun- you really do deserve that machine. I'm happy for you. Best wishes.

[@aracelisescalona150]

Happy birthday my friend. Showers of blessings today and always. Ps. Can't wait to learn about sewing with you!

[@pamelaruth6909]

That is a beautiful machine and I was shocked at how reasonable the price was!!! Good for you. TFS and take care.................

[@chubberb8676]

Happy Birthday! I know how excited you must feel about your machine I felt that way when I got my singer sewing machine 23 years ago and it's still running well making curtains, quilts, placemats etc. like you I love to sew!

[@munakhan5920]

Happy birthday lovely Sophia, what a fabulous birthday gift you got I love this sewing machine. I want to buy a machine and now I have decided I will also buy a Brother machine. It looks easy to manage the settings thanks to you showing us how. 💐

[@joanneszala6277]

Sophia I LOVED this! I just received the same machine for Christmas. I have to send it back because the feed dog switch does not work. BUT Amazon is sending me another one. I so enjoyed watching you as you are so real. I will be following you.

[@lizjaramillo4313]

Hi Sophia!!! I also have a brother machine and I love it, my machine is different than this one. My hubby also bought it for my birthday 4 years ago. It really is easy to set up and use. Especially when filling and placing the bobbin. I hope you love it as much as I love mine. Happy sewing!!!💕

[@brigittelm6054]

Happy Birthday and congratulations on your new machine. My sewing machine got stolen from our home. I am really excited for you. I also had bought my daughter a new machine for Christmas that year and was going to teach her how to sew as well. I just found and old singer at the thrift store and its belt was broken. I actually just picked ip the belt order and super oil bottle to give it a going through. SO YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR PROJECTS.

[@cinderellafan362436]

Happy Birthday!!🎊🎁🎈🎂🎉I celebrate my birthday on the 19th. I would love to see the sewing & quilting projects you mentioned. I enjoy piddling with a very old Singer machine and have made a couple of Queen size quilts also. Sophia, you inspire me! Thank you for all you do, again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[@bettyhuey9521]

I also have a Singer I am planning to replace and have been looking at Brother machines. Two of my friends have them and are quite pleased. I look forward to your episodes on making curtains as well. Happy Birthday Sophia and have fun with your new toy!

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot! I'm super excited to work with my new Brother HC1850. I had a Singer for 30 years and had so many issues too. So excited to use all the automated features. Hem...Embroidery...Overcast...can't wait! I love the auto threader feature too (my eyes are thankful :) ). Enjoy your quilting!

[@cindyremski3442]

Wow, excellent review! I’ve been shopping for a new sewing machine, and this was one of the machines I’ve been looking at recently. This is a beautiful machine with all of the functions I need and want and at a very reasonable price too. I’d love to learn quilting from your channel. Thanks so much for doing this review!

[@NaturalTvventy]

I got my girlfriend this sewing machine for Christmas and she's SO excited! Thank you for the recommendation and excellent video!

[@EverythingCustomMade]

That is very kind of you. How is the machine holding up? Any issues or complaints?

[@Jake92574]

It's Friday!!! Happy Happy Birthday!! I can't believe how excited I am to see you and your new machine! Take it from a sewer...Nothing in life is as exciting as a New Machine. hahaI love sewing machines and books. There is absolutely nothing like a used book store or a sewing machine shop. The little things in life. :) I noticed it didn't come with a walking foot or an open toe quilting foot, so you'll have to pick up one of those if you do much quilting. E-bay/Amazon for a cheap compatible one. E-bay is where I've purchased lots of feet for my machines and no problems at all. Enjoy that new machine and many hours of happy trouble free sewing. Oh! Thank you S. for the wonderful birthday gift. It was painful to watch Miss S. trying to sew on that old machine. :)

[@Alex-ik1rl]

Happy Birthday Sophia! I have a number of sewing machines and I remember the fun of unboxing and checking all the accessories on each. I wish you the best. For a beginning quilter you have a great eye for color and pattern combinations. Your quilt-to-be is beautiful.

[@melanies4065]

Happy Birthday Sophia! I have the older version of that sewing machine! It took me a year to realize if the stitch you pick needs a different foot it displays the letter of the foot needed in the upper left corner of the display. All the feet it came with are stamped with corresponding letters. I also had a singer and had issues with the tension too! I do like my machine no problems so far!

[@carrierothamel6805]

[@bluejay5531]

Happy birthday Sophia!! so lovely to see you so happy! You are glowing! :-) I had the exact same "aaaaaah" moment when I got my upgraded machine, also for my birthday, a few years ago, because I had and old machine, that just like yours would mess up the tension, and I had learnt to sew on that one with much frustration, this is going to be a total game changer for your sewing! yay! ...I am not a quilter but a beginner/wishful sewer/seamstress so I can totally relate to the joy....

[@terrig1857]

wow you have motivated me to get my machine out. I have an old elna, it's super heavy, and doesn't do any fancy stitches but it is trustworthy. never had a problem with it. looking forward to more videos

[@barbaramattingly5668]

Happy Birthday Sophia! I love your new machine and was so tickled to see how excited you were. Look forward to your new sewing videos.

[@ashleymckee1140]

Happy Birthday Sophia. When free motion quilting if you have trouble moving your quilt precisely or find it slipping around I suggest using rubber coated garden gloves for grip. They sell quilting gloves for ridiculous prices and they're basically the same. Can't wait for more videos!

[@karynb7781]

Happy Birthday! What a present! I'm sure you're just swimming with the IDEAS! The Perfect time of year to plan for so many projects! I have a very heavy older machine and I have made curtains, baby things, gifts, repairs, never have I ever quilted though. I made kit quilts, but not piecing and planning like your runners. You redid the table at an opportune time too for the project area! I use an old dining tabletop I like. It's got the smoothest surface and it's very dark so I can see my bits easily on there. Maybe I will drag my machine from the cabinet? I moved and I have 7 windows that aren't dressed, only blinds...I will Love to see what you plan for your windows! I need inspiration here! : ) You have a Lovely, Lovely, Birthday & a Joyful weekend with Everyone!

[@ThenaReynolds]

What an awesome machine! Bet it made your birthday great!

[@sandyconine4689]
