Tried & Tested: Meet The Home Sewing Machine That Can Do Just About Anything

November 23, 2018

Watch this video:

Sewing can be fun and the feeling of wearing your own handmade creation is incredibly satisfying. Yet so often, the stress comes about when you have a machine that’s not user-friendly. Most sewing machines don’t come with a large variety of stitches, and a lot of the machine’s functions are operated manually. You end up spending more time toggling the machine until you find the perfect stitch, rather than spending the time on your actual sewing project.

So bearing this mind, we were impressed by how easy it was to operate Brother’s NV180K sewing machine. It’s designed to prioritise user comfort first, and allows you to customise the machine to your liking with little fuss. Plus, the intuitive functions help make operating the NV180K a breeze, even for those who rarely use a sewing machine.

On top of just sewing, it also comes with the powerful ability to do embroidery. Pick one of the built-in designs or load your own into the machine via a USB thumbdrive, and see how it can take your imagination and turn it into stunning reality. Here are seven reasons why we are raving over the machine.

Tried & Tested: Meet The Home Sewing Machine That Can Do Just About Anything
1. It comes with plenty of Hello Kitty embroidery designs

The Brother NV180K comes pre-loaded with a library of 54 Hello Kitty designs. Ranging from icons of the famous cat to illustrations of Hello Kitty on a unicorn or hosting a tea party, pick your favourite and let the machine do all the work!

2. There are plenty of other embroidery designs as well

Looking for more than just Hello Kitty designs? Then take a gander at one of the 80 in-built embroidery designs to find one that you love. Choose from pretty florals, mandala designs or other funky patterns to decorate your home projects.

You can also select one of the many fonts without the library of designs, enter your text, and have your name embroidered onto your fave clothing.

3. Pick from the many decorative stitches to customise your project

With 181 in-built stitches, you’ll definitely find one that you like. Use the eel bone stitch as a hem trim, or manipulate your fabric with the cute bicycle-inspired stitch. Plus, you can also custom-design your own stitch patterns and save it into the machine for future use.

4. The LCD screen lets you check your work

Before the first stitch is even applied, use the 3.7″ full-colour LCD screen to check your embroidery design. You can shift the position, adjust the size and rotation, or even mirror the design to your liking. Want more? Simply add in other embroidery patterns to create a design that’s unique to you.

5. It automatically sews for you
image

Gone are the days where you had to have a foot pedal to get the machine to sew into your fabric. With the auto-sewing function, simply align your fabric, put the footer down and press the green button. The machine will automatically feed the fabric into the machine, sewing as it goes. You can even select the automatic back stitch and thread cutting functions to shave off precious seconds from your creative project.

6. The auto-threader is a lifesaver
image

Save time (and eye power) of poking your thread around hoping that it finds its way into the eye of the needle. Thanks to the auto threader, you can now eliminate that painful process and get started on your sewing quicker. Simply following the threading instructions, press down on the lever and the machine will help you thread the needle.

7. Control the speed to your liking
image

Whether you’re a pro or it’s your first time sewing, the machine allows you to toggle the sewing speed to your liking. Simply use the slider to select your desired speed, and the NV180K will adjust the sewing speed accordingly.
