Overview

The Brother HC1850 is a computerized sewing and quilting machine with 185 built-in stitches, an LCD stitch display, a drop-in top bobbin and 8 included presser feet plus a wide extension table for quilting.

The stitch count splits into 130 sewing stitches, including 8 auto-size buttonhole styles that size the buttonhole to the button automatically, and 55 alphanumeric stitches for monogramming and labeling. The drop-in top bobbin is a jam-resistant design that's easier to load than a front-loading bobbin, and the automatic needle threader removes one of the fiddlier steps of using a machine like this. Brother backs it with lifetime phone, chat and online support, though the machine itself is built for 120V US power only.

  • 185 built-in stitches (130 sewing, 55 alphanumeric)
  • 8 auto-size buttonhole styles
  • Drop-in top bobbin and automatic needle threader
  • Includes wide table and 8 presser feet

Who it's for

Fits home sewists and quilters who want a wide stitch library, an included quilting table, and beginner-friendly features like an auto needle threader. Less suited to anyone needing a 220V machine, since this is 120V and US market only.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 185 built-in stitches including auto-size buttonholes
  • Drop-in top bobbin designed to resist jamming
  • Automatic needle threader
  • Comes with a wide quilting table, 8 feet and lifetime brand support
Cons
  • 120V, US market only, not usable on other voltage standards

Performance notes

The 185 stitches break down into 130 sewing patterns, including 8 buttonhole styles that auto-size to the button being used rather than requiring manual measurement, and 55 alphanumeric stitches for text work. A drop-in top bobbin loads visibly from above and is built to resist the thread jams more common with older front-load designs, while the automatic needle threader pushes thread through the eye with a lever instead of by hand. The included wide table extends the sewing surface specifically for quilting, where extra support matters when maneuvering a large piece of fabric.
