Brother Company has made me fond of its product throughout my 20 years of embroidery experience. When the SE1900 embroidery machine was first introduced, I purchased it within two days of its release and have been using it till now. As you may imagine, I have a lot of experience with it.
So let’s start to discuss its features and how they worked for me.

Our Brief Testing:
I’ve completed hundreds of projects with this machine, but I’m running a live embroidery test with the SE1900 to demonstrate you how it works.
After selecting different designs, my colleague asked me to embroider a golf design on a golf towel. So first, I downloaded the design from an online website and unzipped it from my laptop.
After copying the design to USB, I plugged the USB into the machine, and it takes 5-7 seconds to import into the machine. So, you can understand how simple it is to import. Remember, the machine uses DST and PES file format to import designs, and in my opinion, PES will be most suitable.
Then we edit the design and make the necessary changes using the machine’s LCD screen. The display is bright and easy to use. In the editing option, you can make many changes like cropping, rotating, flipping, positioning the design, moving, vertical or horizontal, adding more design, insert, letters between design, etc.
The machine started working as the start button was pressed, and it stopped after the green thread role was completed. After changing the thread color, the machine again started working.
It takes almost 8 minutes to thread the complete design. I removed the jump stitches with embroidery scissors, and the design was completely ready.
My Experience:
It’s tough to evaluate a product only on its specifications. You must understand how it works right out of the box.
Almost I have experience of 3 years to work with this machine, And embroidered over hundreds of different projects on towels, fabrics, garments, hats, etc. I will say that this machine will deliver more than it claims.
It also do sewing, which is a beneficial point if you do regular sewing. As a sewing machine, it performs outstanding, and switching between two modes is very easy.
There are dozens of embroidery designs available, and you can also upload your favorite design via USB. The color screen is super functional and easy to use, where you can edit or preview your design.
Generally, home embroidery machines are limited up to 4×4- inch hoop size, but this machine introduces a change by giving a 5″ X7″ embroidery area. So, you are limited up to small projects.
In short, I am very happy with the machine’s performance and purchase. I will also recommend this product if you are buying it for your home use or for projects within 5×7 inches.
Brother SE1900 vs PE800- What’s the Difference?

Like PE800 lacks built-in stitches, custom stitch, thread sensor, buttonholes, sewing speed, and some other helping accessories. Make a look at a comparison table that explains everything.

Features:
Embroidery Area:
Brother SE1900 comes with a 5″ x 7″ embroidery field which is more than enough to complete your large projects. In the previous models, we have seen the Brother Company was delivering only 4×4 hoop size. But this change is really appreciated and is very helpful in this price range.
I’m sure you’re thinking about what you’ll do if you have to hoop a small design. No problem, just you have to buy a 4×4 inches hoop and start making the design.
The placement of hoops inside or outside is simple; even a beginner can do it.
Screen:
When talking about the screen, it is a crystal clear and super functional 3.2″ LCD color touchscreen through which you can edit and preview your design before embroidering. In customization, you can crop, flip, rotate, move, change thread color, add a font, add another design, etc.
Moreover, if you become confused in any step, you can view the step-by-step video tutorial on the screen.
Embroidery Designs:
All the embroidery machines come with some built-in designs which help the user to make a start. This machine comes with 138 unique and creative designs, which are more than enough for your projects.
Some users do not rely on these designs, and they import their own designs. So a USB port is available to import your favorite design. You can also save some designs design in the “My Custom Stitch” folder to use in the future.
Embroidery Fonts:
Fonts make the design more attractive and appealing. Most people stitch names or words on shirts and other fabrics. So this machine comes with 11 fonts; 8 in English and 3 in Japanese. Thus you can use this machine for monogramming also.
Helping Features:
Every machine comes with some extra features which are not compulsory but having them will be more beneficial. Brother SE1900 gives advanced needle threader, Drop-in top bobbin, needle threader, and 10 styles of auto-size buttonholes.
