Great comparison. Thanks again Jeanette. To make my SE1900 wireless I purchased a 16G Sandisk wireless USB drive for $40. That is the feature I care about the most.
Thank you for this! I originally got the SE1900, and never unboxed it. I went back with it and paid the extra for the SE2000. This is my second embroidery machine. The biggie for me is that it trims the thread. It’s so much easier and quicker. Your tutorial is great as always .
Hi Jeanette. I actually just bought the SE2000 at the Houston International Quilt Show. I was able to get it with the Quilt Show special for $1,300. It was actually just delivered … can’t wait to get it set up. Thanks for the breakdown of the benefits. I have been using a SE600 so I’m excited to have a 5x7
I love my SE 1900 I sew/embroidery for fun. I wouldn’t upgrade for those few nice perks. I don’t use my machine a lot and it would be wasteful to buy a new one. If I ever did upgrade. I would want a bigger area to embroidery on. That would be my perk. This was a great video. I had no intentions to upgrade I just wanted to watch your video to support your channel and give it a thumbs up.
Thanks Gaby! I will be keeping my Se1900 too. You are so right. If I got another flatbed machine it it would have a bigger hoop! Thanks for the support!
Thank you for you video I think you did a great video and answer all my questions you are great I’m going to start following you. I will get that machine. Thanks to you.
I ordered the Brother SE 1900 and received instead, the SE 2000…. A free upgrade! This is my first sewing/ embroidery machine. I’ve owned a Singer 6105 sewing machine for 40 years
Jeanette so glad that you told me you had thumbs up on Brother SE2000. I was saving to get a SE1900 but if the SE1900 goes down to $900.00 I will get that LOL. but thinking getting the SE2000
I would like to embroider on ready made t-shirts & sweatshirts. Can you do this on either the se1900 or se2000? If you cut threads in between colors, will the design unravel? Love your analysis.
Hi Patricia. Yes you can do this on the both machines. The design will not unravel. I usually put tender touch on the back of the embroidery so everything stays intact and stitches don’t bother the person wearing the item.
Check out the Amazon Storefont link I have in the video description. I have a supplies list there that help folks get started. The list consists of thread, stabilizer and other items that are great when you are beginning.
Thanks for this review. One thing I wish the display could show is part of the name of the file along with the photo when embroidering. I wonder if it has a USB port at all in case your Wi-Fi is down. Cutting jump stitches is awesome!!!!
HI Jan. I believe the USB port is still on the machine. I sure hope they let it there. I can't imagine them removing it all together. You are right, if you have no USB port and Wifi is down. You are hosed....
I returned the SE2000 2 times from Amazon because it had rough edges around the Freearm, and a Needle Clamp that would not release the needle unless you wiggled it. Plus, those Freearm edges were unfinished, and the rough edges made the fabric “snag”. Also, the Corners on the freearm that surround the needle plate, had a “Triangle cut out of them, and that Triangle was finished with a rough sort of caulk or paint. The plastic is very soft on this machine, and I think that is why the edges were prone to being jagged. It’s as if the machine that cut that edge had a dull blade. And then Brother didn’t even seal the edge. I have the SE600 which was $300 from Walmart, and it had better workmanship than this new machine. I was so disappointed. The one thing that I did like about the machine was that the hoop was made stronger, and it had a sort of “brushed” finish that allowed it to grab the fabric better. I have been asking several Dealers if the hoops that come with the NQ1700E and the NQ3700D were improved as well. But, they all said that no, the hoops have not changed. I am just not sure about this because the SE2000 Hoop was also a bit darker than the older hoops, and many of the pics of the 6x10 hoops are now darker as well. So, at this point, I am a bit confused as to what to even get.
WeQuilt, they sure aren't making machines like they did in the past. My Mom's machine is solid steel. It's older than me and sews better than all my current machines. So far my SE1900 has been a really solid machine. I don't plan on upgrading at all to the SE2000. Staying with my baby. You're right about the hoops. I wish they were made stronger too. I looked at the NQ3700D at the Sewing and Quilt show. I have to admit, I got the itch to get it. It sewed really nice and I like that it had the 6x10 hoop. I know a lot of ITH projects use this hoop size.
@@BoricuaSewingCrafts Yes, Jeanette…. I have a handful of Vintage Singers that sew beautifully. Luv my 1590 and 1591 for Bag Making. My problem is that I am giving my SE600 to my daughter, and I want to be able to help her virtually with a machine that has a similar interface. On the sewing side, the NQ3700D has lots of bells and whistles. But, it’s not worth the money if the quality is as bad as the SE2000 was. I thought about getting the SE2000 again and just accept the poor quality, because I would be doing this to help my daughter. Or, get the NQ1700E because, like you said, there are a lot of ITH projects for that size. But, if I did that, I would not have the sewing side to help my daughter. Decisions, decisions…
Ackee another thing to look at is what is the price difference between the SE2000 and the machine with the next bigger hoop. You want to make sure you get a machine that you are going to be happy with. Look at the machine with the 6x10 hoop.
Hi Janette!!!! I have been watching your videos for about one year now, and have learned a lot from your Embrilliance tutorials!!!!! But I have been very interested in the Brother brand of sewing machines. I have no Brother Sewing/Embroidery combo machine. What I actually havefor several years now are Bernina brand of machines, and recently got a Janome MC 9500/300E pair. But I want a machine that can be easy to use, and to be loaded with as many features as possible so not to have to upgrade soon. I have read some comments here that the SE 1900 can be converted to WiFi by using a Wireless 16 GB USB Drive, but there is no ArtAspira Software on it, and the iBrothery Embroidery Library is not offered with the 1900, only with the 2000. So will you say that it would be better in my case to go for the SE 2000 instead of the 1900? I am also willing to give one of my Berninas as Trade in for the 2000, so the price could drop somewhat. What is your opinion in my case?
Hi Jorge, I have been very happy with the Brother machines. Yes, I have read that about the SE1900 using a wireless 16 GB USB drive but I haven't tried it. Honestly I haven't really been using the WifI capability on the 10 needle machine. I like having the USB Drive and using that. If the Wifi is important to you then go for the SE2000. Remember the SE2000 now cuts the jump stitches too so that will be a big plus.
I almost bought a SE 1900 a few years ago. I put it off and ended up buying yet another sewing machine which works great. But….. I seriously still want an embroidery machine. This may be the machine I get. I’m still debating.
Take a trip to a sewing shop so you can see the machine up close and try them out. Machines can be expensive so you want to make sure you make the right decision!
My SE 2000 arrived 2 days ago, used it yesterday... LOVE IT! The very first thing I noticed is how much quieter it is than my SE 1900. Jeanette, I must thank you for all your wonderful videos. Your tutorials have been instrumental in my new embroidery business :) I wholeheartedly agree this new machine is worth the extra few hundred just for the jump-stitch cutting function alone- if you embroider regularly.
i have a random question does the se2000 have the same set up where im able to use the 5x12 for multi hooping? or large designs i should say or have to purchase another hoop
The SE1950 is faster than the SRE1900. It's the same speed as the SE2000. The only difference is the capability. It doesn't cut the jump stitches and doesn't have the Wifi. It's still a good machine. I would do a price comparision on what you paid and how much for the SE2000 is going for now. If you want the new capabilities and can afford the difference, I would upgrade. If not I don't think you would regret the SE1950. I still have and use my SE1900 and love it.
A little disappointed that the biggest hoop is the 5x7 (noting I can use the 5X12 multi position). I was hoping Brother would increase the hoop size. I guess I will stick with my SE1900 for now.
Recently ran across your channel and found this one very interesting. I notice you have not posted for a while and imagine family matters have consumed your time. SMP has just reduced the SE1900 to $599.00 as it is being discontinued.. Just curious ...what do you use your1900 for since you have the big machines? Sewing? Thanks for this very informative video.
Hi Barb! Yes. I am back thou. I will be starting to post more videos again soon. I saw that big price decrease. I still think the SE1900 is still too pricey. If I have to spend $1500 on a machine I would look at the next version up that has the 6x10 hoop. I still use the SE1900 machine a lot. I do most of my sewing on it. But I still use the embroidery side of it as well. I like using it for In-The-Hoops projects. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@BoricuaSewingCrafts I have a Babylock Elegante2 which is really nice but very heavy. I was looking at the SE1900 as a travel machine since it only weighs 22lb and on sale. Prayers your Dad continues to improve.
Just a warning to anyone who sees this comment: my machine does not embroider at 650 stitches per minute for designs I create myself. For the installed designs it does. I contacted brother, checked and double-checked the speed controller and embroidery settings. Strange how this would happen on a supposedly new machine. The only thing brother could suggest is to visit a service center which is BS since, like I said, this is a new machine.
My question is, when will brother be coming out with the SE 2100... that's when I'll purchase a new sewing machine... then again that's when the SE 900 and 2000 prices will be reduced....saving me big time 💰💰💰🤑🤑🤑💸💸💲💲 🤣😂🤣
Sazon that is exactly what my friend does. She saves big time by buying the machines when the new Verizon comes out. I want to get the SE2000 because I like the feature of cutting the jump stitches. But I’m with you! I’ll get it when the SE2100 comes out!
Prices on machines are soaring up. Some folks prefer the single needle because it doesn't take up a lot of space like the multi-needle machines. I like them both.
If I knew more about it, maybe because of the jump stitch. But that extra $400 will go a long ways for the supplies, since I’m new to embroidery. 😊🫶. Thank you Jeanette
Please just do a video on SE2000 how to use help those who got it. Anyone can go to brothers website to do side by side comparison. If you look up Se 2000 sewing embroidery machine on yt there are 6 Lazy videos that dont help anyone who owns this machine 🫥
Great comparison. Thanks again Jeanette. To make my SE1900 wireless I purchased a 16G Sandisk wireless USB drive for $40. That is the feature I care about the most.
Hi Michelle. That's smart!!!! I'm going to try that!!!!
Ditto on the USB. I’m keeping my 1900 traveler. Great machine.
Would this work on the NS1150E?
@@CheBesDesignBox Where did you buy the wireless item at? Was it in the USA or from a store that imports them? I would love to get one.
Thank you for this! I originally got the SE1900, and never unboxed it. I went back with it and paid the extra for the SE2000. This is my second embroidery machine. The biggie for me is that it trims the thread. It’s so much easier and quicker. Your tutorial is great as always .
Thanks Ginger. Enjoy your SE2000!
Thank you for this video! I was on the fence but have now ordered it. I'm sure it will be a bit to learn.
You will LOVE your machine!

It was actually just delivered … can’t wait to get it set up. Thanks for the breakdown of the benefits. I have been using a SE600 so I’m excited to have a 5x7
HI Linda! That's a good price! I wish they had it at the show when I went. I would have loved checking it out. Have fun with it!
@@BoricuaSewingCrafts thank you. I’m so excited.
I have this machine and love it! Before I got this machine, I was using much older machines. There is no comparison.
I totally agree!
This is a very good comparison of the two machines. Thank you!

Jeanette I was reading your comments I think I will get the SE1900😂😂
You can't go wrong with either machine. You're be happy with either model. I just don't think it's worth upgrading if you already own the SE1900.
What is the max stitch with for the regular fancy stitches..?? You give a very good overall comparison…THANK YOU…SO MUCH
Hi Carmen. The Max speeed for sewing is 850 and 650 for embroidering. The SE2000 has more fancy stitches but it’s only by 1.
I would like to embroider on ready made t-shirts & sweatshirts. Can you do this on either the se1900 or se2000? If you cut threads in between colors, will the design unravel? Love your analysis.

The SE2000 description shows to have a bigger 3.7" LCD screen...as compared to SE1900/1950's 3.2" is this correct?? Very good review!
