 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I decided to upgrade my Janome sewing machine and had an idea of the one I wanted. Unfortunately the machine was on back order with Janome but both Sasha and Steve communicated this to me and as soon as it arrived with them they called me up so that I could go to view the machine. It was a 60 mile journey to Kings Lynn for me however it really was worth it instead of taking a chance ordering a machine online that I hadn’t even seen. Sasha was helpful demonstrating and gave me confidence to go forward with the purchase. She spent time with me ensuring I had covered anything I was unsure about, lovely, lovely young lady. Rita was also very welcoming. I have peace of mind knowing that I can drop off the machine to my local fabric & quilting store as Sewing Machine World collects from them weekly to service and repair…excellent service and good value. They gave me a very fair price for trade in so all in all the transaction has been smooth and pleasant. I would highly recommend using this business. Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was delighted with the service from Sewing Machine world. Rita could not have been more patient, spending as much time as I needed to demo the embroidery machine I was interested in. Though there are videos on you tube etc,  nothing beats being able to see it for yourself and ask questions. Given that these are not cheap machines, it’s definitely worth a trip. Without any sales pressure I was pleased to order the machine, which arrived 2 days later. I haven’t had to avail myself of the offer of a half hour lesson, but it’s there if I need it, and they service and repair too. I highly recommend a visit - you won’t be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always get such great customer care from Sewing Machine World. I’ve bought a Bernina 570 and Brother overlocker here. Just had a service for my Bernina and it’s running like a dream. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great service! I had done a lot of online research for the particular machine I was interested in but wanted to see the machine in person before ordering, made contact with Sasha and arranged for a demonstration, she ran me through the workings of the machine so I could place my order with confidence. Nothing was too much trouble when accommodating delivery arrangements to fit in with my holiday dates. I feel confident should I need any help in future I will be able to contact staff without worry. Support bricks and mortar shops as you cannot get this level of service online!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love visiting this shop, staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of sewing machines on display to try and have a demonstration. Lots of accessories too. Just bought a new machine and can’t wait to use it, and if I need help, I know who I can call. Thank you all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend loaned me her Toyota overlocker which after trial and error I managed to get working, however, not with the cones of thread supplied.  Steve diagnosed the need for 4 small cones for the thread to sit on and within 10 minutes, I was on my way, stocked up with sewing machine supplies and an overlocker free of its naughtiness. And did I mention the 10 minutes included a quick peek at potential future machine purchases?  What a selection!  Thoroughly recommend.    I will be back!
