£269.00

Our lightest machine and a favourite for classes and workshops. 40 stitches at this price is very good going, and it’s easy enough that anyone can sit down and use it.

  • Free UK delivery
  • Official dealer, full manufacturer warranty

40 built in stitches

Unusual at this price, and enough variety to keep you going well past the basics.

Sew without the pedal

A start stop button and a speed slider, so you can keep both hands on the fabric.

Five buttonhole styles

Enough choice for shirts, coats and cushion covers without changing anything over.

Free UK Delivery

On all machines

Official Dealer

Approved by Brother, Janome, Bernina and more

Full in house servicing available

By our own engineers in King's Lynn

Quickly and easily get creative with the Brother SH40 Sewing Machine.

With 40 utility and decorative sewing stitches to choose from, including five different styles of one-step buttonhole, you’ll find the right look for whatever you’re working on. Being able to change the stitch length and width, and easily drop the feed dogs, gives you even more creative versatility.

Learning your craft and planning your new creative make is more than enough to think about. That’s why we’ve given the SH40 a slide speed control, Start/Stop button and reverse sewing button. They’re all handily located on the central control panel, so you can keep your hands on the most important thing – your sewing.

With F.A.S.T bobbin winding, a drop in bobbin and bright LED sewing light you’ll be set up to sew incredibly quickly.

Called in today having bought a 2nd hand Janome machine on ebay for an elderly relative. It was described as pretty much unused and had been sitting in a cupboard for 20 years, and it matched the description on arrival. I just wanted it checked over before giving it to its new owner, expecting to leave it for a week or so. Instead the manager of this shop asked to have a look at it, spent maybe 10 minutes looking it over and giving it a trial run stitching and confirmed its condition. We chose some cotton to go with the machine which was all we were charged for. He could not have been more helpful, obliging, personable & informative and the place itself has a quiet air of professionalism and expertise. Many thanks; recommended.

Couldn’t be more helpful, I have rung and visited the shop and have been met with such helpful accommodating people each time. Couldn’t recommend them enough. I was taught how to thread and sort my machine out after I was struggling with it even when I hadn’t purchased from them directly. Cannot fault these people
