Very pleased to replace my vintage knitting machine with the SK840, with its potential for computer control through DesignaKnit software. A minor criticism of Silver Reed (rather than Sewing Machine Sales) was that the manual hadn't been properly updated for the computer control- though this didn't get in the way of getting on with knitting. The price was good, especially with free postage. Quick delivery. Lots of Christmas presents produced.

Amazing machine, I’m still learning even though I can appreciate the quality and the functionality with the intarsia tool, colour changer and the software. Highly recommended!!

Bought many items in the past and just received my SK840, fast delivery, a few issues but couldn't fault customer services. Issues sorted quickly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend.

Great machine - am loving the software that goes with it. Quick delivery too.

The machine arrived so quickly and well packed. The customer service team were very helpful, thank you. The instructions for setting it up are good although I have to say the DVD is a little old fashioned but does the job. I bought the Ribber also and have now got it all set up and ready to go, can't wait. I would certainly buy from this company again.

Fast delivery even to such a distace... I’m very satisfied with my purchase of SK840 though I would like to mention that if you tick the DAK8 along with the knitting machine you will get the standard version of the software. If you want other version it’s better to select it separately.
