Which is best? Will it sew thick fabric?

Review by Barry Harris

Thank you to all your staff at Sewing Machine Sales, which I found to be, friendly, pleasant, and most helpful. I ordered a Silver Viscount 9500e at 09.00 on Tuesday 28 05 13. and took delivery at 08.30 the next morning. Ordered and delivered in less then 24. hours. How Brilliant is that. My wife is more then pleased with the machine, just as I am, with the professionalism and promptness in which the transaction and delivery was carried out. I will certainly be dealing with you again. Once again many thanks.

I looked at various Bernina & Janome machines. The Pfaff seemed to offer an equivalent build quality but with a higher specification, and at a more affordable price. I have not as yet had many opportunities to use my Performance 5.0 but I am very impressed with the overall package. The build quality is generally very good, with only the flimsy top lid spoiling an otherwise perfect finish. Mechanically it seems very robust. Sewing Machine Sales staff were both helpful & friendly, but were let down by their delivery agents on this occasion. However, to their credit, when they were made aware of the problem it was sorted out to our satisfaction without further delay. Overall I am very pleased with my new machine & I will certainly use Sewing Machine Sales again.

I am very pleased with this product so far. I have only used it a couple of times yet, but the reults were very good. I had my last machine for 10 years, I hope this machine will last at least that long.

This machine was delivered quickly. Excellent service. The machine is easy to use and there is plenty of space for quilting. However I feel it is let down by the poor quality of the foot pedal, this is hollow with a large gap/ hole in the bottom. It is a shame as I really like the machine itself. (STAFF COMMENT: "The hollow space underneath is a design feature that allows you to store the foot control cable away safely and in a tidy fashion")

Last week I purchased a Silver Vicount 9500e because my wife wanted to upgrade from her old basic machine. She chose this machine even though she had never used a computerised machine before. After refering to the instruction manual, she started working the machine, and fell in love with it, because of the simplicity, and brilliant results in all aspects, that was achieved. The Vicount 9500e is both sturdy and well designed with many extras, at a very resonable price. My wife says that she would recommend this machine to both beginners and experienced machinists. I could not have asked for anything more from Sewing Machines Sales, from ordering the machine to delivery was less than 24 hours, communication was brilliant, and the staff were friendly,helpful, and very professional. Many Thanks. Best Regards, B.Jay.

I bought this sewing machine without seeing it first which was a bit of a risk due to the price. I am thrilled with the Elna lotus. I have been looking around for a new machine since my old elna lotus ( one of the small metal ones) which I have had and loved for thirty years just ran out of steam. Nothing had come close in comparison & I had another machine to keep me going until I found the one to replace my old favourite. I was so excited when I found this on the sewingmachine-sales site & knew it had to be the one for me. The machine feels well made and is so easy to use thanks to a clear manual, you just tell it what to do, press the buttons & away it goes. It feels odd at first not using a foot pedal but you soon get used to it. The speed control on the front of the machine is very smooth & accurate. All the buttons respond immediately when pressed. I have had endless fun doing button holes with the huge foot, it's a very clever foot. All in all I am thrilled to bits with the purchase. For general sewing ie dressmaking, soft furnishings etc, I really don't think I could get better. The service I had from sewingmachine-sales was great too. The price was equally the cheapest I found but the next day, free delivery was exactly that. Fantastic!

I received my Singer Quantum last week. I have been a keen sewer all my life but have never had a new sewing machine, always second hand. I am amazed how technology has advanced with a machine that is all singing, all dancing, I don't even need to use the foot pedal or cut the threads. I can do so much with this machine, not only utility stitches but decorative and quilting, even free hand. It's wonderful with all the accessories I need. It's also whisper quiet to use and light enough to carry around. Delighted with my purchase and customer after sales service.

Review by Ellen M

I bought this for classes as my 7700 Horizon was too heavy and delicate to be moved every month. I think is is a great little machine, ideal for a beginner and well priced. Quilting is easy as the 1/4 inch foot from the 7700 fits this machine - you need to move the needle slightly to avoid it hitting the metal foot - just turn the width dial and it's done - no problem. Only thing missing is that there isn't an extending table and you can't buy one separately (looks like I need to get DH on to making me one in his workshop). A very good buy.

wow,I love it, I was advised be Kristian on the telephone about this machine and he was 100% correct, it matches my needs perfect, it is very quiet and has ample stitches, love the no peddle feature gr8 when winding bobbin so you can press the button and off it goes. Thanks again Kristian, you deserve a pay rise ;)
