Which is best? Will it sew thick fabric?

Review by Susan Bennett

This machine is everything Brother promises, a truly amazing embroidery machine. My only regret is that I did not take advantage of the software package that was on offer when you buy the machine at a discounted price.

I love my Husqvarna E20 so much I have just bought my niece one for her birthday. It is hugely functional and yet simple to use and is lightweight enough to carry easily anywhere.

Review by Amateur Pensioner

An easy to use and understand, well designed and constructed machine for even a mature person; initially bought to make our own curtains. Very easy to thread first time, which helps ageing eyes. We tried it out on a fine polyester lining which was handled brilliantly as was a medium weight satin dress material. The reverse lever is well positioned to be used by the fingers of your right hand. Quite and vibration free in use, neat and consistent stitching. The variable maximum speed control and the needle lift/lower button are well worth the extra money above the price of the 116 model. The only niggle is the length of the needle clamp screw, which can catch your fingers at times.

This is my wife's 3rd Husqvarna sewing machine (not counting 2 overlockers), and this clearly is her favorite. She is most impressed with how solid it is - as a big embroiderer, she needs the embroidery extension to be substantial, move smoothly, and ensure that the designs 'register' correctly, which this one does. She always used the 8 spool rack on her Diamond and Designer SE because she said the horizontal feed spilled thread, and didn't feed correctly when vertical and turning. The Epic's vertical pins solve this. Other features she loves? The larger capacity bobbin, especially with stitch intensive designs like free-standing lace. My SewNet, which makes organizing all her designs between the software on her laptop and the machine so much easier. While she is enjoying exploring the new touch screen, the real fan of that feature and the JoyOS Advisor is our granddaughter! She was previously somewhat intimidated by "Nana's machine" but now that she can get detailed instructions (and actually show Nana what to do), she leaps right in there. So yes, it's been a joy for everyone, including me as I get 'extra credit' for buying it for her!!

I received this machine today and am over the moon with it. It is quiet and stitches extremely well. There are a good selection of utility and decorative stitches for all my sewing needs. I primarily bought this machine for the Oekaki mode and the Superjeans gliding foot as I often work with heavy fabrics and am forever turning up trousers and jeans for my partner! The machine was delivered on time and I have been very impressed with the service that I have received from this company. When placing my order and asking for advice all of the staff that I have dealt with have been extremely helpful, kind and courteous throughout. Thank you to everyone at Sewing Machine Sales.

We bought the Janome 525S for our daughter at Christmas. Sewing Machine Sales were very helpful in choosing the right machine for her requirements and delivery. was very quick. The machine is very simple / intuitive to use and the instruction book is very easy to follow. It is a great machine for a beginner, but has enough to features to satisfy her developing skills. The machine feels very solid and well made with a robust hard carrying case. The additional free gifts provided were very useful and all you need as a beginner.

Excellent machine, so easy to setup and start sewing. Fast delivery using DPD courier, giving time of arrival. Will certainly recommend this company and use again in the future.

Review by Kerry Sleeman

Beautiful, high quality machine, I am a complete novice but I can already see that this machine will see me through for many years. The price was just fantastic and the free gifts are amazing. One of the gifts was out of stock and that has just arrived. The service from Sewing Machine Sales has been second to none. Thank you I could not be happier.

Very happy with the 197 purchase it arrived well packed and on time. The price was good with extras I wasn't expecting. The table is great and the machine was easy to set up and use. I would recommend to new and experienced sewers.
