100%This is my first embroidery machine. I chose it because I've had many years of service from my Brother sewing machine and expect this one to be similar quality. So far, everything is going well. It is easy to use and the screen is simple to navigate. I'm going to buy a smaller hoop for small projects - it's a shame there is only one hoop included. A little more experimentation with different types of stabilizer required now I think!!

100%Although I ordered this item for someone else I did recommend your site and the Sewing Machine as I bought one from you when I was living in Cyprus in June 2006. I still have that sewing machine and wouldn't part with it, I bought a Janome Jem. I ordered it and it arrived within a couple of days, what fantastic service, and your service is second to none.

Review by Jayee L
100%I chose the Silver Viscount 1045 after much research and after trying it out for the last week I am very pleased with it. The manual is good and the machine is easy to use. I particularly wanted a machine with a top loading bobbin, an automatic needle threader, a one-step buttonholer, and the stop/start button with the speed control which means you can use it without the foot-control. It has all of these, an impressive number of stitches and is also light-weight and has a hard-cover. My first attempt at a buttonhole had an amazingly professional appearance and it is so easy, set it up, press the button and away it goes. On top of that, I found the people at Silver Viscount very helpful when I e-mailed them to ask if it could cope with materials from very fine to vinyl and leather - the answer - yes if you use the correct needle..

100%I really like this machine. It's easy to use and the instruction manual is easy to follow. Delivery was spot on. 10 year warranty and free sewing kit and pack of three different size scissors was great extra bonus. I am a novice at this, so a real good machine for even beginners!

Review by Lizzie S
100%I love to use my new Opal sewing machine. It feels larger than my old one. But in fact it is only slightly bigger by a few cm's. The difference is I can get more fabric through the gap under the arm when sewing big quilt sections. Now i can add my name to everything i make, often its hidden in seams. I am happy with my sewing results on this lovely machine.

Review by Aquilegia W
100%I love love love this machine, I moved from a different brand of sewing/embroidery machine to this Janome and I am so pleased I did. The stitch quality is fabulous so for that reason it was worth the change over from the other machine. The 9900 is very sturdy and as it has a permanent home on a large desk I leave the embroidery unit attached, as yet I've not tried ordinary sewing on it as I have other sewing machines. All in all, very happy and a good buy with fabulous service from Sewing Machine Sales. Thank You.

100%Just received my Toyota Super Jeans sewing machine today and after unpacking just had to try it out. SUPERB It does exactly what it says on the box. A fantastic machine and so easy to use. The box arrived at my door completely wrapped and watertight almost to the day you said it would. Brilliant service from the sales staff who were extremely helpful and courteous. Thank you for a completely stress-free experience.
