No we're not going to tell you which sewing machine is the best value or the most reliable..! We're going to let users, in fact our customers tell you themselves..!
Presently we have over 1000 reviews on all types of sewing-related products. Choosing a new sewing machine can be a tough decision. Lots of machines look similar but all stitch in a different way. At any time when you want independent advice call us. We only sell leading brands and can advise on the best model for your needs.
We often hear..., how long it is likely to last? will it sew heavy fabric? how many stitches does it have? how easy is it to use? Use these consumer product reviews, rating stars, and buying advice pages to help make the most informed decision of which model and where to purchase. Don't forget we offer 30-day returns if you are still not 100% sure.

I'm not a frequent sewer but this machine is so easy ... I thought my mother's old Toyota had put me off sewing machines for life, and now here I am trying to invent new projects, because using was such a dream. Buying though Sewing machine sales was brilliant. I'd no sooner thought "maybe I should get a sewing machine" and a man was on the door step with it. Amazing service.

Although I really like the machine, I definitely would not have bought it had I known the full software package would cost an extortionate amount of money. Even professional use would struggle to justify spending this amount.

Amazing machine. What a revelation, it is so easy to use. I can’t believe how much better it is to my usual basic standard machine. Worth every penny.

Review by Elaine P
I've had my machine for 10 years now - it's finally developed a problem with timing (I think) it's stitching loops underneath and nothing I can do will solve the problem. As it will probably be too costly to have this fixed, and bearing in mind the use I've already had, I'm looking to replace this - with another 9960 (or possibly a 9985 which is basically identical motor etc but with a bigger repertoire of stitches). My 9960 has been excellent - I've discovered it sometimes cuts thread too close to the needle when spools are cross wound and the thread springs out of the needle. It also isn't keen on different weights of thread in bobbin and spool when doing fancy stitching. I've used this machine for dressmaking, furnishings, and several large patchwork bed quilts, using a walking foot and sewing slowly enough not to strain the motor, after all, this is not an industrial machine, and heavy fabrics can be a challenge to handle. This is an excellent machine for sewing craft items - I make lovely padded zip bags,it's great for clothes with perfect buttonholes - and you can be really lazy and use the machine to attach your buttons also, it's happy sewing zillions of bits of fabric into pathwork quilts and then quilting them for you. Really ideal machine. For me it would be absolute perfection if the bed were wider, but as I can't afford everything - this will do fine.

Amazingly fast delivery in less than 24 hrs! I have just tried out this machine through several different stitches and it is so easy to operate and control. I am absolutely delighted with the quality and the operation of this machine. Should have bought it ages ago. Thank you very much for your excellent service. I am well pleased.

I was looking for a light weight machine to replace my Mother in Law's old Singer Hand Sewing Machine and feel I have definitely made the right choice. Couldn't be more pleased - so easy to use - good instruction manual - compact yet sturdy and very light to move around. First Class Machine and First Class Service

Great machine. First time I have seen in years and very impressed with the modern facilities it has. Not having to thread the needle is a joy! Stitch functions are extensive.

Excellent purchase and very quick delivery. I had an old IKEA sewing machine that has done me well but finally given up. I didn't want anything fancy just the basics straight stitch and zig zag and it runs so smoothly, didn't even have to adjust the tension - brilliant machine - thank you.
