Had to do a phone check as my bonus accessories arrived first before my machine, with no paperwork. Great deal, bonus accessories are fantastic extras. Love my machine!

Fast, efficient and great value for money

Ordering online was very easy. My compact sewing machine arrived in only a few days, and it was exactly as described. I was kept informed about the delivery throughout the process. Very happy and will use Hobbysew again.

Fast delivery

Even though I am yet to use the Janome sewing machine I was really impressed with the delivery time. Ordered it on the Friday before the long weekend and received it on the Tuesday.

Thank you for a speedy delivery.

My only issue was the lack of communication around delivery. There was no timely notification the purchase had shipped, and insufficient time to organise for someone to be home. It caused chaos in our daily logistics. But everything else was great.

A Safe and Easy Purchase

Hobbysew made this internet purchase a safe and easy experience. The order was dispatched quickly and I was well informed of the steps within this process. I would highly recommend Hobbysew to anyone considering a similar purchase.

Staff had an opportunity to help but chose not to. I purchased a new sewing machine and could not get it to work. I was told I would have to pay for the help or go completely out of my way on some random day when I really needed the help today. I also told the person I was going to buy another machine to replace the total waste of money machine. I could have come in and somebody could have helped me and I could have bought the machine. But no. Why would staff waste an opportunity to be unhelpful and to create ill will. I ordered the new machine from Singer at Seven Hills. I will never shop at Hobbysew again and the brand new useless machine is for the bin.
