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!

Waited over a week items hadn’t even been shipped. Called online sales could barely hear them on the phone but was told one of the items are waiting from the supplier.
Poor form and no communication. Won’t be ordering online from you again.

Apart for a little delay in despatching the machine, I am well pleased with the experience. The machine arrived 2 days earlier than expected. No damage to the box at all. I have worked my way through the instructions and have sewn out a few sample stitches and I am pleasantly pleased with the quality. For reference I purchased a Singer Elite CE677 as my current Pfaff is “on its way out” and I mainly use a straight stitch machine and overlocker. Need to do buttonholes which I hate on the Pfaff machine. The Singer made a great buttonhole so I am happy. Thank you Hobby Sew.

Hobbysew did fine in their product…

Hobbysew did fine in their product selection and shipping. However, the Rit product dye I purchased was marked camel and has dyed my clothing cocoa or chocolate brown. It looks really bad now. I followed all the instructions except instead of leaving the fabric in the bucket for ‘up to 30 minutes or until the required colour (up to 60 minutes), I removed it after 1 minute when I saw it was making the fabric way too dark… I believe this may be a batch issue with Rit. When I contacted Rit they tried to gaslight me about the packet instructions and blame me for the problem.

I only received half my order

I only received half my order. The order took 10 days to arrive. The other two similar orders from other companies arrived in 2-3 days.
Edit - the company admitted fault and have sent replacements.

Easy and efficient shopping

Easy, efficient, great buying experience. I knew what I wanted, this store had it at a good price. Online buying was easy, shipping was very fast. Item was as described. Highly recommend
