parts for my overlocker i was looking for
Easy to locate items i was looking for
Excellent website in all aspects
Lovely descriptive website with all the necessary info. Can’t wait to get my new sewing machine!
Good range of products, easy to order, fast delivery
I found it easy to compare sewing machines and find one that was suitable, the site was simple to navigate, and ordering was a smooth experience (and I was able to use a discount code). Confirmation of my order was immediate, and follow up comms were helpful. Delivery was free and swift - ordered on Friday, delivered on Sunday. Very happy with my new machine.
Ordering was a breeze and website has good descriptions
The product description on the
Website seemed to match what I was looking for (Singer walking foot ) that will work with a Singer. Heavy Duty 4432 model. It even specified that this attachment I was for a low shank machine and that it was a screw on attachment . I also found genuine Singer bobbins which I was very happy with. Good descriptions help the consumer feel confident they are ordering the correct items. Website made it easy to order and received a confirmation of my order almost immediately. Very good shopping experience. Thank you.

The company provided a good appraisal of the Sewing machine I purchased with some free goodies. It was easy to place the order and the whole transaction went very smoothly. The price was very competitive and the free delivery was an excellent option.
Poor Experience – Misleading Info and Faulty Machine
I bought the Singer Patchwork Plus C5985Q from Singer Machines Ltd (not Singer direct) for £359. I paid in full for a pre-order and received no updates unless I chased by email—very stressful for such a high-value item.
The machine arrived with no protective packaging around delicate parts and no quality check indicators. It was damaged: the auto needle threader didn’t work. No manual was included—just a quick start guide and a link, which should’ve been made clear. As a first-time Singer buyer, I was left guessing how to use it.
I was offered £35 compensation, then told it was a “typo” and only given a 3% discount that didn’t even cover the broken threader. No responsibility was taken, and I was told it wasn’t covered under warranty—unacceptable for an item that arrived damaged.
When I asked about returns, the process was vague, with threats of deductions, shipping fees, and a restocking charge—costing me even more. I was also made to feel incompetent, being told I didn’t know how to use the threader, despite having used similar machines before.
This was my first and last time buying from Singer or Singer Machines Ltd. Poor packaging, no proper support, and no ownership of faults. I would not recommend.
Response to Company’s Reply
Thank you for your reply. I’m disappointed by the defensive tone and the dismissal of valid concerns. The issue wasn’t that I “didn’t know how to use the threader” but that it arrived damaged and didn’t function at all. Blaming the user for a broken part is not a resolution.
Your reference to my other reviews is irrelevant and unprofessional. As a paying customer, I expected a working product and transparent return terms—not accusations or deflection. The facts remain: I received a damaged machine, no manual was clearly advertised, and you refused to take responsibility. I stand by my review.

I stumbled across this website by accident when I googled a problem with my Singer sewing machine. I didn't expect to reach a UK site, nor find an almost non-existent part (in the US) for my Singer Quantum XL 6000. The part was reasonably priced, but the postage was a killer! It would have been nice to have another shipping option since it wasn't an urgent need. I will come back again if I have a hard to part.

How well the sewing machine works
I was so pleased with the machine I can’t even remember why I chose a different one. The only snag I have is how difficult it is to use the needle threader. It’s a nightmare. Otherwise the machine is brilliant.
Found exactly what I wanted at a good price
Found exactly what I wanted at a good price. Checked in as a guest. Didn’t realise billing address was different from delivery address. I live in France and have a UK bank card registered at my daughter’s address, but the items are being delivered to my sister’s address in a different county where we are visiting shortly. Bit of a faff to alter the details, but managed in the end. Thank you, Singer.
