Good machine

Whilst I experienced a few issues when ordering the machine, the machine was good and the managing director was very helpful.

Good value sewing machine

Searching the web for a new sewing machine, I came across a deal in HobbySew -a machine reduced by around £200. I phoned and got soem advice, including that it came with a carry bag (I was going to add one to the order). The machine came about 10 days later - apparently there was a delay in getting a batch of them in. All fine, except there is no carry bag with it, which is a bit disappointing. However happy with the machine and the price I paid.

sewing machine

Attractive sale price, VERY prompt delivery. Not used yet as it's a birthday gift for my daughter-in-law, so can't comment on the machine itself

Fantastic service, would recommend to anyone

First contacted HobbySew to get some advice about buying a sewing machine for my daughter. She has never used one before so it was essential I got as much advice as possible. The lady at HobbySew spent a quite a lot of time with me explaining what would be the right machine for a novice. After more research I eventually went back to HobbySew and bought the machine they recommended, I ordered it on a Monday and took delivery of it and the extras they sent by Thursday. Fantastic service and fantastic delivery no complaints what so ever. As far as the sewing machine goes onlt time will tell.

Jaguar 097 overlocker

Very pleased with machine and excellent price paid. Delivery was on 2nd day given, late evening, so no problems there. But receiving tracking details would have been helpful so that I didn't have to wait in for 2 days! Delighted with "free gifts" - beautiful set of scissors and 24 assorted threads. Looking forward to testing all the different ways of using this Jaguar overlocker after 20 years with my lovely Elna!!!!

Decor style 66 sewing machine

Amazing price for a top quality machine. Bought this for my wife for Christmas, received a free extension table and quilting kit with it too. what more could you ask for. Hobbysew is the best site by far.

Not good.

I finally received package after nearly two weeks, and two phone calls.
They took the money out of my account immediately after ordering.
They acknowledged my order, then there was no more communication from them. They should have told me why there was a delay in sending the item. I phoned them Monday 2nd Nov. a week after ordering, and was told it would arrive Thursday 5th. I stayed in all day and it didn't come. It finally arrived the next day. I should have been kept informed. There was no way I could track it myself.

Hi Joan,

Please accept our apologies for the delay in receiving your machine. I can see the original parcel was sent before being returned to us by Parcelforce as they could not locate your premises. We then re-sent the parcel on Wed 4th November with further delivery instructions. Although the delivery issue was outside of our control, I have refunded you £10 as a gesture of goodwill. We are now actively providing customers with tracking information to provide a better experience.

Best regards

You have called me " of"

I am still awaiting full delivery, which is not a problem. However, this review request is sent to Dear of and that is not my name.

Apologies, it seems the Trustpilot auto-invite to review system did not correctly pick up your name from our system. I will raise it with them. We would love to hear your feedback once you've tried your machine. Kind regards, Jason

Sewing machine purchase

Everything was plain sailing from the ordering through to delivery time. No problems & good communication.
The box that my machine was in was a bit bashed in but luckily no damage inside.

Brilliant

I am not really into computers but the live chat was so easy and I was able to ask questions as I was unsure what I wanted. Danielle was very helpful without being pushy. The price was good and my machine was delivered the next day, Thank You
