Review by Emma D
100%I absolutely love this machine, it sews thick upholstery fabric like a knife through butter. It's well worth the money and very well built and will outlast any computerised models. It's much quieter than my old sewing machine and so much faster thanks to the more powerful motor. I was worried I would still need a separate serger for sewing stretch knits, but the stretch stitches combined with a walking foot work wonderfully for sewing t-shirts. Brilliant!

80%I am really happy with my new sewing machine. It's so easy to set up and use and is a lovely sturdy machine. I haven't got to grips with the needle threader but in fact the needle is really easy to thread without it. My only issue is the thread sometimes comes out of the needle eye so have to rethread the machine - but that might be user error

80%Bought as a gift from my daughter as I was having difficulty threading the needle on my 40-year-old Elna. This seems ideal as it has an automatic needle threader. Not had chance yet to give it a good test

Review by S NICHOLAS
100%Very good range of machines with very competitive prices. I needed a heavy-duty machine for horsey projects, as my 15 year old Singer died after much abuse. I selected the 5523 model which was described as going through any material and it does. Many thanks for a great machine and very fast delivery.

Review by Christine P
100%Big learning curve as more sophisticated than my last Singer. Wanted a heavy duty machine as I make a lot of blinds, curtains etc as well as clothing. Seems more robust and has extra useful features such as start/stop button and automatic tie off which I am finding invaluable.

100%Simple mechanical machine similar to a Singer I had for 40+ years. Does everything I need without being overly complicated or computerised. Appreciated the gift that came with it, and the help given when I rang for advice before purchasing. Arrived quickly and well packed.
