Highly Recommended
I had my first brother innovis from Sewing Machines Direct 23 years ago! It had just one repair 10 years ago but it finally gave up on me last year. I had been using another mechanical machine since but there is nothing like a computerised one. The offer on the A60 is excellent value . It is a superb machine . The free sewing thread and scissors set are a really generous bonus.

A lovely experience
Russell was extremely helpful on the phone with me at 5:30pm on a Friday. He helped me change my thoughts on which model to buy based on my needs. Also very friendly.
The package was well packed and delivered exactly when promised.
A family business which was a big reason for me to buy from them to support in my own little way.
Thank you!

First class service
First class service. Bought my present machine from them and they will be my first choice for anything else. Servicing and repairs cannot be faulted. No hesitation in recommending them. They arranged pick up and delivery making life so much easier. Thank you.

I ordered an ex-demonstration machine on-line as a gift for my grandson. The order was placed after business hours but the machine was dispatched early the next day and delivered the following day. Everything was in it's original packaging with full instructions. We are absolutely delighted.

Order of cotton
Small order but came very quickly and was exactly as I expected. I did find the delivery a little expensive but I guess the reasonable cost of the cotton made up for it

Great service, excellent delivery and product
Thank you so much, ordered my daughter her first sewing machine. Everything from choice of selection, explanation of functions, ordering and brilliant delivery service were exceptional.
Very impressed and the sewing machine is just perfect for a starting machine.
Many thanks

Bent needle
Delivery was great. Customer service brilliant when contacted about accessory bundle.
Only problem was the needle inserted in machine was bent and took me ages to realise why it wouldn’t go down into the bobbin.

Right from the start the communication with this company was great. I emailed with an enquiry and got a prompt reply from Russell, the Director. I followed this up with a phone call and Russell answered all my questions. I placed an order and my sewing machine was delivered the next day. What great service!
Nice to ring up and have a person reply instead of pressing endless buttons and joining endless queues.

Excellent company and machine
I was looking for a sewing/quilting machine. I had been doing some research and narrowed my choices. I then stumbled on a Brother machine that had the same spec. I rang Sewing Machines Direct and they answered all my questions re the machine. I placed my order with them online. As promised the machine was dispatched the same day and delivered the following day. I'm very happy with the company, knowledge, reassurance, warranty and product provided. Would definitely recommend to others based on my personal experience.

Love this company and the way I was treated
Love this company and the way I was treated. I spoke to Russell over the phone, as I had put wrong information in the order form, he sorted this out super quick and my order was made. It even got delivered the very next day.
I will recommend this company to my sewing friends without hesitation. Love my new machine.
