Review for: Brother PQ1600S Straight Stitch Sewing and Quilting Machine

I've been sewing for several years now, and GUR has always been my go-to for all my sewing needs. Their customer service is second to none—always incredibly helpful when I need advice, and delivery is consistently prompt and reliable. I’ve had this machine for just over a week, and I’m totally smitten. It may only do one stitch, but it does it brilliantly. I’m currently breezing through a large quilt with ease, and the results are fantastic. Highly recommend!

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A150 Sewing and Quilting Machine

The Brother Innov-Is A150 machine is simply amazing, more importantly the right one for me. I did do a fair bit of research prior to picking this exact brand and model, there was a bit of gliche with the delivery process which was very quickly sorted. I've already completed my first quilt within a week of having the machine and it has worked like a marvel. Troubleshooting and other instructions are freely available and there's no issue accessing this information, as and when required. Cannot wait to get going with some more projects soon!

Review for: Novum Pro Q100 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

I have been after a sewing machine with a larger throat for a while now. I kept coming back to the q100. I eventually decided to call the shop and seek their advice. What a lovely man. He spent about an hour on the phone asking me what I wanted to sew, how often, fabrics I wanted to use etc. He came up with a list of three and then told me to go away and have a think about it. So I did. And I still came back to the Novum Q100. And how pleased am I. Its a size that's for sure, but not unmanageable. The sewing area is larger than I have been used to and makes for a little work area for pins and such. The needle up/down function is a joy, and the lock stich is too. There are enough functions to be excited by but not over awed by. The touch screen is intuitive and it comes with a paper …

Review for: Novum Pro Q100 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

The Novum Pro Q100 has completely elevated my sewing experience — especially for quilting and large patchwork projects. As someone who works on everything from king-size quilts to intricate piecing, the extra-long 11" arm space has been an absolute game-changer. No more struggling to manoeuvre bulky layers — there’s room to work comfortably and precisely. The machine came with an impressive range of accessories and presser feet, including walking foot, quilting guide, and free motion foot — the kind of kit you'd expect from a much higher-end machine. I was also genuinely impressed by how quiet yet powerful the motor is. It glides through layers of wadding and denim without hesitation. The delivery from GUR Sewing Machines was incredibly fast and well-packaged. …

Review for: Novum Pro Q100 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

The Novum Pro Q100 has truly transformed my sewing experience. The extra-long arm provides exceptional space, making it perfect for quilting and handling larger projects with ease. It’s not only powerful and user-friendly but also packed with advanced features—like the automatic thread cutter, knee lift, and intuitive touchscreen that streamline the sewing process and save so much time. I was especially impressed by the wide range of accessories and presser feet included, many of which are typically only found with premium machines. Excellent value for money and ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their sewing setup. To top it off, the delivery from GUR was fast and efficient. I couldn’t be happier with both the product and the service — I’d highly …

Review for: Novum Pro Q100 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine
The Novum Pro Q100 has been a game changer for my sewing. The extra-long arm gives loads of space for quilts and larger items, and the built-in features—like the auto thread cutter, knee lift, and touchscreen—make sewing smoother and faster. It’s easy to use, powerful, and packed with features and it has plenty of accessories and feet usually found in higher-end machines. Overall an excellent machine for quilting and large projects, it's great value for money! I Was really impressed with the speedy and efficient delivery, would highly recommend GUR to everyone. Thank you for my machine. I look forward to many happy sewing hours!

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

I brought this machine after doing some research in what would work best for me and what I plan to sew. It's a lovely machine and works great. I have only used it a few times yet and not used all the functions but I do plan to get in to some projects. It's easy to load the thread, speed control is the button to slide. I do currently refer to the manual on how to set it up and do things which is very detailed. I chose GUR Sewing Superstore as its local to me and if ever needed anything I could pop in to the shop and liaise with the staff. Great buy I'm happy with it.

Review for: Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine

I wanted a basic machine with a large throat space to use on my new Cutie Breeze Quilting frame.

I’m very happy with the machine.

I haven’t used it on the frame yet as I wanted to use the machine on its own first to get used to it but I’ve a few things on it now and I’m very happy with it.

The size of the throat is great, looking forward to using it on my frame, hopefully next week 😊

Review for: Novum Pro Q400 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine
I ordered a Novum Pro Q400, and I was extremely impressed with the fast delivery, as it arrived the very next day. After using it extensively, I can confidently say that it is an outstanding machine, perfect for all my freehand embroidery and patchwork projects. The quality, precision, and ease of use have exceeded my expectations, making my sewing experience more enjoyable and efficient. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performing sewing tool.

Review for: Janome 5270QDC Sewing and Quilting Machine

I ordered from GUR on 2 previous occasions. This is my second Janome sewing machine and it is superb. I have a Janome Sewist 525S, which I've always liked but decided it was time to upgrade to a computerised machine. I decided to go up a couple of notches and I am vert pleased I did. It was an easy transition and this machine is a dream. The only feature I've not tested is the button holes, but I have used the machine to darn so know the button foot works.The machine arrived safely, quickly and the package tracking was perfect.I did not leave a review until after Christmas as this was a present and so only been given a proper outing in the last few days.

Review for: Novum Pro Q400 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

I’ve had this machine a few months now, because I wanted to give it a proper use before leaving my review. I bought this machine for free motion quilting, to use on my Freestyle quilting frame - I’d been using a Brother NV1800Q (which also doubles as my main sewing machine) but wanted more throat space.

I used the Novum straight out of the box to quilt a bed sized quilt, and I’m really impressed with it. I’ve used Brother machines for more than a decade and was a bit nervous to buy a machine from a brand unknown to me, but the Novum actually performs better than the Brother with quilting.

The Brother seemed to require a specific combination of needle, thread and speed to get good quality results, but the Novum performed perfectly with whatever …

Review for: Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine

I bought this Pro Q9 instinctively after struggling to sew layered projects with my main machine. Well, I have to mention I’m really impressed! It produces excellent stitches, has a long arm for handling wider projects, and it effortlessly keeps up with my pedal speed.

Review for: Novum Pro Q500 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

I decided to upgrade from my Brother sewing machine, looking for a model with more arm space to accommodate everything from small projects to large quilts. The Novum Pro Q500 has met all my expectations! It includes every feature my Brother lacked: a knee lifter for hands-free presser foot control, faster sewing speeds, consistent stitches (even at high speeds), a built-in thread cutter, a drop-in bobbin and it's still computerised. I’ve even seen quilters use the Novum Pro Q500 on a long-arm rig to topstitch quilts. Although I was initially hesitant about the higher price, I’m thrilled with my choice. I did encounter some minor tension issues during the first few uses, but they quickly resolved, and I haven’t had any problems since. Right now, I’m working on a …

Review for: Novum Pro Q400 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

My husband saw this on your website and thought it would be a good fit, as I was looking for a new machine. Checked it out as machine site were new to me. Using the site was easy straight forward and quick once placed my order was quick to arrive. On arrival machine was as described and on using exceeded my expectation. Still learning with it but over the moon with it ,can give more info when I've used it more. Also received a courtesy email making sure it arrived which was a nice touch. Looking forward to my new relationship with GUR

Review for: Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine
I am very pleased with my new machine. After a tentative start, I soon was able to make progress with help from Palma at the support team. I appreciate the extended space between the needle and the arm which enables more bulky sewing easily. The added level space of the optional surround table is also helpful in keeping the material flat and easy to manipulate. I am now progressing to free embroidery which I have done before and have had no problems transferring to my new machine.

Review for: Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine
I have been impressed with the Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine. The delivery was fast, the packaging perfect and the machine undamaged and ready to go. I needed the machine as a portable unit for sewing canvas boat covers. I am not professional, but own two boats that seem to have a lot of canvas! I have just replaced a window in one of the covers and the machine coped very well. I have had to do a slight modification as my sewing twine comes on a 5000m cob that does not fit the machine, but the fix was easy. I have an Adler heavy duty machine set up in my garage, but that may be obsolete now. The Novum Walking Foot is still to be judged. I am not wholly convinced it is an improvement on the standard foot although maybe I am being unfair as it was working on plastic see-…

Review for: Novum Pro Q400 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine
After a postage issue, (not GURs fault) that GUR resolved very promptly, I took delivery of the Novum Pro Q400 sewing machine. I'll be honest, it's not a brand I know anything about so did take a punt - and I am so glad I did. What a great machine!! Feels sturdy in use and is relatively quiet compared to my previous machines. Even today, it's quilting a baby quilt quite happily without a walking foot, but I will be getting one soon. The only cons for me, are that it doesn't have a serpentine stitch which is my favourite quilting stitch and that you can't move the needle manually. Give Novum brand a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised

Review for: Novum Pro Q500 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

Very easy to shop on line. Delighted with the Novum Pro 500q. I have upgraded from a domestic sewing machine. And am just studying all the quilting programs and books so I can enjoy quilting and have a bit of confidence to use the machine for its full potential.

Review for: Novum Pro Q400 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine
I am an intermediate to advanced skills in sewing and crafting. Although my faithful Janome sewing machine has served me well for 38 years, it's beginning to show its age. Now that I've retired and have a grandchild to make things for, I finally have the time to explore new sewing projects like embroidery and quilting. Unfortunately, my old machine isn't equipped for these tasks. I'm in need of a fast and versatile sewing machine that can handle various projects including clothing, costumes, curtains, pillows, and napkins. Since I already have a Novum overlocker that I adore, my initial plan was to explore Janome sewing machines. However, the abundance of Janome models has made it challenging to narrow down my choices. I came across the Novum Pro 400, which seems to meet all my …

I have just bought this machine so am still getting used to it. I have created a Novum Sewing Group on Facebook so if you'd like to increase your knowledge or share experiences please join.

Review for: Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine
I bought this machine because I am a quilter and needed a machine with a bigger throat space and as few fancy stitch options as possible. I was not disappointed. This is a wonderful machine that sews like a dream. The stitch precision is fantastic as is the tension. Feeding the fabric through is very smooth and I could not be happier. The machine is extremely good value for money; even more so since I bought it on sale (and it came with a free extension table). The service from GUR was exemplary. I sent two emails with questions and got a swift reply. I was a bit of a nuisance asking them to double check a measurement, and they did. In short, I cannot recommend the shop or the machine enougth, and I look forward to many years of joyful sewing.

Review for: Novum Pro Q500 Long Arm Computerised Sewing Machine

My sister bought me this machine as I was looking for a slightly bigger one. I seen this and done loads of research on it but I just kept coming back to it. I knew I had to get it as it was the machine for me..I love how quiet it is and elegant and professional it looks. I haven't played around yet with the stitches or anything else on it. I make quilts and was the perfect machine. For me to experiment with.I would highly recommend this am hone as you get excellent value for money and definitely won't be disappointed.I shall leave another review once I have had it longer and played around with everything it has. But thank you GUR machines for such an excellent value for money machine and I have to say the delivery time was 100% quick.

Review for: Janome Memory Craft 9480 QC Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is a stunning machine -,have had it for about six weeks as a step up from my Horizon 7700 and have yet to use all the fabulous features. With the Accurate Stitch regulator and large extension table included in the intro offer, I truly believe this will be my last 'new' machine purchase. Thank you GUR for your usual prompt and professional sale and delivery

Review for: Novum Pro Q9 Long Arm Sewing Machine

I am absolutely thrilled with my new sewing machine. Recently, I've ventured into dressmaking, patchwork, and bag making, I realised it was high time to upgrade from my old sewing machine. After testing out a few options at a local sewing class, I decided on the Novum Q9.

What stood out to me the most was how incredibly quiet it is, the user-friendly interface, and the fact that it offers all the functions I could possibly need, and even a few extras.

I was especially amazed at how effortlessly it handles various thicknesses of fabrics. After conducting some research, I discovered that GUR was offering this machine at a more competitive price than any other retailer. What truly impressed me, though, was the swiftness and efficiency of the ordering process. I placed my …

Review for: Janome 5270QDC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Excellent machine which is able to do many things. So far I've hemmed a wedding dress in satin and altered bridesmaids dresses in floaty chiffon, the machine handled both fabrics very well. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Review for: Janome HD2200 Sewing and Quilting Machine

This sturdy sewing machine is my 2nd one. It sews through thick layers of fabric, but handles the sheer fabrics with ease. I like it has a great array of stitches and a one step buttonhole facility.Would recommend this machine if you are a heavy user, I use mine 6 days a week

Review for: Janome 725S Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is a great machine. Thank you to GUR for a great package.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Nice easy machine to use, smooth action. Tried the button hole function and it did miss a couple of stitches, also the automatic threading is a little fiddly which kind of defeats the object. However, on the whole a good machine for the money.

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

What a fantastic machine. Sew's beautiful. I would definitely recommend this machine 👌

Review for: Janome 725S Sewing and Quilting Machine

Great sturdy machine for general sewing. Suits beginner to more experienced seamstress

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

I am so pleased with the quality of the Janome HD9, it is so sturdy, solid, fast, easy to use and goes through thick seams like you'd expect from a HD machine. I like the separate bobin motor and it means that you don't have to unthread your machine to wind the bobin, it's set up with it's own thread holder. This machine only does straight stitch, no zig-zag, button holes etc etc but it is built to just sew, sew, sew! It is a heavy machine but I'm getting used to that, I think it would be best though, set up on a table or similar and left with it's cover over rather than having to lift and carry every time you want to sew but of course the weight of the machine is also a plus as it won't move about when you drag heavy fabric, leather or other materials …

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

This machine is amazing, the perfect stitch! So robust and simple to use. Service from GUR was brilliant. Highly recommend both the machine and the shop.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Have finished a long-standing project to make removable covers for 2 outdoor sofas. The overlocker did the work in short time with beautiful finish inside and out. Needed to change thread and it was easy to follow instructions. My sister is a DT teacher and was very impressed when she saw how easy it is to access the interior for threading and cleaning. Delighted with my purchase. My daughter had the sewing machine for her birthday and has started some simple projects. She is also pleased with the results and loves being able to sew without a foot pedal. Both Jaguar machines have a good quality feel and we are very happy so far.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Purchased to replace my Singer that I’d had for over 40 years and I’m absolutely buzzing with it. It has so many features that my old machine didn’t, lots more stitches and is so quiet. I was a little apprehensive and I must admit the price persuaded me to give this Jaguar DQS 377 a chance and I’m so glad I did. I’ve not used it to it’s full potential just yet but I’m impressed with the 4/5 hours I played around with it when it was delivered yesterday. I ordered Sunday morning and it was delivered Tuesday morning, how’s that for service, impressive, thankyou GUR , one very happy customer. Love the free sewing bag too, thankyou.

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

Love this machine , it's excellent. Only slight criticism is the access to the bobbin, It's a bit fiddly to fit and retrieve.

Review for: Janome 5270QDC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Super machine! A huge step up from my first Janome and a considered purchase, but worth it. The knee lift is a real game changer for applique and there are so many stitches to choose from. Although I'm still learning about the machine and what it is capable of, I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Review for: Brother Innov-Is VQ2 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Having had the machine a few weeks and taken time to get used to its various functions (but not all of them yet!) I have to say I am extremely happy with it. Apart from it looking sleek and ergonomic I love the full colour screen, and video tutorials, the simple, clear way each stitch is described and the modifications you apply (length, width) are displayed on screen as you alter them so no guessing! Using it for quilting a lot of the time the long throat length is perfect, and it has an impressive array of feet and attachments. A nice touch is being able to drop the feed dogs for FMQ from a button on the LCD display screen - no removing the extension table and reaching round to the back of the machine for an up/down lever. The amount and variety of decorative stitches are amazing, …

Review for: Janome Memory Craft 8200QCP SE Sewing and Quilting Machine

I bought this machine for my husband, he was always using mine. I am so jealous.

It is amazing and he is doing so well considering he has only ever sewn skin before. (He was a surgeon) now he has made a quilt which is the envy of al of our children and has a lot of orders from them.

I have not had a look in so far but i am biding my time for when he has a day off. It runs like a dream, so quiet and very easy to manage. The extras are really good. Wish i had one too.

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

I am loving my new machine; I have struggled with free motion quilting for years using a small Janome domestic machine and a larger husqvarna domestic machine. Skipped stitches eyelashes and broken thread, straight from the box I had no problem and am now quilting with rulers and becoming pleased with the results. So, thankyou it was worth the wait, and the service you provided was excellent. Should I have problems in the future I will be in touch for some help.

Brilliant machine so far, excellent service ordered on a Friday received it on the Saturday. Customer service was excellent when i ordered it and the guy was very helpful.

My only regret is not buying it sooner !!

Review for: Brother Innov-Is NV15 Sewing and Quilting Machine

I have not had a new machine since I was 18 - then spent the last 25 years wearing out machines family cast-offs so when my last second hand machine bit the dust I decided the time had come to treat myself. However lockdown put paid to the in store experience so a neighbour lent me her Brother LX17 - a basic machine but impressive and my first experience of a Brother. After many many hours reviewing different models and now looking to incorporate one that was easy enough for my daughter to learn to machine sew with and to meet my current needs I chose the Innov-is NV15. Still getting to grips with the auto needle threading - there is definitely a knack to it - but as to the rest, just love it. Machine feels solid but easy enough to move. Love the threading & bobbin guides …

The Brother Innovis A50 is a great machine and the service from GUR was also great. From my first call to Palma who answered the phone to me, I have nothing but praise for this company. My friend told me about it, and it was a great choice. I haven't used/tried the machine much yet, but what I have has been great. The self threading device has come on wonderfully in recent years, and for anyone who knew this self threading device years ago and knew how difficult it was, this is totally different. Just fantastic and soooo easy.

This was a fantastic upgrade from an old Brother 8015. I'm so happy with the machine: it's really easy to use, has all the stitches I need, and it's really quiet. GUR sent out the machine really quickly (and for free) and it only took a couple of days to arrive.

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A50 Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is an absolutely amazing machine, I did a lot of research before I bought this particular one and I looked at all the range. This one for me ticked all the boxes and more. It is lightweight at 6.4kg excellent for moving around. The best feature for me is the auto needle threader I am blown away with it. It is even better than my other branded machine! When you are looking for a new sewing machine it is important to research them even the other models and it is also important to know what features you want. And for me this was it. It is also good to have a budget.

I am fairly new to seeing (dug out my old sewing machine over lockdown) and had just caught the bug when it died on me. I felt like I needed advice and read a lot of reviews online, but also wanted extra reassurance (my old machine wasn’t computerised) and so also rang gur for advice. They were very responsive and super helpful, and my new machine was with me 24 hours later. I love it. A huge and unexpected bonus is the fact I can sew without the foot pedal adjusting the speed manually - great to not have the lead underfoot as I frequently need to move my machine on and off the table. I also love the needle threader, and find threading the bobbin super easy. A lot of this is standard on computerised machines - I chose this model to give me extra stitches and to have a twin …

Review for: Janome 725S Sewing and Quilting Machine

I bought this machine as an all-round workhorse.
I did a lot of research before deciding on this model, which when I saw it had been used on the Great British Sewing Bee with such ease, confirmed my decision.
I have been playing around with it and it is a real joy to use. It has all of the features I will need. It feels sturdy and whilst sewing it is very stable and quiet.
I have tried various stitches, made a couple of automatic buttonholes and got to grips with the automatic needle threader.
I am really pleased with the included accessories, can't think of anything else I would need at the moment. I do love that there is an extra spool holder to refill the bobbin.
I consider myself an intermediate sewer but I think this model would be …

Review for: Janome 725S Sewing and Quilting Machine

The sewing machine arrived the day after I had ordered it. I did a great deal of research before buying this machine. I also know people who have had a Janome (the same machine) for almost 30 years and therefore had confidence in the brand. The Janome 725S is far better than all the reviews I have read. The machine is relatively quiet and super easy to use. It would suit a beginner as well as a more advanced sewer. I am absolutely thrilled with it and I thoroughly commend it to you.

Review for: Janome 740DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

I bought this machine based on it being a best seller. She is a good strong study build and loves to work on woven material. Her stitch selection is nice and is the stitches themselves. This machines in any to noisy either. Although the start up noise is odd! But that said, She does not like twin needle even with a organ needle (for the machine) really dislikes it actually and skips stitches non stop and kills itself. I’ve used it 10 times since getting it on my kids tops to hem or leggings to hem. I avoid using it as I wanted twin needle and a machine happy with stretch fabric and even after a blast of steam it isn’t great. I go for my 1975 sewing machine and she finishes it off for me (twin needle too) after things have been overlocked. Personally I dislike this …

Review for: Janome HD2200 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Used for about a week now and it is performing very well. Only very minor issue I have found is that the thread cutter cuts threads too short which results in the thread pulling out of the needle.

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

Very good machine, great for thick fabrics

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

As a beginner sewer I did quite a bit of research into what type of machine to buy with the hope that I would become a better sewer! I absolutely love this machine and all the things it does. I have managed to sew a few small items and have found it very easy and stress free. The number of different stitches available is phenomenal and the built in button holes are fab. This machine is very easy to use and as a beginner it has made things very easy, I particularly like the fact that I can slow the machine using the button on the front, brilliant for going round corners! All in all I would thoroughly recommend this machine and the service I have received from GUR sewing machines.

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A150 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Very pleased with purchase. Great service and communication from GUR. It was a shame that the pressing mat was not available and would also suggest it might be useful to add a packet of bobbins to your 'offers' when purchasing a new Sewing Machine. Would happily buy products again from this company.

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

This machine is so easy to set up and use, but don't let that make you think it is just for beginners. This machine has a multitude of functions and options which provide the operator a huge amount of control over all aspects of use. It allows flexibility across the board and isn't complicated for the sake of it. In my opinion, this machine is great whether you just want to sew a straight line or if you are embarking on a complex design project. I ordered the machine after the store had closed on the Friday of the Bank Holiday weekend, but despite this the machine was delivered quickly, with tracking updates along the way. I would also like to add that the advice and help I was given by GUR was second to none. They rang me back after I left a message - despite it being …

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A150 Sewing and Quilting Machine

I bought this new machine to replace an old 25 year old singer. Wow! Wishing I had upgraded sooner. It’s quiet and smooth and does much more than is really needed. I haven’t mastered all of the stitches yet and I’m not sure the lettering is as good as it seems but I would definitely pick this machine again.

Review for: Janome Atelier 6 Anniversary Edition Sewing and Quilting Machine

Love it. Took a few goes to get the hang of all the features, but I would recommend it as a step up from the basic computerised model

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Excellent replacement for my 30 year old previous machine. Will handle all I require of it and more. I was not looking to spend a fortune and this machine was well priced and has all the features that I was looking for. I did not need 100's of differing stitch choices or more than a basic number of ways to sew buttonholes. Wonderfully quiet to use and the extra wide table will be well used. I must emphasize that the needle up/needle down feature is a must! Very pleased with my purchase from GUR.

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Fabulous machine. My old machine had started playing up and I was looking for a change. After much research and comparison, I decided that the Janome was the machine for me. I'm thoroughly enjoying using it and have made several items since purchase.

Review for: Janome Atelier 6 Anniversary Edition Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is a sophisticated and well-designed machine. It has many facilities which it does well. The machine is large but the construction is excellent.

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is an excellent machine with some great features. Have been using it for a few weeks now and love it. Easy to use and great value.

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Great Machine, easy to use. Made my sewing so much more enjoyable.

Review for: Brother Innov-Is NV15 Sewing and Quilting Machine

so happy with my choice. simple to set up and use. Runs quietly light to handle. fantastic for a new or returning to sewing crafter.

Review for: Janome DKS30 Special Edition Sewing and Quilting Machine

I purchased the DKS30SE as I wanted a computerised model that was fairly basic. I already own other (Janome) machines that have a large variety of built in stitches and as this machine will be used mainly for dressmaking, patchwork and general sewing, it is perfect. I really like the fact that the stitches are clearly displayed on large buttons and also the foot that is needed. By the press of a button the machine will set stitch width and length but there is the capability to make adjustments. All of the B category feet I have for my Jem Platinum fit the machine. For me, the feature I love the most has to be the thread cutter and the needle threader! This is a fabulous machine and would be ideal for a beginner or an experienced sewist. It has already fit very nicely into my machine …

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

After completing university 2 years ago ive been on the search for a “proffesional” or “propper” sewing machine to manage my bridal wear projects! Whilst i own a janome domestic machine and have done for over 10 years i can honestly say nothing compares to the Janome HD9. I would highly reccomend, everything about is so glorious! Having used Juki’s at University (machines built into tables) i was a bit apprehensive about how this machine was going to behave! Its solid, high qaulity and able to complete the tasks at hand with ease! If you want a professional sewing machine which you can transport around (its very heavy though) this is the one for you! Very well suited to my dressmaking needs! And thank you to Gursew for a swift delivery, you guys are Ace!…

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Really good machine, easy to use. I ordered during lockdown but it still came next day. Thanks GUR

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Fabulous machine and extra wide table is a real bonus. I highly recommend this machine.

Review for: Janome 360DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A150 Sewing and Quilting Machine

The brother A150 is amazing! Wish I’d brought one ages ago! Smooth, stylish and soooo easy to use! Treat yourself!

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

I love this machine, powerful yet quiet and great for lots of layers. Just love it, wish I got it sooner. I did buy the narrow foot which is a great addition for fiddly bits

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

Came as promised, not brilliantly packaged but no damage thankfully. An awesome machine

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

Absolutely love that machine.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

A lovely machine: solid, quiet and a great range of stitches. Have made two children's aprons so far and the stitching is super. A very easy machine to use. I haven't sewn for a few years and loved my old, solid machine, this one is a great replacement and upgrade. Highly recommend.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

A great improvement over my old machine. Much quieter and sews smoothly and evenly keeping the tension correct. I have successfully tried the buttonhole function but not tried everything yet.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

A great machine and good value in the sale.

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine

Great machine seed through multiple layers easily - great service from GUR - ordered Saturday received on Tuesday! I bought lots of extras with this machine - highly recommended!!

Review for: Janome Atelier 6 Anniversary Edition Sewing and Quilting Machine

I spoke to Palma yesterday about a new item and today I took delivery of my Janome Antelier 6. My old item which is about 20yrs old has no whistles or bells so i was a little worried about being able to use all the different stitches and setting up this new one. I got it straight out of the box and firstly filled a bobbin and put it i, then i threaded the item and used the automatic needle threader. It was a breeze. I sat and tried out some of the lovely applique' stitches and it was all so very easy, the item told me which feet to use for the different tasks, making it ver easy to use. The item sits still and just purrs along. I cant wait to get started on my first quilt. Thank you so much Palma for your help and patience, not once did you pressure me, you answered all my …

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

I am very pleased with my sewing machine which as replaced my old Pfaff creative machine.

The machine is wonderful and sews like a Rolls Royce but only cost a mini! Since I received it I have made several tops, dresses and even a bag.

I have called it Erik after the delivery man who arrived exactly when he should have. Many thanks to you all at GUR for encouraging me to buy this model, so far I have not regretted it.

Happy sewing.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

I bought this as a temporary and cheap solution to use when I'm away from home. To be honest I didn't expect much at all from the performance of this machine because it's so basic but on my first time using it I was so Impressed! The first thing i noticed was how quiet it was! I know of many other machines on the market in this price range and also some higher end sewing machines that are not as quiet as this one. This is a quality built machine that is very sturdy and light to carry which would be fantastic for anybody taking sewing classes for example. The first thing i did was stitch out all the stitches available so I could assess the quality of each stitch pattern, not only were they reasonably good quality but the machine sewed so smoothly which I love! The reverse …

Review for: Janome Memory Craft 8200QCP SE Sewing and Quilting Machine

I went to see GUR Sewing Machines at their shop in Birmingham so I could see the 8200, and they were lovely, I had a demonstration, I was shown all of the basics and more. I already have a Janome but have been looking for a new item for quite a while. As soon as I started using this item I had to have it, works so very good, the quality is fantastic, definitely worth the trip to Birmingham. Highly recommend.

Review for: Janome M50QDC Sewing and Quilting Machine

This machine replaces a 24 year old one, so had a lot to live up to. It is incredibly straightforward to use. I unpacked it and started sewing. The stitches are neat and simple to select and it's easily controllable so my teenage daughter can use it. I mostly sew curtains and do repairs, which it is perfect for. I haven't tried anything more ambitious, however the bonus pack with extension table and extra feet, will allow me to do varied projects. Also the two speed foot pedal suggests applique should be possible.

Review for: Janome 740DC Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is the best machine I've owned, it is so simple to use, works equally well with net, fleece material or leather and the automatic buttonhole stitch is amazing. I cannot praise this machine highly enough and it has helped renew my enthusiasm for sewing. Thank you Janome and GUR.

Review for: Janome DKS100 SE Sewing and Quilting Machine

This machine takes all the effort out of sewing. The automatic buttonhole feature has to be seen to be believed, press one button and the whole thing is done for you to the exact size of your button. Amazing! Despite the incredible number of features it's not difficult to use at all. My only worry (as with all computerised machines) would be that if the electronics go wrong then the whole machine would be stuffed but hopefully there are years of good use before that is likely to happen.

Review for: Janome DKS30 Special Edition Sewing and Quilting Machine

I am really pleased with thus machine. The machine is very heavy and is made mostly of metal parts as far as i can tell. The needle arm cover opens easily so i can clean inside the machine. I am exceptionally pleased with the speed i have found i can go full speed to slow instantly or vice versa without thread problems like my last machine. I also prefer the LED lights its much brighter than the standard bulb. This came with a hard cover which was great! Overall the machine runs really well without problems and has become my favourite machine so far!

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A150 Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is a great machine, as I already own three other Brother machines (one embroidery machine and three sewing machines counting this one) I have found that it is easy to use, good sturdy machine that will sew through a range of fabrics without any problem. I use this machine for my quilting classes as it is light enough to carry in my machine bag. Easy bobbin and top threading and with having other Brother machines they all operate the bobbin and top thread the same way so there is no problem of having to re-think how to thread which is a great benefit to the sewer.

 

Excellent range of utility and decorative stitches as well as satin stitches and monogram lettering. The automatic setting of a lock stitch at the commencement of your project and the end …

Review for: Brother Innov-Is A50 Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is a lovely machine and is lightweight which makes it easy to carry to class or around the home, with a good variety of stitches. It’s very simple to use and much easier than my large much more expensive machine. I would recommend this machine to novice and experienced sewer. If using for quilting you may wish to purchase a walking foot separately so consider that. Equally it does not come with a free motion foot. Both of these are available from main suppliers and on line. Tension, threading and bobbin winding all happen with ease.

Review for: Janome 725S Sewing and Quilting Machine

I am very pleased with this sewing machine. The quality of the stitching is lovely and it's easy to use. I have already tried quite a few new techniques with it.

Review for: Janome HD2200 Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is a sturdy and robust sewing machine which is basic technology wise but works very well. I bought it to go alongside a more temperamental computerised machine and the two complement each other very well.

Review for: Janome HD2200 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Heavy Duty at it's best. Many layers of canvas is no problem. Very nice machine. I’ve not tried all the stitch options, but it’s so much easier and quieter to use than my previous Janome machine. Already made one patchwork cushion.

Review for: Janome HD2200 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Janome hd2200 arrived next day via DPD Next Day. The outer packaging was much too big and was in a poor state which seemed to have caused some damage to the inner Janome packaging which was loose inside the main outer. Fortunately the Janome inner styrene foam protected the sewing machine which operated very well without any apparent malfunction. Overall an excellent machine. I tried all the major functions; buttonholing, button sewing, over edging,etc.. and I was particularly impressed with the needle threading facility. Well pleased !!

Review for: Janome HD2200 Sewing and Quilting Machine

This is such a lovely machine. I am a professional dressmaker and have industrial machines as well and bought this machine mainly for buttonholes and zig zag stitch but I find myself using it for general making as well. It is a heavy base, does not jump around, has a purring sound, has easy function with threading and bobbin winding. The auto buttonhole is excellent and it's easy to change stitches. The stitching and tension has been perfect on all stitches. I really am delighted with this and it sits nicely next to my Janome overlocker. Great product.

Review for: Janome M200QDC Sewing and Quilting Machine

Not only was this sewing machine a good price but also came with FREE next day delivery and additional beneficial accessories. The order was dealt with very quickly and I was kept fully up-to-date about delivery status, it arrived the next morning as assured. The sewing machine Janome M200 QDC will be perfect as my 'take to sewing group' machine. This will be my 5th upgrade from GUR and have been dealing with them for over 20 Years.

Review for: Brother Innov-Is F420 Sewing and Quilting Machine

chuffed to bits with my new Brother sewing machine, it is years since I last used a sewing machine so did not want one which was to complicated.It is of very good quality, I purchased the carry bag at the same time, so very good value. The delivery service was spot on, the machine was delivered during the quoted time slot. All round very happy.

Smashing machine, so easy to use, speed control is ace.....produced some lovely results

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

I am a beginner to patchwork and quilting, this machine was recommended to me by one of my classroom quilters. WOW have I improved or what, thoroughly enjoyed using the Jaguar 377 compared to my Janome TXL607 which gave me grief and the machine was exchanged and same faults: 1. Foot control not working, machine kept messaging foot not connected 2. Tension problem on the lower side of sewing. 3. Machine was so intermittent one day the electrics okay and the following day the machine will not want to operate. Since I treated myself to the Jaguar 377 I have managed to make 2 quilts which one of them I am hoping to have on display at the Malvern Quilt Show. Thank you GUR for all the help and advice and thanking you for taking my old machine in part exchange.

Review for: Jaguar DQS 377 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Visited GUR Superstore and was pleasantly surprised at the range of haberdashery and sewing machine selection. This is my 3rd machine from GUR, after trying various brands...decided on the Jaguar as the stitch quality and finishing seemed far better for my quilting projects. I have had the machine for 3 months and have put it through some difficult to sew projects, glad to say - NO PROBLEM . Thank you GUR for the time and coffees at the store and for putting up with me for most of the morning before making my choice. 5 stars.

Review for: Brother Innov-Is VQ2 Sewing and Quilting Machine
