Long Arm Machines

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 …

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.

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 …

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 …

Just an amazing machine. Very very very pleased.

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

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.

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

I had been looking for an M7 as a surprise present for my wife. I had done lots of research prior to deciding on this model as it had so many innovative and intuitive features that would allow her to expand on what she has done so far. She is very creative and is an active member of a couple of local sewing groups. It is a large machine but this was for her sewing room. Adjustable LED lighting illuminates the workspace really well. The large throat space and included extension table mean that room to work is truly exceptional for a "domestic" sewing machine. The 7 inch touch screen is bright and clear, offering a degree background colour preference, screen saver timing, sleep and auto shut down settings. The dual spool holders easily accept various sized spools and needle/ …

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, …

I love this machine, it is a bit pricey but well worth the money. I do quite a lot of quilting and the size of the machine makes this so much easier. It also has plenty of embroidery functions as well. I spent quite sometime looking for the right machine to meet my needs and this machine definitely ticks all the boxes for me.

Great Sewing machine and yet again great service from Gur, would highly recommend this Company

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.

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. Very easy to use machine and thread. The speed is fantastic, love the cutting button and the threading of the bobbin can be done without re threading the machine. Good instruction book. My only regret is not buying it sooner !!

I LOVE this machine !! I had been researching this machine for months since my hubby said I could have an ‘upgrade’ (though think he presumed i’d sell my previous one !!) and was a little daunted to start with, but the instructions are clear and ‘beastie boy’ and I are getting along beautifully!! Thank you to GUR wonderful speedy service as always,

I have been sewing for 40 years including some years when I did it for a living. I had two machines during this time, first one still working :)) ,second served me 27 years and recently died :( . After a long search, about two months ago I bought Brother Innov-Is NV1800Q Computerised Sewing Machine. I can already say that this is a great machine. Almost... It has many figures, possibilities, the seam goes beautifully, but... The head of the machine is so big and so close to the flat bed (needle plate cover), that it limits the operational space under the machine’s head. I already can’t imagine how I am going to sew (attach) a collar to a shirt when you need to use your fingers a lot. I already had a problem with making/sewing folds In masks... I really hope that the …

Very good machine, great for thick fabrics

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

I have used this machine to make quilts, dolls clothes and fancy dress costumes. The machine has worked well using a variety of fabrics and thicknesses. I particularly like the variable speed especially when sewing difficult fabrics, ie. sequinned, netting, wadding, leather etc. My machine came with the quilt accessories and the feet are essential if intending to make quilts or do top stitching. You can do this with the machine feet included but the walking foot and open toe foot make this much easier. The machine is easy to use and the manual has clear instructions. The needle threader is a joy to use. The machine is quiet. The embroidery stitches provide endless opportunities to personalise garments and the instruction booklet gives clear guidance on how to combine patterns. …

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.

Still early days but I am delighted and now I’m using my new machine I wonder why it took me so long to upgrade. Quick and efficient delivery and a good price also appreciated

Having never used a Janome machine before, I was pleasantly surprised by easy it was to use. I’m an experienced sewer and make bags, and so far it’s copied with all I’ve thrown at it. Even four layers of denim, or vinyl. Need to try out the huge range of stitches next! Overall a good buy!

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!…

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

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

Absolutely love that 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!!

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 …

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.

Very very excellent service and Janome Atelier 9 is exactly what you pay for. It was my dream sewing machine which I got as a present from my husband. Though I am an intermediate in sewing, I don't expect not to break a needle or make little stupid mistakes while sewing, but the Atelier 9 doesn't jam the sewing machine neither the bobbin jumps out. It's heavy duty and very easy to use, with great very helpful instructions on screen and CD.As for the embroidery it connects with the apple Ipad and mobile. You can download designs from a lot of different websites as many as you like free and paid.Well I am a starter as for embroidery but Janome Atelier 9 made me feel like a true professional because it embroiders fast and amazingly nice and neat.Very highly recommended …

I own this wonderful machine and it is the mainstay in all my sewing and quilting needs. A great sewing machine that will take all types of fabric with ease, a super top threader and the super Brother drop in bobbin as well. It is great that the Innovis machines all have the same threading mechanism, as it works exactly the same as my Brother 750e Embroidery machine. I am able to sew Double and King Size Quilts with ease as the machine gives plenty of room to manoeuvre. This is definitely one of the best Brother machines on the market today. A super hard case that has room to store your instruction guides which is a nice touch. All I can say to the sewer is buy this model you will not be disappointed, I know that I am not.

great machine but can't get a carry bag for this machine

I received my Brother VQ2 late last week and i absolutely love it. I was pretty optimistic about the machine as I was right in doing so as it is perfect for what I need! I'd recommend this machine 100%
