TESTIMONIALS

Delighted with this machine ,it has everything I wanted for an excellent price. We were surprised just how quiet it was too.

This sewing machine is everything I expected and more. Would highly recommend it to new and experienced sewists. Quick delivery thank you GUR

Nice machine to use. Easy to understand. Very quick delivery

A great machine and good value in the sale.

Amazing value for this wonderful machine. I bought this as an early Christmas gift for my daughter in law who is an avid seamstress. The Black Friday price was too good to miss. She loves it and can't stop raving about it's features. Years ago, my very first machine was a Novum. It seemed to go on for years with no problems. The only reason I sold it on was because I wanted more stitch choices. If this one performs as well as my original old one, I as the buyer, and my daughter in law as the owner, will be more than happy with our choice

excellent service and an amazing machine thank you

I wasn't sure about buying a Janome as I hated one I had before. However the Janome 5060 qdc has all the requirements I need for an extra machine so thought I'd take the risk. I love it! It feels sturdy, and very easy to navigate. The free extention table & quilting foot + bag were a real bonus and customer service excellent as usual. I think I'd even recommend this machine for a serious beginner as there is so much you can do on it. Free motion embroidery is a breeze. The auto needle threader just needs a little practise, and in my experience, gets better and smoother to use over time. Very pleased customer. .thank you GUR sewing machines for a fab buy and service!

The machine was really good value as bought in Black Friday sale and came with really good free items. The bag is of really good quality. The machine is a good weight and should be quite stable in use. The machine has not been used as yet, it is a Christmas present for my 10 year old granddaughter. To be able to get a computerised machine for this price for her to use on her own is fantastic. She loves using my computerised machine but cannot be left with it alone as it was very expensive. Although not as many stitches as my machine the Jaguar has a really good looking selection. A good starter machine for any beginner. Well impressed as yet.

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 LOVE this machine. I wanted something without too many fancy stitches but something that could cope with heavy materials and this is exactly what I wanted. Arrived within three days, so I am seriously impressed thank you GUR

Arrived in super quick time and I absolutely LOVE this machine, took it to sewing class and took it out of the box and finished a bag I had been struggling with on my previous machine through six layers including faux leather !! Perfect

Love my machine, roman blind was my first make, still need to get used to no peddle, not noisy either

Super fast next day delivery . Great machine, wish i had bought this make sooner. Never owned a janome before. Does everything i need and more. Simple to operate. No problems at all.

I have bought a great deal from Gur sewing machines from accessories to top of line sewing/embroidery machines. I live in France yet the delivery has been prompt and supplied tracking good. The prices have mostly been unbeatable. I recently purchased the Small Jaguar DQS 405 machine as a gift for my granddaughter and whereas the machine is good for a young beginner I have been very spoilt with my more top end machines and apart from patchwork this particular Machine would never be good for me and the work that I do. Neither would I have paid the full -original price but at special offer it is an excellent purchase. I am now saving up for a Janome M7 machine which for quilting, art quilts, and all general sewing would be my ultimate for a very good sewing machine. At the moment it is beyond my reach but when I can purchase it will be to Gur sewing machines I will purchase from with confidence in their service. Thank you Gur Sewing machines for your international service.

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 questions politely and patiently. I will recommend GUR and you Palma to anyone that asks and I got the best deal currently available. First class all the way. Well done GUR.

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.

Bought as a gift for my step daughter. Arrived within a few days of ordering. Great deal on machine included quilting extension table. Instruction manual is straight forward and comprehensive. Also included in the kit was a walking foot and a plate to cover the feed dog for free motion embroidery My step daughter is thrilled with her machine, and has already made hats and practiced embroidery using the embroidery foot that came with the gift kit. Can't comment on durability yet but I have told my step daughter if she decides sewing is not her thing I would more than happily adopt her new machine.

As my 1st computerised machine this is so easy to use.
I absolutely love it. Would definitely recommend.
Great customer service also, as arrived earlier than expected. .

Great service from GUR, fast secure delivery.
I would definitely recommend this company.
Absolutely love my Jaguar Novum Craft sewing machine.
This computerised machine is so easy to use.
Really good speed control with a very responsive foot pedal and also a start/stop button. The stitch selection is pretty impressive for the price.

I love it, it’s so simple to use and it sews exquisitely. For the price, I’m surprised it has plenty of fancy features like the more expensive models such as the speed control, start/stop button and needle up/down. Also worth noting, the delivery was exceptionally quick and the advice I received from GUR was top notch.

Prompt and Speedy delivery, with fantastic service. The Janome 219-S Machine sews great. It’s Smooth, quiet, & easy to use. I’d highly recommend this machine to anybody, especially if you are a beginner.

Can't recommend both GUR and this particular machine enough. Steve went above and beyond to make sure I got the best machine for my needs, and this Jaguar is phenomenal. So easy to set up and use, and the quality is amazing! Looking forward to many years of happy sewing.

Hi, this is the first sewing machine I have purchased and I love it. It is so easy to use (so far lol) I am starting a new project soon and feel this machine will cope with it with no problems Evelyn

Wow what a fantastic machine and superb service! GUR suggested this machine as a suitable sewing and embroidery machine.

I haven’t looked back, since I can do basic sewing, embroidery and quilting all in one place. The stitches are beautiful and a lovely wide range of embroidery designs, I found the threading of the machine quite easy.
 

Considering I’ve never done embroidery before, the instructions make it incredibly simple to get started and to learn new skills.

The delivery was extremely fast (next day) and a well-rounded machine.

I will be shopping with GUR in the near future for any accessories for the machine

Received my Jaguar DQS 405 very promptly a couple of weeks ago. Was pleased with the quality of the build, and the solidness of the case. Having had a couple of weeks now to try it out - the needle threader is fab - my eyesight not what it was. I have done some straight sewing on it and now learning how to use the embroidery stitches. My old machine is at least 30 years old so using a computerised machine rather different but so far so good. Overall very pleased with my purchase and service from GUR.

Completely love this Brother Innovis M280D ! I decided to treat myself to a new machine, but was unsure, so I visited GUR store. Although my sewing talents are quite limited, I do enjoy sewing and making bits and pieces for the family. I wanted to upgrade to a machine that could quilt and with an embroidery function, but was put off by the price and difficulty of some machines. However, the Brother Innovis M280D does it all and more, sewing and embroidery, featuring Disney characters. Despite its wide range of functions and patterns, it is surprisingly straightforward to operate. Within a day or so, I felt completely at ease with it. A great all-in-one model! Topped off with a fantastic service and a great price!

I've only just bought this machine and can't believe how good it is.

I've got a top of the range Pfaff but this out does that hands down.

Not keen on the backwards button as I'm used to my other one just tying off at the start and end of a row but other than that all's good.

For the money it seems to be a well built good quality machine.

I bought this machine when my old one broke down soon after starting the massive task of making new loose covers for my lounge suite. The new machine is excellent, very smooth and easily able to deal with many layers of fabric effortlessly. The bobbin just drops in and threads easily and the whole operation is very quick. This machine would be ideal for a beginner. The price is amazing and mine was delivered in 48 hours. Excellent service, highly recommended.

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 stitch button functioned very well, I'm mentioning this because that function on other brands of manual sewing machines I have owned in the past have been quite stiff to press. Also you can get great control of the foot pedal on this machine which is fantastic if your doing top stitching and you need to sew slowly for a perfectly accurate result which gives a very professional look to your project. Overall it's a wonderful sewing machine! I would love to know what the higher end Brother manual or computerised sewing machines are like now that I have had the pleasure of trying this one! I'm so thankful that I have tried a Brother sewing machine because I think when I can upgrade I shall upgrade to another Brother machine! "Brother by your side"

I haven't used a sewing machine for years but having just moved, I wanted curtains, cushions etc that were exactly what I wanted rather than making do with ready-made 'good enough'. I have made all the soft furnishings for my home, reupholstered my son's caravan, made personalised bedding for the kids, repaired zips and lots of other jobs - I don't know how I managed for so many years without a machine! This particular machine has been so simple to use and far less complicated than older machines. Threading and bobbin instructions are printed on the actual machine making it almost fool proof. The only issue I had was when I used different thread for the top stitch and bobbin which really didn't work (serves me right for trying to take a shortcut!). Overall, highly recommended for beginners or straighforward sewing.

This was such a bargain and is amazingly useful and has been used more than I expected in just a few weeks of owning it. As a first time machine owner this is very easy to use with a simple dial to choose the stitch type you want which is shown making it easy. Winding the bobbins is easy.

This Brother Innovis NV1100 is a fabulous machine. I quilted my first project, without any tears and tantrums. I would highly recommend this machine for both sewers and quilters.

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.

Possibilities are simply endless with the Janome M100 QDC! Not only it is fantastic for exploring and experimenting but also its ease of sewing quickly and professionally. One of the many things I love about this model is how well it has been thought out, its ideal for someone who is highly experienced, but also a learner who wants to extend their imagination, because of the personal touches and embroidery stitches the machine has to offer (i.e several types of alphabet and decorative stitches!). Being computerised, stitch quality is superb, thanks to the superior feed of fabric, whilst clever features make sewing a doddle: The start/stop button allows you to control your stitching with the touch of a button, so the foot pedal is no longer needed (but is included!). Other features include a lock in stitch button; to save you time going backwards and forwards to finish a stitch, speed control bar and an extension table to make sewing larger projects more comfortable! The LED screen conveniently details the correct foot for the programmed stitch, and other setting information to get the best possible results. Additionally storage is no longer a problem for machine parts, as everything fits nicely into its integrated compartments, and comes complete with a durable hard cover. The list of features is endless, but overall I guarantee you will not be disappointed by this superb model, its certainly my dream 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.

The sewing machine arrived the day after we ordered it. After unpacking it it was so easy to set up and get started. The machine is robust and built to last and we are looking forward to many years of creating and modifying clothes etc.

The motor is strong, so I can stitch leather, denim, strong fabrics and yet it is a dream on chiffon and georgettes. I use this professionally in my work on fashion photo shoots, it’s quiet yet tenacious. I’ve altered ballgowns, evening wear, jersey dresses, outerwear it’s got a small head so great for getting into books and crannies. It’s got a good selection of basic stitches, it’s perfect for me and I’ve bought a few different kind of feet for various fabrics ie leather and velvet. I love this machine so much that I’m going to buy another one. It’s strong, reliable, great value for money, not too noisy, an all-round fantastic little 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.

Well sewing machines have gone up in the world since my poorly machine that gave up after 40 years of service, and that was a good one in its day! Went to the store for a demo of different machines the gentleman was extremely helpful and helped me make my choice I was there for a good hour trying all different machines until I decided on this model. It is taking a lot of getting used to all the little extras that are included on this model Janome 780DC. But after lots of practice and errors I am sure I will get there. I eventually bought the 80 stitch model which is lovely. Good little extras on machine such as a needle threader, auto cut off button which cuts threads when finishing the stitching, no foot pedal necessary but can be used if prefer. Also comes with lots of included extra accessories. Threading the threads on machine is all very descriptive on the actual machine with arrows of where threads go. Overall pleased so far with my new machine time and practice will tell if it’s better than my old faithful one.

I have been using a Bernina for nearly twenty years and wanted something that would do the bits it doesn't do like automatic buttonholes and a few fancy stitches. It wasn't until I tried this machine that I realised how smooth a sewing machine could be. No more juddering up the arms! I have only had it a few days however the stitch quality is very good, even and the preset tension is perfect for day to day sewing on an average weight fabric. Still to explore other things! Very, very simple to use, I would think that even for a complete beginner this machine would be a pleasure to use, the automatic threaded and cutter are a nice addition.

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.

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!

Very nice item. Haven't tried all the functions yet, though. Solid, easy to use, works fine so far. I especially like the automatic needle threader, button hole function and the top loading bobbin.

I have been looking at this item for a while, and so I purchased it from GUR with next day delivery FANTASTIC! The sales team were great they asked what type of sewing I do, how much i'm planning on sewing, they said this item would be great, and it is. 50 stitches , the buttonholes are ace, and all of the features are just brilliant. Great service!

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 is a great innovation. A good memory size to keep your favourite stitches as well as the ability of mixing and matching stitches. A good all round machine that has the backing of a three year warranty from Brother which is more than you get from other manufacturers. A very compact machine that will definitely handle any machinist whether beginner or advanced level. I would highly recommend this machine.

I have only had this machine recently and it's doing fantastic. I am a beginner but have been able to get to grips with everything very quickly. Beautiful stitch options, great pedal speed control, able to move needle, needle threader works very well and threading is pain free overall.

I have not tested the button function. I have so far found literally no issues with this machine and very pleased with the service I received and speedy delivery.

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.

Very easy to use and produces superb quality results. Really happy with what the machine offers in terms of stitches, automatic button holes etc.

I needed a new sewing machne after my old New home stopped working properly after 35 years of loyal service. I fancied a computerised model to hopefully make life easier but was a little wary of them being too complicated and expensive. This model is excellent, after half an hour I was able to operate the machine without referring to the manual. GUR delivered the machine very quickly as well.
