TESTIMONIALS

This Janome 230DC I purchased earlier this year and I use it several times each week. It is extremely reliable and dependable. I have had no problems with it at all. The quality of the stitches are very good. It has 30 choices of stitch which is more than sufficient. I have sewed a quilt, clothing, and home décor items. I have used it on canvas and denim and it handled well.

I've done free motion embroidery and free motion quilting with it too. It is quiet and smooth to sew with. The feet are easy to change - snap on and off and they are not expansive as other brands - about £15 each. it is quite light in weight which means it does move around when I use it for quilting but I use a non-stick mat underneath when quilting which helps.

On the plus side it is very portable being so light. I love the needle down and up button which means you can set the needle to always be in the down position - great when you are doing corners or for appliqué. It has an auto tie off stitch which means it will automatically lock your stitches at the beginning and end of a seam. The bobbin is very accessible and visible. Overall I have been very impressed with this machine and it is an absolute pleasure to use!

I originally bought a Brother sewing machine, and it was very good, but I ideally wanted one that was more robust. I decided on a different brand, but that was front loading bobbing, and that was a nightmare for me. This is the machine for me. Top loading easy load bobbin. Automatic back stitch lovely movement and quite quiet. Very good beginner's sewing 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.

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.

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.

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 !!

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.

I actually rate this machine quite highly after having had other makes. However it was interesting to read of someone having problems with the bobbin case. I have since my purchase many years ago had to replace this part at least 6 times!!... I have never experienced a continuous problem such as this before.... so... am not a happy bunny!!... coukd this be a manufacturing fault??

This machine is perfect easy to use instructions easy to follow. I have not used a machine for 50yrs and bought this as I needed to have 7 dresses taken up so thought rather than pay to have this done I may as well use money to buy a small machine so glad I did going to save me a fortune. Already paid for itself. Even more incredible my husband also has used it and he has never used a sewing machine in his life. Great item packaged well arrived well within time would highly recommend even for a novice No issues with threading or tension so easy

After searching online for a reputable company to buy my next machine from I asked in a sewing group........recommendations were second to none ! Looking forward to receiving my new machine 

I found my experience with GUR most helpful, the advert was true in its information on the Jaguar Prime 594. The delivery was the best service I have ever received by your company. I have been using the machine and I cannot fault it in any way. In fact I have informed my sewing class about the machine and service. They were keen to know the details of your Website for any future purchases.

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.

After an initial look at the GUR website, I called and spoke to a very helpful and well-informed member of staff with a few questions I had about a sewing machine that I had seen. I ordered my sewing machine later that afternoon and received it the following day. I cannot fault their customer service, nor the speed and efficiency in which they delivered my order. I would whole-heartedly recommend using GUR.

Very impressed with GUR. Ordered online and sewing machine delivered next day - a number of emails to keep me updated on where the order was up to, including an email on the morning of delivery telling me in what hour of the day the delivery would happen - and it did arrive in that hour. Not come across this with any other online retailer! Price seemed average for online retailers - I could not find it cheaper elsewhere.

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.

I treated myself to the Jaguar DQS 405 sewing machine and its been an absolute dream to use for my patchwork classes and around the home. I had a Frister Rossmann machine which was bought for me as gift last year and had nothing but hassle, the machine kept on breaking down me and had it replied 4 times under warranty, it was useless. I would recommend GUR Sewing Machines as they took my machine in part exchange and gave me £100 trade in ( I was lucky as it was a scrap machine in my opinion).......GUR help me with lessons on my new Jaguar sewing machine and loads of advice, I will not be shopping anywhere else Thank You GUR Sewing

Thank you for recommending this machine, it is perfect for for my needs, it's nice and compact and not too heavy.

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 seller with excellent all time communication and as much Janome Atelier 9 does wonders.

Love my new  Jaguar , I have just taken up patchwork and quilting, so far good results

Machine was purchased through Tesco as had a club card and got some extra discount. Good Machine, one of the best one i have owned. I buy all my sewing needs from GUR Sewing, very reliable company

Surprised that a small machine can have so much power to sew hems on my jeans. Easy to thread and use.....have had machine for 6 months and so far has proved to be a reliable mate

Nice easy to use machine, I wanted something simple and this fits all my needs. Thsnk You GUR for all the help

Great service great machine a breeze to use- so simple my teenager loves to use it! Good features practically sews by itself! Sturdy solid machine. I keep looking for new projects to do lol . Alphabet and numerals make it easy to personalise. 1 criticism though I find it has far fewer stitches than the 500 advertised !! But what is there are good for quilting etc..

Just purchased this machine a week ago.

Already made 2skirts. Really enjoy the solid feel to this machine, nice quiet action and very smooth running.

Also just want to compliment the team at GUR. I called into the premises to get a first hand look. So very competent and friendly.

The showroom is beautiful, and the sales team were very friendly and attentive, spending two hours demonstrating various machines. They were very knowledgeable and showed a real personal interest. As a side issue, I had to use the loo and the customer facilities were spotless. All in all a most positive experience.

I will be looking for an overlooked soon and I know where I will be going to buy it!!!!

I love my new sewing machine. I am a beginner to sewing and I have completed 4 small projects already in 3 weeks. This machine is quiet and very easy to use. The quick threading system is a much appreciated nice to have. It everything that one would need in a modern computerised sewing machine. Thanks Palma for the excellent service and advice. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

Lovely machine! Not only looks good but is a breeze to thread. Very smooth in operation with great variety of stiches. Customer service at GUR was 2nd to none! Thank you Palma. Highly recommended.

Arrived within the time allotted for delivery, with e mail notifications. Machine Janome 423s excellent sewing experience, good for those who want a reliable work horse as it sews lots of different types of material. Very pleased with the service from GUR and Janome.

I cannot rate this machine or Steven from GUR highly enough. Steven was very helpful and had a sense of humour!!! As he had to guide me through the online ordering process, that was a bonus! I got my lovely new machine a couple of days after ordering, and I loved it from the word go. It is so easy to use, and came with a very comprehensive manual. Free cottons, needles, extension table and lots more goodies AND I part exchanged my machine for £100 making this an even bigger bargain :) I highly recommend this machine and GUR.

One fantastic easy to use machine, I was worried at the start about purchasing a computer machine. I was wrong, it could not be any easier. One happy customer Thank You GUR Sewing Machines

Light weight machine but not too light like some plastic models. Machine copes nice with denim and quilting. My machine is used everyday 7 days a week, so far no problems but good perfect results everytime. Overall I will give it 11 star out of 10 Perfect partner.

Love the machine, so easy to use...I thought I was going to have problems with the electronics.....BEST Machine I have ever owned. Thank You GUR

I bought this machine from GUR about 3 years ago now and I couldn't praise it highly enough as a machine that works through anything I've sewn. Easy maintenance and no problems at all. Lovely machine.

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.

My mum surprised me with my first new sewing machine for all my university projects. Love the jaguar machine, love the easy threading, love the easy bobbin loading and love the ease of use. The speed controller is fantastic for a starter like me to be able to control the machine to my pace. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the Jaguar DQS 405 it’s the perfect companion for me to develop my sewing skills!

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.

First of all big thank you to fantastic GUR team. Brotther Innovis 955 is a very good quality combine sewing and embroidery machine for affordable price. The machine is light and have a lot of features, extra embroidery patterns and also extension table.

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.

Wonderful Machine.

Easy to use with loads of fabulous sewing stitches. Easy threading.......LOVE the needle threader, my friends were so surprised when showed them that I could thread the needle without looking at machine. Will recommend this machine to anyone.

This machine has exceeded all my expectations - it is superb. I was unsure of spending this amount of money but it was worthwhile. I can't praise it enough, another brilliant Janome machine.

My name is Anna and this is the first time that I have ever written a review - they asked me to share my thoughts about their service and my machine for the benefit of other customers who might be thinking about the new model. Please forgive me if some of this bores you, but I write and speak a lot and feel that it is important to be clear at all times. I have been sewing in my spare time for several years now. I own a Jaguar 127 and have always found the machine very reliable and was of course glad to learn that they had made a new model. Lost of cash They put my mind at ease when I was told that GUR was able to offer me a Jaguar 30 day peace of mind guarantee for my purchase - I could not believe that I was able to purchase the machine and use it with no risk for 30 days and return it for a full refund if I was unhappy for any reason. This was the first time that I had heard of an offer of this type since I have started sewing - wow! I am overjoyed with the new machine, the Jaguar DQS 405 Sewing Machine. The staff at GUR were very kind and professional, they were even able to offer me £100 trade in for my old machine. I wanted to know more about the new Digital Quick threading system. The sales person at GUR said that it was the best thing since ‘sliced bread’ - I was slightly dubious about this comment but I did trust the Jaguar name and my friends had recommended GUR to me, so I thought that I would dive in and give it a try. Anyway, the machine arrived and I turned it on, pulled the threader into the right position whole thing threaded itself up! This was amazing and I was overjoyed. Your see, I am now getting a little elderly now, and my eyes are not as sharp as they used to be. Threading was always one of those things that I just had to do and used to hate. Now, I am able to thread my needle with my eyes closed and with no stress. This already saved me lots of time and has made the the whole process so much easier for me - thanks GUR. The machine has a well built construction, sounds really solid and has a very simple menu system, I have already started to sew dresses and have now finished my first project - curtains for the front room! The machine has been able to do manage and sew together silks to heavy material with no issues at all. Finally, I want to say that I am grateful to the GUR team, who really looked after me and always gave me the best advice for my situation, the machine is the best investment that I have made in a long time!

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

GREAT SEWING MACHINE, IT IS THE BEST SEWING MACHINE i HAVE EVER USED, VERY EASY TO OPERATE. THE SPEED LEVEL CONTROL IS PARTICULAR GOOD. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND JANOME CXL301

A nice starter machine, worth buying with the starter pack as there is no hard cover with this machine. Delivered fast as promised on the website. I am a sewing tutor so I have the capacity to send customers your way, and once my own machines need replacing, come back to you for upgrades; as such it is a shame you don't have a loyalty scheme. After asking about this and trade discount by e-mail and receiving no response at all from you, I went elsewhere for my 3 other machines, having bought my 2 most expensive models from you this far.

The walking foot in the 3 Foot Quilting Set is not good – it leaves nasty tracks on the fabric, despite adjustments to the pressure dial on the sewing machine. I wanted to caution other customers about this. I won’t be able to use it – but I can use the other two feet in the set.

Purchased my machine 3 weeks ago, loving it.

The machine so far has been put through its paces at my night class, my friends have been so impressed that they have ordered as well.....ideal machine for all my patchwork and quilting.

Thank you GUR

Amazing little sewing machine. The functions on it make life so much easier. I'm one happy lady

I bought an Innovis-is V7 a few months ago and so I think it is time to write a review. I bought it from GUR sewing machines because they had the most informative website and, when I telephoned, the salesman - Billy, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. This is a very expensive machine and I spent months trying to decide if I should buy it. Since I have had it, I use it every day. It is MUCH better than I expected. As a sewing machine, it is superb. I have the programable foot and so I can sew, reverse reinforce, cut the threads and lift the foot (with the knee lift) without taking my hands off the piece of work. It is like having another pair of hands. Whoever designed this machine understood sewing. The differential feed foot (like a turbo charged walking foot) is superb - i made a quilt which involved framing each sandwich with satin ribbon - sixty meters of satin ribbon to sew onto a quilt sandwich of batting and cotton. I was really worried about it but the machine made it easy. Being able to see the seam allowance with the laser guide is amazingly uselful. I am new to machine embroidery but was fed up with doing freehand embroidery which looked OK until I turned it over... The embroidery functions are very easy to use and the software is tremendous. I achieved excellent results the first time I used it. I learned some things the hard way - buy GOOD thread even if you feel a bit broke after buying the machine, measure twice and sew once, unpicking machine embroidery is an awful job, pay attention to hooping. This is a fantastic machine which seems to be able to do every task I set it. I am still learning but have had such delight from my results so far and GUR are only a phone call away
