Janome and Machine Embroidery Clubs
If you are wishing to learn more about your machine or just simply would like to meet up with like-minded people and share inspiration, then one of our clubs could be just the ticket!
For machine embroidery owners (Janome) we run a machine embroidery club every two months where you bring your machine along and create a project.
On the alternative months we hold bi-monthly a Janome Club where anyone can come along (you do not need to own a Janome machine) to learn. This is usually demonstrative only.
Services
Machine repairs and servicing. We offer a domestic sewing machine and overlocker repair/overhaul service where you drop off and pick up your machine from the shop.
Please ask in-store for further details at the time.
