We hope you enjoy the time you spend with us and find our products helpful to you in pursuit of your creative love of sewing! While we are an internet-based company, we have spent many years building relationships with local dealers throughout the US and in many other countries. We feel it is very important that you support your local dealers...so they can stay in business to provide service and support for the machines you purchase. We encourage you to support your local dealer by purchasing our products from them. However, if they do not carry our products, we would be happy to have you purchase our products directly from us. Please also feel free to share our information with your local dealer if they do not currently carry our products.
