Why You Should Purchase Your Sewing Machine From Friendly Stitches

Investing in a sewing machine is no easy task-- with so many types of sewing machines on the market, it’s hard to know which is the best for you. No one expects you to be an expert on sewing machines and the different features each appliance can offer you. Fortunately, the team at Friendly Stitches is here to help!

As a team of embroidery and sewing experts, we know what’s helpful when you’re starting out in the sewing world, and offer a range of opportunities for you to learn how to sew and embroider to the best of your ability. We also have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you choose the right sewing machine for you and your needs. Here’s just a few reasons why you should purchase a sewing machine from us: 

• Inventory. We have a large inventory of sewing, embroidery, and quilting machines for you to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a machine for everyday use, occasional projects, or just small touch-ups, we guarantee we have a machine that’s right for you and provides what you need. 

• Classes. When someone purchases a new machine from our store, we offer FREE one-on-one “machine” classes with the new owner to teach them how to use the machine. Depending upon the machine, this could be for only one hour or up to 6 hours. It is not in a class with other people or other models, but individualized instruction on their new machine taught by our own salespeople. We also offer a one-on-one “owners” class for a fee to help them learn the operation of their machine and the functions of all the buttons on their machine, even if they haven’t bought a machine from our store. 

• Suppliers. Our machines come from some of the best suppliers and brands in the industry, so you know you’re always getting a high-quality product. Additionally, one of our suppliers is offering “virtual” classes, where customers can sign up, watch an online class, and purchase products directly from the supplier. This is a great option during the pandemic for a large number of people to attend instructional classes!

• Sales. Trying to save money on a machine? No worries. In addition to our new inventory, we also consign gently used sewing machines at a discounted price to you. Though we list prices on these machines, we also encourage you to make a reasonable counter-offer at a price that you think is fair. Visit our website for more information on consigned machines. We also offer financing options for buying sewing machines.

• Quality. Machines that you purchase online or at big-box stores are not made with the same quality as machines from a regular sewing store like Friendly Stitches. While those machines may be cheaper, they do not have the same warranty or quality as the ones you buy from a brick-and-mortar sewing store. Besides, if you have questions or problems with your machines, you have no one to help you!
