“I love my new Juki”

Randy J.
4/3/23

I received my new Juki with needle positioner two days of ago, because I had to work, today was the first chance I had to set it up. Took me about 60 minutes- but I work in Maintenance, so you might want to double that if you're not used to using tools. I haven't used a swing machine in in about 10 years but it didn't take long for it to come back. This thing sew like a dream. Thanks to Eric for recommending the needle in positioner. It's really great. Everything was set up I just loaded my thread tied it to the piece left in the machine, pulled it through and took off sewing. Can't wait to to take on some projects.

“Buyer beware”

Rachelle G.
1/16/24

They say that there is a 60 day period where you can return purchased items and then when try to return something they say that it's not returnable They told me that I should have read the really fine print. As a disabled veteran it's really hard to know who to trust

I purchased the Butler robotics system for my King Quilter II Elite longarm machine. The Butler robotics was easy to attach to the frame. I made a video of the installation and uploaded it to YouTube so others could find help. I bought the Deluxe version of the Butler. Once I had it installed, I used YouTube videos to learn how to use the system. I am pleased with the robotics. I've stitched close to 50 quilts on it since I installed it and have had no trouble whatsoever.

I have nothing but praise for SMP

• Previous review

I bought my King Quilter II Elite 9 months ago and have had excellent service from SMP. I had a problem with the handle bars and they sent a replacement without waiting for me to send the old ones back. Their service department is outstanding, in my opinion. I've been so impressed with the company I started a facebook group for owners of the machine. The machine itself runs beautifully, I've quilted 1.8 million stitches on it so far and have had beautiful stitching on each quilt.
(Update: March 14,2023 I am still very satisfied with SMP. My machine now has 9 million stitches on it and I've had excellent stitching the entire time. I haven't needed service in almost 2 years, but if I do I know I'll get good care from them.)

Tip for consumers:
Call the order in, instead of buy over the website, you might get a coupon code to apply to your order!

Received this as a present from my daughter. When I got it initially it wouldn't come on as I thought maybe I'm doing something wrong, but finally it came on and I began to use it. I noticed it skipped some stitches, but again I thought it was me. So I started to do embroidery and there was one thing after another. Called the company the company referred me to a brother dealer that was of no help it was still in warranty this was only a month later. Talked with several people and even spoke with the guy who repairs Chris he was a butt hole thought he knew it all. Tried to explain to him that there's something wrong I've been sewing since I was 16 and I know it shouldn't be doing these this. Put in and embroidery design that was in the machine itself and it kept saying malfunction and would cut off. Finally got to speak with the manger she was nice and asked what size jumpdrive I was using told her 8 she said maybe it's too big and sent me a 2 but I told her I really don't think this is the problem. But I tried it anyway to no avail it didn't. Spoke with her again and she just sent me a brand new SE1900. I was truly impressed with the kindness and attention to the problem I was having. I will definitely buy from them again and recommend them A+ customer service always ask for the manager.

The customer service I received from SewingMachinePlus was without a doubt the best ever. I wifi always go to them for all my quilting supplies.

It would have been helpful to know that my one missing item was being shipped separately by another vendor, rather than having to call. Other than that, I have always been totally satisfied with SewingMachinesPlus! :)

I just wrote a review on Facebook, and I think it's important enough to repeat myself on this forum. Had I read all these negative reviews before I ordered my Janome MC400E embroidery machine from them I wouldn't have. However, I did on 12 May 20, and it just arrived by FedEx today, 16 May 20. I don't believe this company is scamming anyone, rather it is caught up in the turmoil caused by Covid19 including a reduced workforce and extraordinary increase in customer orders. That doesn't excuse any rudeness customers are experiencing when complaining and I hope the company's management is working to improve their customer service. In any case, I think these folks are getting slammed by Covis19 related problems and I hope you all give them a chance to catch up and serve your needs.

I received my Dress Form a few days after placing my order. And I received the dress form cover a day later. I've ordered from SewingMachinePlus before and the staff is truly amazing. Very nice people and always helpful. I will order from them again.

I've ordered a number of things from Sewing Machines Plus and have been very pleased with the products and the customer service. Their website is easy to use and if a product is coming directly from them, it arrives quickly. If my order isn't going to arrive in a couple days, they let me know why (coming from the company the manufactures the product) and then tell you when to expect it. I ordered a sit down quilter from them (which I love) and they called to confirm that I knew what I had ordered and to explain when it would arrive and what to look for on You Tube to help set it up. I'll definitely order more supplies in the future.
