    I found the instructions easy to follow, and the threading the machine was 100% better then my Janome. The number of thread options are very good.

    I needed to replace my Pfaff Coverlock 3.0 because, although that is a lovely machine, at 80 years old, my fingers and eyesight, are no longer able to cope with the threading of the loopers. I wanted the lay in threads, differential feed and automatic tension setting I was used to, combined with the "Jet Air" looper threading that would enable me to carry on enjoying my sewing. The Babylock Victory has proved to be the perfect choice. I have used it for two weeks now and can set it up and start to sew within 5 minutes instead of struggling for 30 minutes or more! It is a fabulous little machine. I have also discovered that this machine is easier to change the needles as it has big screws instead of the minute ones needing an allen key, another advantage for the less able. The speed of delivery and communication were perfect. I was kept informed of progress throughout and the packaging was sturdy and yet easy to open and access. One point I would make is that I searched for the Babylock Guarantee inside the box, when on the box it'self the web address to register purchase and activate the 4yr. cover was clearly visable. I was just too eager to get a look at my new toy to see it! This company has convinced me to buy from them in the future. Well Done!

    Speedy efficient service from this retailer and impressed with the extended 10 year warranty. I love this overlocker, so easy to thread and the stitches are beautifully, automatically tensioned. It has transformed my sewing experience, highly recommend this machine to anyone considering a new overlocker.

    I am so impressed not only with the macho but also the customer service. There was a problem with the delivery which was handled so sympathetically and efficiently. I bought a Jaguar 935D overlock and I am delighted with it. It is the first one I’ve used but it is easy to thread and works like a dream.

    Bought the Hobbylock 2.5 after my old Singer from Lidl gave up on me. It was good to have an insight into overlockers knowing how temperamental they can be ie., only liking certain thread and certainly being thread in strict order. I am enjoying using my new machine learning as I go along but would certainly recommend it as it was recommended to me by a good friend.

    Great service and delivery. I’ve swithered about purchasing an overlocker for a long time and finally took the plunge. I’ve had three Janome sewing machines over my sewing life of 60+ years so decided on a Janome overlocker. I ordered the 9300DX on the Saturday afternoon and it was delivered (ready threaded ????????) on the Tuesday afternoon. Good email communication from the seller and delivery company throughout. Having watched a number of YouTube videos on the threading process, I took the plunge and tried it myself. The lower looper was the fiddliest, but after about 30 minutes and with help from a magnifying glass I finally managed it. I’m still practising and getting the feel for it, but an overlocker is an absolute game changer. I wish I’d taken the plunge years ago.

    I had problems with my old coverstitch machine, so went for this Brother. It sews a bit slower than the other one, but it's not slow. The top coverstitch attachment works well and looks super neat.

    Very good machine with clear instructions, both on the machine and in the instruction book. The service provided by Sewing Machine Sales was excellent, machine arrived exactly when they said it would.

    Babylock Victory is amazing! no tensions to worry about. At first I thought it cannot be that good, but honestly it is! The overlock stitches are so good as it adjusts itself to whatever material your using from thick to thin and I was amazed at how extremely perfect they are. The seam was also perfect. It was worth the upgrade and makes sewing stress free. I Recommend this machine. The technician recommended this to me at the shop and he was right.
