GBSB must be so proud to have their name associated with this image too.

They must have authorised it as their logo is stamped on the side of the machine - you can see that as it's the wrong way round  :D

Just took a look at the other sewing machines this shop is selling. Would't certainly not buy one there and go straight ahead to a shop that specialised in sewing machines with different brands.

Want to find a machine suitable for children promoted by a company clearly expert in this field?

I know we've all seen examples of this in ebay and stock images used online but this is a well-known retailer of fabric and associated sewing goods in southern England. GBSB must be so proud to have their name associated with this image too.

The image may not be theirs but how can this sit on their website selling this product and aimed at children??? There's a neat little finger protector that will trap their fingers in place nicely just in case the needle doesn't get them at the first attempt when used as demonstrated.  :S
