Based in Wrexham in North Wales brilliant customer service and has some "exclusives" which are rebranded. I have had a couple of machines a press and various bits and never had any cause to complain, they will give advice over the phone if needed and it's next day delivery for machines

I'm in the process of buying an overlocker through them, and the experience has been great!

I contacted a few other shops and didn't get advice just a list of machines that were in my price bracket and a request to come in, which I simply don't have time for... I don't even have time to go to the auctions at the moment... -<

My favourite shop is World of Sewing in Tunbridge Wells. People who really know their stuff and will take you through the whole process of choosing a machine.

The Sewing Studio Redruth - excellent after sales service too

I've had a couple of machines from Jaycotts Chester
https://jaycotts.co.uk/ They are very good and I get patterns from them too.
Last two have been from SMD Wrexham (as recommended by Didi) because Jaycotts didn't have what I wanted but also they were extremely helpful when I just wanted advice.

This is where I got my machine. Good price, shop based lessons on how to use it. Also got my overlocker there, and lesson on how to use it. And have done a a morning session there recently to learn the reverse and memory functions of my Bernina. Friendly helpful people. But unfortunately an hour and a half away!

I can recommend CCB in Rochester High Street, dealer for Bernina, Pfaff, Husqvarna, and Brother machines and also sells pre-loved machines. They also sell a smallish selection of fabrics and habby, and run various courses during the year.

Edinburgh shop. Excellent service, in shop or by phone.
Mind you David could sell snow to Inuit.

We know of some real cowboys, of course, now trading under a few different names but it's good to know there are lots of good dealers out there.
Over the last few years I've had machines from GUR Sewing (Birmingham); Theobald's (Luton); Franklin's (Colchester) and Sew Northampton (guess where!). I live nearest to Theobald's and Sew Northampton. All were bought in personal visits to their shop or a sewing show (Franklin's at Duxford Quilt Show).
All the machines have been great and I got good deals so I've had no opportunity to really test out their customer service but I would happily go back to any of them.
All were happy to give me lots of time for demonstrations (GUR devoted 3+ hours to going through machines with me and gave me lots of freebies from their habby) while the in-depth machine knowledge of Mr Theobald, both domestic and industrial, is simply unbeatable.

Another big thumbs up for Sewing Machine world.
http://www.sewingmachineworldonline.co.uk/
I recently bought a cover stitch machine from them & found myself struggling to thread the looper so I gave them a quick call & drove over to their shop in King’s Lynn where Steve sorted everything out & gave me a demo.
As others have said, excellent customer service. :)

That's where I bought my overlocker 0_0
Not the brand I thought I would come out with, but she let me test drive the various models and didn't put pressure on to buy anything in particular.

I use https://www.brothermachines.co.uk/, they are based near me in SW16, the guy there I think his name is Ricky is very knowledgeable, and will even teach you to use the newer techy machines :)

Woodseats sewing Machines in Sheffield are very good . It is a small family business and they are really helpful.

For us northern girls. Lots of Baby Lock in stock but sadly no longer do Pfaff. Very efficient.
