Wow what a fantastic team! Everyone I encountered was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable .
Elaine was extremely helpful, in looking at an old sewing machine I called in with , gave me lots of advice and an estimate of the cost of repairs / service.

I was also looking for a new machine , Elaine had the time to sit with me , explain and demonstrate a brother machine to me , it was brilliant.

Thank you so much Elaine, your customer service , knowledge and patience demonstrating the sewing machines to me was fantastic! Thank you.

I was looking for a portable blind stitch machine, and found Hobkirks most helpful from enquiry to purchase and delivery. They offered in house training on its use, or by FaceTime. When I needed some help, Marcus and Broadie were very supportive and I did eventually go to their showroom and workshop, and David could not have been more helpful. Excellent service from an excellent company, and it was a pleasure to deal with them.

As always great service and help from Mark, Marcus and the team at Hobkirk's. Lewis is a Credit to you as an Installation and Sevrice engineer, with excelent service, and advice on all aspects of embroidery, utilising his experience from the industry. I would recommend Hobkirk's, and Ricoma Embroidery machines to anyone.

Fantastic service. Very well packaged and quick delivery. Super value price. And imagine my surprise when I saw I had been gifted extra fabric! Thank you for your great service and kindness.

All of the staff are extremely helpful and so friendly. As a relatively new sewer I found it very useful to book a sewing machine demo with Tatiana and together we found the right machine for me. I had a little problem with the new sewing machine (a rookie silly mistake nothing at all wrong with the machine

) and Elaine was so very patient and gave me lots of helpful advice.

There’s a huge range of sewing machines (domestic and industrial) and overlockers. Loads of beautiful fabrics and a wide range of haberdashery. I definitely recommend Hobkirks.

Not only is the product substantial yet light the quality is amazing, down to the waxed legs that let you slide them in with a firm tap of your hand, no hammer needed, thank you so much, what a treat.

Every time I visit I’m never disappointed. I’ve had 4 machines now from Hobkirk and I have never had any problems. I upgrade my embroidery machines and now I have swapped to an industrial sewing machine. Lots of machines to choose from lots of beautiful fabrics.
The service you receive is second to none from waking through the door to the delivery. 100% would recommend to everyone. Looking forward to my next visit

I just wanted to reiterate what everyone else is saying in their reviews, a fabulous shop, with very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I had booked to demo two machines with the help of Tatiana. Tatiana took the time to understand my needs and encouraged me to really test the two machines I had shortlisted. Suffice to say I went home with a new machine, accessories and some fabric as well. Think shopping at Hobkirks will be my new regular Saturday guilty pleasure!
