Excellent company. Very helpful, knowled­gable, and they want to make sure you get the most out of your machine. Great follow up support, so if you're a newbie or a complete beginner, these guys will make sure you don't feel like you've only got YouTube to turn to.

I really hope I wrote down Elaine's name correctly and I haven't got the wrong person! This lady was incredible. I had no idea what I needed, or what I was buying as it was a surprise gift for my mother. Elaine was without doubt the most helpful person I have ever dealt with, over the phone. She explained this whole product to me and hit every question I had written down before I even asked her. The item shipped the same day, and I think arrived the next, after having a conversation about needing to get it in time for a birthday! Support this business - they really care.

Excellent service and friendly staff. Ordered a part for my vintage Singer sewing machine with Gordon on Friday, and he had it stock for me on Saturday. Thank you very much!

Thanks so very much for your excellent customer service via Marcus yesterday. I met Marcus and he upgraded me from the machine i had on order to one that was in stock! It is brilliant!! Thanks so very much x Carol x

Online order, prompt delivery. Hobkirks are a very special sewing service and business. Thank you

Over& above the machine, I have to say Hobkirks have been brilliant. Answered patiently any questions I had (Mark that's you ) & David& young man brought machine on time& with everything I ordered . David was fantastic spent as long as I needed to feel at ease with machine, covered everything I needed to know made sure I changed the feet&had a play with machine . This is an amazing machine. Its my first industrial walking foot machine, however I knew exactly what I needed a machine to do/ have& it does not disappoint. Its got great build quality, fantastic flawless stitching, simple to use. I thought I'd feel as though machine was intimidating but it's control lable, smooth& quiet, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it

Would like to thank the friendly team at the Blackburn store. Marcus & Linda (& the other lady.) Had a problem with a pair of scissors, Marcus dealt with the situation like a gentleman!

I cannot praise HobkirkS enough when purchasing my Brother XR37NT Sewing machine. I ordered it online one night, I had a call from the shop the very next day advising me it was being shipped out that day and I received it the very next day in Sunderland! I really appreciated the personal touch of ringing me. I would certainly recommend using Hobkirks and hopefully, one day, I may even be able to visit the shop and thank them in person xx

I just want to say thank you for a wonderful service you kept me informed about my order and a very quick delivery I would give you 5 stars for the service. I will be using you again.

Order received today bang on time. Excellent commu­nica­tion throughout. Goods well packaged and just as ordered. Many thanks!
