While killing time I stumbled across this lovely little shop in Waltham Cross. I have to say the lady working in the shop was very warm and friendly, and so was Paul, who had a wealth of knowledge about vintage Singer sewing machines. I was so impressed with both staff and the shop, I have now subscribed to their website and looking forward to visiting the shop very soon in the near future.

Today I brought a embroidery machine from this wonderful family run business for over 40 years. With the free machine demo and excellent service I have to say this is a great place to purchase something like this. A shop full of old sewing machines all on view took my breath away. I also purchased everything I needed for my embroidery machine all in this wonderful shop. With fabrics, trimmings, cottons and so much more. I couldn't recommend this place any more, excellent customer service with a real friendly feel. Thank you so much

My wife has been a Bernina owner since 1971 - Still got the Record 830 which cost 145 (2500 2020 money) - So despite having a B330 - bought 2015 she wanted a 770QE :-( aka loadsofmoney :-)) Luckily we found RONA SEWING MACHINES - Absolutely brilliant service!! Joe, but especially Paul (the owner) were extremely helpful and knowledgable...Very honest in all the questions I asked...after all this is a 3200 machine...Highly recommended - will definitely use/buy from them again even though I'm 80 miles + from their location...Top firm!
