Sewing Machines

We proudly use and sell Handi Quilter, Elna and Janome machines. We encourage our customers to purchase machines from reputable authorized dealers with Brick & Mortar locations. When you buy from online retailers, you may not receive any follow up services with your investment.

When purchasing machines with our shop, we offer free set up of long arm machines in your home, free training on all machines, free servicing within the first year, and 20% off machines accessories. Plus, as we like to say, "you get us". With over 20 employees in our shop, you will always have someone ready to help you with your stitching  needs. Our certified technicians and trained educators offer the best in making your machine purchase an all inclusive investment. 

If you purchase your JANOME or ELNA machine from somewhere else we can teach you to operate your machine in a private class. Please contact our machine DEPT manager by email at Stephanie@alwaysinstitches1.com to make those arrangements.  We do not offer classes on machine brands other than Janome or Elna at this time.
