As a result of a discussion elsewhere, I'm looking into Singer commercial grade machines, particularly the CG-754 serger/overlocker and the CG-590 with 14 stitches and a 4 step buttonhole.
Does anyone here own one, or has used one and can comment? I'd be particularly interested in a UK stockist.
Try ringing someone like Colin at Tysons (02085741587) they probably sold them new; they have three shops in London and have been trading for 59 years Southall was the rag trade capital for years, if they had anything to sell which interests you need to speak to Paul Tyson the owner for discount. Please mention Liz from Milton Keynes recommended. Hope this helps Liz
I spoke to a nice chap at Bogod in London today: Yuss... Bernina nanny Singer here in the UK! He told me they are USA only machines, and the closest thing he could recommend was the Bernina 1008, and all mechanical machine. I found some at a good price at Sewing Direct. I passed on the information to the person who wanted top know.
Ooh! That's what I've got.
I've only ever had two problems with them. Once one went bang but for some reason it carried on working afterwards. And once I electricuted myself by putting my finger in the bulb socket whilst trying to screw the bulb in tighter only to find out someone had "borrowed" it. Doh!
