Online Shopping

We love telling you about new products and classes. We also know that it can be frustrating when you read all about them but can’t get into the shop to book or buy! Luckily our online shop is open 24/7 365 days a year! And shopping online at www.sewingshops.co.uk is ‘sew’ easy! (Click the pictures to get a better view!)

Simply search for your item by entering a description, or browsing a category.
Need more info, no problem! Simply click the item name for a more detailed description. When you’re happy, simply ‘add to basket’.

If this is your first online purchase with us, you’ll need to register as a new customer. Remember, you’ll only have to enter the details once and then you’re ready to shop!

Once you’ve checked your basket, just follow the instructions for secure payment. We use a Protex Secure Server so you can be sure that your transaction is safe.


Once received, Sandra will get your items out to you as soon as she can, but please allow up to 28 days for delivery. See our terms and conditions here http://sewingshops.co.uk/termsandconditions.asp

Software Saturdays

We’re so excited to tell you about the new ‘Software Saturday’ workshops due to start on 11th September. If you have Husqvarna Viking software you’ll be able to come along on a monthly basis, learn new skills through short exercises and get expert advice in our special clinic hour. The format will be as follows:
10am Coffee
10.30am-1.00pm Software Exercises
1.00pm - 2.00pm Software Clinic

As you’ll probably know, we have had a dedicated computer training room in the Studio since day one and Neil and Liz have been training you how to get the most from your embroidery software for many years now. Jayne Childs will be running Software Saturday; some of you may remember her software clubs and classes in previous years. Jayne is very keen to help you gain confidence in using your software and pass on many of the tips and tricks she has picked up using and teaching software.

Jayne loves using the internet for research and supporting her teaching. You can find her on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

New to Blogging?

We're fairly new to the world of blogs and other 'social networking' too! So we thought you might have a few questions for us, we've tried to answer them here.

• What is a blog? Well, the word 'blog' is short for web-log, so think of a blog as an online journal or diary. We post entries in date order, the latest ones are listed at the top.

• What is it for? Good question! Well, it is an easy way for us to tell you about the latest sewing news, products and help you get an insight into what goes on at Husqvarna Studio.
  

• What is the difference between a blog and a website? Technically there's not really much difference between a blog and a website. But to us, it's an easy way of sharing new things with you, and most importantly you can comment on the posts so you can give us feedback, ask us questions and share with other sew-ers.
  

• What are you going to blog about? We're going to try and blog about anything that happens in the shop, or might be relevant to fans of sewing. We're excited to share with you news about our courses, photos of our latest projects and classes, and tell you about new products that are arriving every day. We're going to try and update a couple of times a week, so keep coming back to see what's new (remember the new posts will be at the top, so they should be easy to find)
  

• What should I do next? Well, you don't have to do anything, just keep visiting us. However, you can leave us a comment to say that you've read the post, the comments are displayed below each post. You know we love to hear from you on the phone or in the shop, so tell us here what you're doing, ask us a question or simply say hello!  We've left it so you don't have to sign in to comment so if you do, tell us your name and where you're from, so we know who you are.
  

If you'd like to know more about how to get more inspiration from other sew-ers across the world, why not take a short class in our computer room? Jayne is teaching a class called 'Internet Inspirations' on Tuesday 9th February 2010 1pm - 3.30pm or Saturday 10th April 10am-12.30pm. You can book by clicking here or by telephoning 0115 9881550. Remember to tell us the title and date of the course when you book!


See you soon!
