Test out the new Janome Horizon @ Bambers!

Bambers was established in 1946 by Roy Bambers, and is now ran by Roy's son's, Alan and Steve. It has traded from various locations around the Manchester area, and now has large premises on Liverpool Road, just off J11 on the M60. Bamber's has the full range of Janome machines on display, so just pop in for a demonstration or check out any new Janome accessories! Today, we held a Janome Horizon Test Drive event, a great opportunity for ladies to try out the machine before they purchase. The Jog Dial, which can be seen below, is a quick way of choosing stitches... and look at the huge clear extension table... this is included with the machine!

There classroom has lots of space to spread out and great natural light, an ideal place for sewing. They hold several regular sewing and quilt classes, just check out their website for full details. Workshops.


Bambers has a wonderful selection of haberdashery, patchwork fabrics, quilting wadding's, and dress fabrics... well worth a visit next time you are in the area!


And, if you are a dress maker, check out their range of English Couture interlinings!

Test Drive of the new Horizon @ Bambers Sewing Machines

Last week Bambers Sewing Machines in Eccles ran a Test Drive day on the Horizon 7700QCP. This was a chance for ladies who are thinking of buyer the machine to have a "hands on" session and Test Drive the machine, as you would Test Drive a new car!
The Horizon has lots of wonderful features, such as the adjustable knee lift you can see below,


and the huge clear extension table for supporting your quilt when you are sewing.
The new Play Stitches look beautiful when stitched out using the Janome Border Guide Foot (this foot is included with the Horizon 7700QCP), and the ladies just fell in love with the little bobbin of thread and dress form embroidery stitch!

Bambers run various sewing workshops, from regular quilting groups to special millinery and bag making classes. Check out their website for more information.
