A bit of history about S Nutt Sewing Machines.....

Richard from S Nutt Sewing Machines has written a few words about the history of the family business......

"After over sixty years trading at the same shop in Alum Rock, Birmingham, S Nutt Sewing Machines has moved to a new shop in Nechells.
We've been trading here for a year and going from strength to strength. A lot of our loyal customers have followed us to our new location. We are the third generation to be selling and repairing sewing machines.
Our grandfather started the business after originally selling pianos. His son, Steve Nutt, took over next. Now the shop is run by us, his two sons Tony and Richard, though dad still comes in to help.
The family are proud to be selling a wide range of Janome sewing machines including the Janome MB4 model. After 60 years this Birmingham sewing machine business is still adapting and developing. This year will see the launch of our new website, showcasing Janome products to an ever-growing customer base.
