Work them into an existing pattern, or be inspired by the hardware to make your own.

Check out the full range in store, but if you can’t make it in, take a look at our online store with detailed pictures including sizes and finishes.

Brother sewing machines continually to bring to the market the best meeting of functionality, affordability and quality, and the NS10 is an excellent example of this.

Designed for simple sewing, the NS10 comes with all of the fundamental stitches – including 3 automatic buttonholes, and each stitch is as simple to select as a turn of a dial.  Durable enough to sew with everyday, yet light enough to effortlessly lift in and out of your sewing cupboard, the NS10‘s sturdy reliability is making it a popular choice for taking to classes or taking in the motor-home.

If you are looking for a machine that you can count on, that is simple to use and easy to handle, then you can’t go past this little workhorse.

With an RRP of $499, the NS10 is on sale for Mother’s Day for just $349

…and unlike department stores, at Sew This & That we will teach you how to use it.

Bonus! Purchase your Brother NS10 before 31st May 2013 and you will get a Bonus 6 Month Subscription to Better Homes & Garden Magazine!

Part of what we love about sewing is that it is rewarding hard work, and it is especially hard on our backs.  Make things more comfortable for yourself with SewComfort – the ultimate comfort chair from Koala.

Adjustable to support your spine, and with a specially designed back rest, this chair lets you find your most comfortable position so that those precious hours spent in your sewing zone are spent in comfort.  The foam is firm giving extra support both in the back for sitting upright, and under the legs when shifting your weight forward to lean in close to your work, while the gas lift height adjustment means that you can be at the right working height depending on what you are doing – an issue most common with free-motion sewing.  High quality, smooth rolling casters are braced by the elegant wooden base, and the recent addition of a foot-rest helps improve your posture.  Colour options include either a maple or teak finish base and Jade, Mocha, Sapphire or Wine shade upholstery.

Come in and try the comfort for yourself in store.  The Koala SewComfort chair is a great investment in your favourite hobby.
