A note from our sponsor!
“We are so excited to be working with the Love Embroidery team on their National Embroidery Month campaign and helping to unite stitchers from all around the world as we celebrate our shared passion for sewing. It’s great to see people getting creative with thread – it’s at the very heart of everything Brother Sewing Machines do” Guy Baker, UK & Ireland General Manager

More about Brother Sewing Machines
Brother started out as a family business back in 1908, and sewing machines were its very first specialism. Under the strong leadership on the Yasui brothers, it set a precedent for breaking boundaries and building innovative, expertly designed and affordable sewing machines. From perfecting the mass production of sewing machines in 1932 to introducing its first electronic machine in 1976 Brother has always been the trail blazer of the sewing machine industry. Fast forward 100 years and the business has grown into a multinational corporation, but with the same spirit of experimentation and commitment to creativity as it has always had. While the brand might also be known for its pioneering office technology, it continues to take pride in creating innovative, expertly built sewing, embroidery and quilting machines that are suited to all skill levels. So, whether you’re a keen beginner of a seasoned pro, it is always at your side.
