Best Black Friday Sewing Machine Deals 2021 – Brother, Singer, Janome offers

We all love to save money when we shop for craft supplies, but we don’t want to compromise on quality when we do, so we’ve put together this guide to where to find the best Black Friday sewing machine deals. We’ll be adding daily new deals to this article throughout this week and into Cyber Monday.

Last year the coronavirus pandemic led to a surge in demand for sewing machines, with lockdown crafters turning to sewing in their droves, resulting in a global shortage of machines. But the good news is, if you’re looking for a new machine, stock has been building up again in the UK and US this year, and we’re already seeing a bumper crop of offers for both Black Friday and Cyber Monday this month.

Read on for our favourite offers if you’re looking for a bargain machine – we’ve also included a few good prices we’ve spied on the market for some of our favourite models. You really don’t have to break the bank to find a sewing machine that fits your budget. We see this as the perfect chance to find a trusted sewing machine at an affordable price.
