Hi

Has anyone had any experience (or knowledge) of Joy's International 
Sewing Machines Limited? And of their machines of course :-)

Since our ten-year-old New Home sewing machine died after being dropped 
on the floor, we're looking for an inexpensive sewing machine - for 
occasional use only. After Googling about, we've found the range that 
can be seen at:

We've only found a couple of complaints way back in 2005 - and we would 
have thought that there would have been more smoke since, if the company 
or their sewing machines were dodgy.

Another thing that puzzles me is the difference(s) between their various 
models. Reading the specs they all seem to be the same (though they do 
look slightly different). We've emailed the company but haven't so far 
had a response.

We use our sewing machine mainly for hemming and alterations with little 
actual dressmaking.

We'd appreciate *constructive* responses and not the usual "if it's that 
cheap it *must* be rubbish" comments.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
