May I just say I would NOT recommend anyone buy a machine from Coopers – I had a nightmare when I tried to buy one, if anyone wants to check out Mr Cooper's service history, then google the company as I am by far not the only one who had a bad experience… the man is a lunatic who abuses customers. I was sent 2 faulty machines and Mr Cooper had a go at ME when I complained and hung up on me. I did get a refund though.
Honestly, I just googled Coopers again and am quite concerned that this company are using Sew Retro to garner custom when they are offer such BAD service. They must have some successful transactions as they would not be able to keep operating I suppose, but I urge anyone who is thinking of buying something to research the company first to make their own mind up.
Oh wow! I'd really love to win this. Look at all those beautiful colors!!!
Oh, thread! The one thing I'm always missing when I want to start a new project. 🙂 (Email in blogger profile!)
