SUPER GREAT cackling away with the Brother machine. Seems about as comfortable with this as a 34” waist pair of non-elasticated action slacks on Giant Haystacks..The Teddy Bears Repair Shop Type type lady with her looks like she’d prefer to be somewhere else. SUPER GREAT so desperate not for silence she asks her about the different customer languages available for the item. Steady on… find some English speaking ones first.

Sarah the guest is on Create and Craft quite regularly normally more cheery than she is tonight though
 
Is it made of gold?
No My Dad purchased a simular one a few years ago on the old Create and Craft, and won like £400 of Fabrics, Tools etc, he makes bags, and makes his own T-shirts as he does RC Flying and I enjoy RC Cars, so he has done like T-shirts with a airplane and Cars on

To be honest, I bet they sold none tonight, as it isnt something u buy just like that, you talk to your partner etc, I remember when my dad bought his, he asked mum if he could, she replied with you will bloddy order it anyway

Brother sell much cheaper sewing only machines on Create
 
A £3000 sewing machine?? Now, just who are they aiming for with that one? Potential new viewers just catching the ‘inclusiveness‘ of it all? How is devoting an hour to that particular item going to establish a broad buying base? I mean, that’s what they want, isn’t it? Regular footfall buying sensibly priced, known brand items between £20 and £200 that make good commercial sense for both the customer to buy and the retailer to get a decent return on. Not ‘clubs’ and ‘fun’. I don’t shop to have ‘fun’. Amazon doesn’t crack a joke to me when I buy from them. They give me often the best price on the things I want, give me a good deal on postage and packing via Prime, send the stuff quickly (and then leave it outside the front door ….er..) and if Bertie Lightfingers does pinch what they’ve left, refund you without argument.

They seem to have some solo notion of cementing the non-crafting goods with the specialist crafting customer buying base they already have, who presumably coped perfectly well with buying their non-crafting goods elsewhere and long-term before Shop Extra came about? Friendship and unity is NOT are not good enough reasons to get them to change. Hugely expensive specialist items like sewing machines and cheap wigs isn’t the way forward to establish a successful general goods shopping channel. They do realise that, DON’T THEY??
 
I don't know them personally of course, but I really dislike the selly-telly styles of PS and MM.

But at least MM seems to have disappeared (so far). I expect he is at home fondling the glass worry angels he shilled, hoping they will work for him, assuming he bought some. I'm sure he must have, as they were so effective (so he said).

I can see why that would appear on a crafting channel, but not Shop Extra. At that kind of price, that's not for folks that are just doing crafting as a casual hobby, that's more for someone who would needs a sewing machine for making money, side business working from home.

Yeah that is the kinda machine, you buy if you do it for a business, not for just general sewing hems etc, my dad did buy the previous model but that’s him.

If they really felt the need to have to have a sewing machine on there last night, there are several in stock on the create and craft website, all at more sensible prices
 
Excited for Swan & Edgar tonight! Hope there are some free cufflinks (they're worth £70 on their own). I hear some clever people buy the watches and sell the cufflinks on eBay to offset the cost of the watch. Smart people!
