The Right Machine Changes Everything
Stop guessing online. Visit Grand Junction's sewing machine experts — we've been fitting sewists to the perfect machine for 60 years.
Amazon Ships a Box. We Fit You to the Right Machine.
Thousands of sewing machines end up in closets every year — not because the machine was bad, but because nobody helped the buyer choose the right one. Big-box stores don't sew. Amazon doesn't offer classes. And when something goes wrong, you're on your own.
- We ask what you're making before recommending anything
- You leave knowing how to use your machine — not guessing
- We service the machine we sell you for life
- If something goes wrong, call us — a real person answers
- Take a class to build skills alongside your new machine
What Are You Making? We'll Find the Right Fit.
Every sewing machine we recommend starts with one question: what do you want to create? Tell us your projects — we'll tell you your machine.
You're Just Starting Out
Never sewn before — or coming back after years away. You need a machine that's intuitive, forgiving, and teaches good habits. Not so basic it frustrates you. Not so complex it overwhelms you.
You're Quilting (or Want to Start)
Quilting has specific requirements — a wide throat, consistent stitch quality, and the ability to handle multiple layers of fabric. A quilting machine makes the craft enjoyable. The wrong one makes it a fight.
You Want to Embroider or Add Embellishments
Embroidery machines open a whole new dimension of creativity — monogramming, decorative designs, personalized gifts. You need a machine with the right hoop size and design library to match your ambition.
You're an Advanced Sewist Ready to Invest
You've outgrown your current machine. You know what you want: precision engineering, expanded stitch options, industrial reliability, and a machine that won't hold back your skills. Bernina is where most advanced sewists land.
Reliable. Versatile. The Most Recommended Machine for New Sewists.

Baby-LOCK makes some of the most intuitive sewing machines available — and they back it up with quality that holds up for years. If you're buying your first machine, or getting one for a family member, Baby-LOCK is where most of our customers start. They won't outgrow it right away, and they won't be frustrated trying to figure it out.

Swiss-Made Precision. The Machine Serious Sewists Save Up For.
Best for: Experienced sewists, quilters, and anyone ready to invest in lifelong quality
Bernina machines are built in Switzerland to standards that make most other machines look like drafts. If you've been sewing for years and your current machine holds you back — tension issues, poor stitch quality, limited features — Bernina is what's waiting on the other side of that frustration. Most Bernina owners say they wish they'd bought one sooner.
- Swiss-engineered precision stitching — even through thick layers
- Industry-leading stitch variety and customization
- Exceptional durability — machines that last decades
- Compatible with a wide range of presser feet and accessories
- The quilting standard: wide throat, consistent tension, perfect seams
Smooth Stitching. Easy to Use. A Machine That Grows With You.
Best for: Quilters, intermediate sewists, and anyone who values reliability with room to grow
Janome machines hit a sweet spot that's hard to find: they're genuinely easy to use without being dumbed down, and they have the features that keep experienced sewists happy for years. Quilters in particular love Janome's stitch consistency and wide-throat options — it's the machine that rewards skill as you build it.
- Exceptionally smooth, even stitch quality right out of the box

What Happens After You Buy the Right Machine
Real customers who found their perfect machine at Hi Fashion — and kept sewing.
The people are amazing here at Hi Fashion. I had never touched my machine, and decided to take a beginner class here to see if I would enjoy this hobby. One 'basics' class generated amazing excitement for me and gave me all the knowledge I needed to take off running! everyone is so knowledgeable and willing to help. I would never go anywhere else!
of course, everything. I love this place. Great staff!!!!! Great repairs and love the teachers. Plus, who else knows so much about sewing and quilting. If they don't know they would surely find out for you. Been going to Hi Fashion for over 25 years now. Thanks for being there.
My experience with buying my Janome M7 was outstanding!! Lorraine is very professional and gave me a great lesson on using the new beast!! I ended up buying a very cute chair and some other accessories!! I’m throughly impressed with this shop and plan to visit again soon!! Road trip!!
