The Problem With Buying Online

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.

For You If…

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.

What Happens After You Buy the Right Machine

Real customers who found their perfect machine at Hi Fashion — and kept sewing.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

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!

Common Questions

Sewing Machine Questions, Answered

If you don't see your question here, call us — (970) 256-1293.

What sewing machine brands do you carry in Grand Junction?
Hi Fashion is a dealer for Baby-LOCK, Bernina, and Janome sewing machines. We carry models across all three brands — from beginner machines to professional-grade equipment. Visit our store at 2584 Patterson Rd in Grand Junction or call (970) 256-1293 to ask about current inventory.
What's the best sewing machine for a beginner near me?
For most beginners, we recommend starting with a Brother machine — they're designed to be intuitive, forgiving, and easy to thread. But the best machine depends on what you plan to make. We always ask about your projects before making a recommendation. Call us or come in and we'll point you in the right direction.
Is Bernina worth the investment compared to other brands?
For experienced sewists who plan to sew seriously for years, yes — most Bernina owners say they wished they'd bought one sooner. Bernina machines are Swiss-made and built to last decades. The cost is higher up front, but the quality, precision, and longevity typically justify it for anyone committed to the craft. If you're a beginner or casual sewer, a Brother or Janome is likely a better starting point.
Do you sell used or trade-in sewing machines?
Call us at (970) 256-1293 to ask about our current inventory and any available pre-owned machines.
Which sewing machine is best for quilting?
For quilting, we most often recommend Janome's quilting line or Bernina's Q series. Quilting machines need a wide throat space (to maneuver large quilt layers), consistent tension, and smooth feeding across multiple fabric layers. Come in and we'll walk you through the options based on what kind of quilts you want to make.
Can I try a sewing machine before I buy it?
Yes — our machines are on the floor and available to try in-store. We encourage it. One of the biggest mistakes people make buying online is purchasing a machine they've never sat at. Come in, bring some fabric if you'd like, and actually sew on a few machines before deciding.
Do you service the machines you sell?
Yes — and we service all brands, not just the ones we carry. If you buy a Brother, Bernina, or Janome from us, you have a local shop for the life of that machine. No shipping it across the country for a tune-up. Bring it in and we'll take care of it.
Do you offer sewing machine classes after purchase?
Yes. We offer machine-specific classes that teach you how to use your exact machine — not just generic sewing basics. If you buy a machine from us and want to learn it properly, we have a class for that. Check our Classes page or call us for the current schedule.
