Today I went to the annual Sewing for Pleasure show at the NEC, Birmingham, UK. I like many from the UK was interested to see what the Sweet Pea machine embroidery stall was like. Sweet Pea have just set up a base in the UK. The stall looked vibrant, as it was just half an hour into the second day of being open I was somewhat surprise to find that the stabiliser I wanted was sold out and a casual 'oh its available on the website' reply. Yes it is on the website but at a higher price. I then was charged £18 for the length of gold zipper and not the correct price of £9. I did get my money back. Will I buy fabric etc from them again? To be honest I am not sure.
My friend and I had a great day out and enjoyed ourselves very much. She bought far more than I did including a set of heavy duty garden furniture which will be delivered at a later date
