Well two helpful thing you said - people are coming to buy supplies, and you have to drive traffic to your shop- who have the time!

Love your video reports!

I have heard of 3 sisters and their mother buying a really expensive sewing machine.

Starbucks has a holiday blend that’s really good. I got a bag for Christmas last year.

The Applaud looks appropriate for a business selling unique clothes.

For that price, I want it to greet me with a kiss and a cup of tea on startup. Gray haired ladies make up most of the group at classes and events at my local sewing machine store. Nice that they are so creative in their retirement. For me, it's encouraging to see excellent creativity with far more basic equipment.

I hope no one buys into the idea that their sewing skills are going to improve exponentially by buying one of these, Geez! I had a $1,000.00 computerized machine years ago (RIP, Kenmore) and it taught me that 194 of the 199 stitches were useless to me. I only miss the automatic buttonholer. My favorite current machines are a 1960 Singer 500a and a 1957 Singer 201. Can't kill either one of them. At least if I dropped the 38 pound 201, I wouldn't be worried about smashing it to bits! In the early 2000s, I bought a Simplicity serger that turned out to be a rebadged Babylock (all the accessories had Babylock stamped on them) and it's still going strong. I bought a coverstitch a few years ago and regret it. It really only does one thing, but it does it well.

I watch these videos because i like to see what they put into sewing machines these days. Im 36 and have been sewing on a 1950s kennore or a 1950s atlas sewing machine since i was a teen. I know how to clean and maintain my machines and repair because they are basic af and mechanical. Even my serger is a handme down 1970s juki. Runs great. I am a garment sewer, i make amazing garments on these simple machines. ❤ But the bells and whistles are interesting, i just dont think id use it. Embroidery machine is so cool. But intimidating. Lol

YEP! this is a lifestyle thingee on the serger. I ain't going to lie, i would LOVE TO GET INTO THIS LIFESTYLE AND TAKE MY SEWING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL (i am still in beginner mode using my measley SINGER HD4411 and been sewing bags for 2 to 3 years now) BUT RIGHT NOW I AM SUFFERING FROM A DISEASE CALLED, "MYFUNDSARELOW"

DOES IT TALK?

shot maybe in Napa Valley or Martha's Vinyard? all I know it's swanky and it looks like it has the flavor of an old Willams Sonoma or Pottery Barn commercial. IT SMELLS OF MONEY!! LOL!

whoa! Sara got a vinyard! She got money! no wonder she can afford this! lol!

24 thousand???? that's a downpayment on a house!! geez!!

would you beleive the Ditto is now 299.00 now? WOW!! when did it come out? was it last year?

56:17 so... you can buy one machine and feel like you live at a vineyard or buy the other so you can spend your time out of the board room making your own clothes? Can't help but roll my eyes at both ads 😂

Given the similarities between machines, I wonder if they are manufactured by the same company and it's just branding?

Buying from a dealer ensures you have a service person to repair/service your machine. Joanne, Walmart, Amazon are not there for you when you need help or have questions. They give lifetime lessons. They offer classes and education.

OHMYGAWWD!! THE DITTO IS NOW 299.00!! IF YOU ALL WANT ONE, NOW IS THE TIME TO GET IT!!! 299.00

I am a beginner sewer shopping for a sewing machine. It says it has a "Metal frame for long-lasting durability". When you say it is plastic - can you please explain what you mean? Which part is the frame?

latest victim. this is still happening

how does it work to get this company in court. Does it have to be in america and with american citizens. Which countries rules apply? who took over this company to prey on the creators and clients. Latest victim asking and not understanding why this is still a ongoing problem. they are o blatantly stealing from people all over the world.

Seems the only way to get a message to them is to delete your account. I just did even though I am now out $109. I was able to leave a message on why I am leaving them. Do a search and you will see they have been losing money and firing people. They are going down especially if we don't support them anymore. The thing that really burns me is the lack of contact. They never responded to me and yet did for Paypal. And btw, Paypal did not stand behind me. This company deceitfully checked all their boxes for what the banks are looking for.

It's not nearly as beautiful as the old all-metal machines, but what choice do we have today? If you need a few modern features (just a few, buttonhole and zigzag, am I asking for too much?) there isn't a single beautiful machine. They are all boring, white boxes. I keep thinking if you ask a painter to add a decorative line, it may look better than any other modern machine. This one could look better with a more vintage bigger wheel and overall more pointed design of the past. This machine is still too square and yet may be prettier than the rest of modern machines. I like Singer 160 more except for plastic and computerized part.

Ms Peaches is the best thing that ever happened to Dave!

I thought they were going out of business?

I went online and filled out the application last week. It did not ask for social media information. I didn’t submit mine, but I might. They claim they start at $16 hour.

Off topic, Love your blouse❣️ Did you make it?

Vintage singer was beautiful, in black

Yes! Apply! Be a mole!!😊

Does deleting my account help? I had gotten a free trial. I hope they don't charge me next month 😞

Happy Value fabric is OK for craft projects but NOT for clothing. I believe that it will be exempt from coupons, so ,,,good luck with that!

Another major issue that I saw repeatedly when I worked there (Fall 2023 - Summer 2024) was that there will be a stock room FILLED with inventory, so it's listed on the website, but it is not OUT for the customers to find. With staffing of only 2 or 3 people per shift, there were simply not enough person-hours being deployed to help get the stock out on the shelves. Many BOPIS (BuyOnlinePickupInStore) orders are shorted (marked as out of stock) because 2 people cannot run the cash register, answer the phones, cut fabric and answer customer questions... so be forewarned: just because it SAYS there are 12 skeins of that yarn at your local Joann's doesn't mean that it's going to be out on the shelf for you to pick up. Also - you cannot even imagine the mess in the stock room. I would go back and look to see if I could find something when asked,... but more often than not, there were shipping crates piled 4 high. Sorry - for $9.19/our I'm not going to pull these over on my head. Corporate keeps the store hours at a minimum to save money but I think it's going to end being their undoing. If you can't get your stock out, or people have little to no help with questions OR there are continually lines of 10+ people standing at the register,... they're going to vote on Joann's future with their FEET (& wallets)

How can you be a workplace of excellence when you don't pay a living wage? How does that help/support women?

I just hope that they are giving their existing employees enough HOURS before they start handing out hours to the seasonal help.

They are still doing the scam. I have been blocked they didn't answer

Here for the replay. Got sleepy around 3 and laid down and didn't wake you until 10 😂

No,Apply! They just want a warm body.

Sounds like Sally Beauty.

Sarcasm font: they need 6 more people to cut fleece? Our local store’s jewelry aisles are empty. EMPTY 😮 If it’s not fleece, flannel or cheap quilt cotton they do not sell it. They do not have a full compliment of sewing patterns. But wait, here comes more home decor. Thank you for your video, I hope they listen to you ( or us). •Who are their lower priced competitors? • Oh, no, influencers? Perhaps for new consumers, but current customers would increase purchases if they carried things we have been asking for. •Metrics for employment are numbers and numbers can be manipulated. •Survey says: when company is shaky, it’s not a top workplace

I like your color!!! Conditioner will lighten it more than shampoo, (it contains salt). Get it wet and condition everyday. 6 people per store for holidays?! We used to hire 15-20 for a medium size store, not an "Etc..." store. They do not search for socials. If you tell them, prob will not hire you. Nothing in the emp guide i had about socials. Its a great job for fabric-holics. 😂 You may think you're just gonna stand around all day at register or cut counter, NO. Its hard work, unloading truck, putting out an entire 18 wheeler worth of stock in 24 hrs of arrival and keeping store clean on top of that. Sorry ladies, but you're a bunch of slobs. That's why the stores are a mess, customers, not employees. Employee discount is 30% on everything, even sale items - except clearance and remnant fabrics. Discount works on sewing machines too! I applied just for giggles, I can get paid more at BK.

Quilters use fleece instead of batting and cotton backing for kids quilts and wall hangings to cut costs.

Jen, I am catching the video on the replay. Jen, I like the blouse you have on.

I love Halloween 🎃 I live for the autumn season! But the consumerism is rampant man. I'm even a fan of summerween ideas cuz I love spooky witchy anything. But I'm not gunna but everything that is trending. It's too much. Who can afford it and who can store it all????

This happened to me too. I bought figma course for my UI/UX class. The description is buy a course for 66 baht 90 discount. I bought it later they charge huge anount 2400 baht from me. The contact support is AI powered auto reply. there is no customer service at all

I feel like the Singer One was the best. Just my opinion

Has anyone managed to get a refund ? If you did how did you proceed ?

Thank you so much for raising awareness about the scam tactics from Domestika! Messing with customers like this will do serious damage to their credibility and I hope that your video will save other people the grief of being robbed. This is scandalous.

It’d be nice if Joann’s would pay more attention to keeping their good employees instead of just hiring new people. They’ve made it very clear they couldn’t care less.
