Why Hobbysew is the best for makers, because variety is the Spice of Life
![]()
At Hobbysew, we live by one simple philosophy: variety is the spice of life. Sewing and crafting are about creativity, individuality, and joy and no two makers are alike. That’s why we’ve built Hobbysew into the ultimate destination for sewists, quilters, and crafters across Australia. From sewing machines to fabrics, haberdashery to furniture, we pride ourselves on offering the widest range, the best brands, and the most inspiring products.
In this blog, we’ll share why Hobbysew is the best store for variety and why our customers keep coming back when they want choice, quality, and inspiration.
The Best Store for Sewing Machines
Every sewist’s journey begins with the right machine. At Hobbysew, we understand that no two makers have the same needs. Some want a simple, reliable starter machine. Others crave advanced features for embroidery, quilting, or heavy-duty garment construction. That’s why our range of sewing machines is second to none.
We stock trusted brands like Brother, Janome, and Bernina, Husqvarna, Singer, Elna, Bernette, Juki and Pfaff each known for their innovation and reliability. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’ll find a machine that feels like it was made just for you. Variety isn’t just about having options, it’s about empowering you to choose the machine that matches your creativity.
The Best Store for Overlockers
For those who love garment sewing, an overlocker is a game-changer. It delivers clean seams, professional finishes, and the ability to work with stretch fabrics effortlessly. Hobbysew is proud to be the best store for overlockers, offering models that suit hobbyists and professionals alike.
Our team helps customers understand the differences between machines, guiding them toward the perfect choice. With our variety, you’ll never feel limited—you’ll feel inspired to take your sewing to the next level.
Fabric is the heart of sewing, and Hobbysew’s shelves are a rainbow of possibilities. From quilting cottons to specialty textiles, our fabric collection is curated to spark creativity. We believe variety is essential because the right fabric transforms a project from ordinary to extraordinary.
Customers love browsing our aisles and website, discovering new prints, textures, and colours. Whether you’re making a quilt, a dress, or a craft project, Hobbysew is the best store for fabric variety.
Quilters know Hobbysew as their happy place. We offer everything a quilter could dream of: fabrics, templates, rulers, batting, and accessories. Our variety ensures that whether you’re piecing your first patchwork or creating a show-stopping heirloom quilt, you’ll find the tools and inspiration you need.
We don’t just sell quilting supplies, we celebrate quilting as an art form. Our staff are passionate about helping customers bring their visions to life, and our variety makes that possible.
Crafting is about exploration and Hobbysew is the best store for crafters who love to try new things. From embroidery kits to craft supplies, we offer variety that encourages experimentation.
We believe crafting should be fun, accessible and inspiring. That’s why our shelves are stocked with products that spark curiosity and creativity. Variety means you’ll always find something new to try.
By offering all three, we give customers the freedom to choose. Variety is about respecting different preferences—and Hobbysew delivers.
