Testimonial

For a number of years, Neil and his team have worked closely with us to provide our domestic embroidery sewing machines and supplies. Last year we were looking to upgrade our Husqvarna Embroidery machines for a newer model and we had a delightful experience from start to finish and on-going. With Coles’ highly personalised service, Neil was able to advise the best model to fit our needs and we now have a new fleet of machines that are easy to use and create high quality work for our students. It was really helpful that Neil was able to recommend accessories for the machines that would better support the students, as he has a good understanding of the kind of work we look to achieve with them.

Due to a change in staffing, we decided to ask Neil for a 2-day training course where he came to visit us at our Preston campus and taught us to use the Premier2 software needed to create the embroidery files. His tutoring took us through multiple ways of creating files and different affects which has been highly valuable in helping students to problem-solve when creating their designs. He talked us through some useful and previously unknown tools within the software which have improved the quality of the work we are creating which has made a huge difference.

As our ongoing supplier for threads and embroidery supplies, I know that whenever we have a question, I can pick up the phone and get in touch with Neil and have a clear answer quickly, which for our busy working environment, is perfect!”

Thanks
