Introducing Brother's new V-Series!

We are proud to be launching Brother's new line of embroidery and combination machines, the V-Series. Stop in to Craft Land for a demonstration and test drive; you'll be impressed with the exciting new features Brother has added to these gorgeous machines.

V3 with free stabilizers & threads

 We have the V7, a combination sewing and embroidery machine, and the V3 for embroidery only. The V3 is Brother's response to customers' requests for a full-size embroidery-only machine with a large user-friendly screen and generous embroidery hoop sizes. This machine is fantastic if you already have a sewing machine that you love, and want to add embroidery to your work. The bonus? While your embroidery machine is stitching out beautiful designs, you can be sewing on your other machine.

sewing with lasers!

The V7 has some very interesting innovations unique in home sewing machines. The new dual-feed foot is like an enhanced walking foot, feeding your fabric smoothly to help cope with thicker fabrics, layered quilts and fine fabrics too. The new laser pointer helps you to acheive perfectly straight lines, and is adjustable so you can set seam allowances, stitch in the ditch, and even adjust decorative stitches so that they will end where you tell them to. Everything is controlled from the user-friendly touch screen, giving you a really great sewing experience. It's even super quiet while it sews - no need to turn up your music or TV!

For V7, we are giving you the Madeira Rayon travel pack AND the Quilter's Dream Cotton pack, plus the three stabilizers, valued at over 2,800AED. Offer is good until March 31st while supplies last.
