STOCKS 4 LYF!! I've bought 2 embroidery machines from Stocks based on their great price and excellent training. Annette was SO helpful, she was my point of contact for all things embroidery throughout the process. Will definitely be back to buy another multi-head once I outgrow my workshop.

This is the third ZSK machine I've had the pleasure of getting through Stocks and am, as always, really satisfied. I rely on my machines & work them extremely hard and am seriously glad I went this route.

Thank you to the team at Stocks for the hassle-free purchase of our recent ZSK 6 Head embroidery machine. Andrew and the team were very accommodating and installed the machine with ease. I'm sure we'll be back very soon for more machines!

Stocks are an excellent company to deal with, especially if you are unsure of what is most suitable for your requirements. From your initial enquiry to installation by their engineer, you get superb advice, great customer service and fair prices. I've bought both a sewing machine and a ZSK embroidery machine and couldn't be happier with my whole customer experience.

Stocks were very informative in my transition between the PR and ZSK, and are always willing to help me in any way possible, however stupid the question seems. Pleasure to deal with both Andrew and Jenny and would highly recommend Stocks.

Bought my second machine from Stocks and had it installed last week. I can't speak highly enough of the ZSK machines - we run ours morning, noon and night and they just take it in their stride.

Exceptional Service. Andrew and the team took the time to fully demo and explain a used machine. Paul oversaw the installation and training perfectly and the machine has been running flat out in production ever since. Very pleased.

We had a 'unique' entryway to get our machine in. They don't bend very easily - especially when German built! Stocks did a sterling job making sure it would fit and then installed it. The training was superb as well - Thank you to Dan!
