Sewing Tips and Techniques
If you've ever dreamed of owning a Baby Lock machine, but would like to see first hand just how effortless they are to use and how beautiful the stitches are, come along to our open day on either Friday 17th April 2026 or Saturday 18th April 2026 from 10am to 3pm at our showroom in the East Midlands..
Join Lucy and the Sew Essential team plus special guest Katy from Baby Lock to get up close and personal with the full range of Baby Lock overlockers and coverstitch machines. What we don't know between us isn't worth knowing!
The event will be friendly and informal so if you'd like to join us for an hour (or five!) just come along. All we ask is you either complete this form or send us an email to sales@sewessential.co.uk to register your interest and we'll provide the tea, biscuits and sewing fun! We'll also email you with further details closer to the day.
Our showroom is on the Derbyshire / Leicestershire border between Ashby de la Zouch and Swadlincote. If you want to double check your travel distance our postcode is DE12 6EJ and you can find us at this link to Sew Essential on Google maps.

Enter DE12 6EJ in your satnav and it will take you directly to our trading estate. Follow Marquis Drive all the way to the end and through the white gates. Once through the gates our unit is at '2 o'clock ' - you'll probably notice the big 'Sew Essential' sign on the front of the building!
There's plenty of parking at our premises and we're very easy to reach from both the M42, M1 and A38.
Our rural location makes it a bit difficult to get to via train. Our closest train stations are either:
Burton Upon Trent (BUT) train station + 8 mile taxi journey
Tamworth (TAM) train station + 13 mile taxi journey
We hope to see you in April!
