Our Commitment to Transparency
At TheBestSewingMachines.com, honesty is at the heart of everything we do. This page explains how we make money, so you can read our content with full confidence and clarity.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at absolutely no extra cost to you. In fact, you’ll often find the same price, or even a better deal, than if you went directly to the retailer.
Which Programs Do We Participate In?
TheBestSewingMachines.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. We may also work with other affiliate networks and brand partners from time to time, all of which operate under the same principles described on this page.
Does This Affect Our Reviews?
Absolutely not. Our reviews, recommendations, and ratings are based entirely on hands-on testing, real-world experience, and honest assessment — never on commission potential or brand relationships.
We will always tell you the truth about a product, including its flaws and limitations. If we don’t think a machine is worth buying, we say so — regardless of whether an affiliate link exists for it.
Your trust means everything to us. We would never compromise the integrity of our content for a commission.
Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?
Running this website — researching, testing, writing, and maintaining hundreds of in-depth reviews — takes a significant amount of time and resources. Affiliate commissions help us keep the site free, ad-light, and independent, so we can continue providing you with unbiased, expert guidance at no cost to you.
Think of it this way: when you buy through our links, you’re supporting the work that goes into helping 50,000+ sewists make better decisions every day — without paying a single cent more.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), we are required to disclose any relationship that may influence the content on this site. This Affiliate Disclosure fulfills that requirement.
You will also find disclosure notices within individual posts and pages where affiliate links appear.
A Note from Maria
“I only recommend products I genuinely believe in. Every machine I review, every guide I write, every link I share — it all comes from a place of real passion for sewing and a genuine desire to help you make the best choice. Your trust is the foundation of everything I do here, and I take that seriously.”
— Maria, Founder of TheBestSewingMachines.com
