It makes my sewing machine run great. Just wish i could have just bought the leeds not the rollers things... Thanks Ethe A.

This is my second purchase from Allbrands. They have both been very good. I will surely buy from you again. You have products that I can't even find elsewhere.

Margie Campbell, Littlefield, TX
Best price on these. One good thing...with the new cable...you can hook up the cable first & test your existing encoders. Encoders rarely go bad... check the cable first.

Margie, Texas
Great service! Thanks!
