Working with SewingSpecs
On SewingSpecs every machine has a spec sheet with data checked one by one. If you make or distribute sewing machines, embroidery machines or overlockers, here you'll find how to work with us — and the conditions, stated clearly before we start.
One condition is non-negotiable: no commercial agreement influences editorial assessments. We don't sell positive opinions, we don't remove verified critical notes, we don't offer privileged positions. If you don't accept this, it's fair to know before writing to us.
Current status, no beating around the bush
Today SewingSpecs has no active affiliation with manufacturers. Proposals are welcome, but a partnership doesn't change how a machine is published or assessed: it gets in because it matters to people who sew, not because it earns a commission.
Affiliate programs support the site: we're happy to accept them, and they don't change a single word of our assessments. A discount for readers who come from here? Always welcome, never required.
How we can collaborate
Four types of proposal, each with what we need to reply quickly. Write to us by email with the listed details: the subject is pre-filled to help us sort the messages.
Affiliate program / discount code
Do you have an affiliate program and want to propose it for your products? Write to us: a discount code or a bundle reserved for readers who come from here is always welcome, never required.
- Company / brand name
- URL of the existing affiliate program (if any)
- Commission currently offered
- Products you'd like to see published
- Willingness to offer a dedicated discount code or special package for visitors coming from here (yes / no / to discuss)
- Markets of interest (IT / DE / EN / all)
Send a product for testing
The «Tested by SewingSpecs» program: measured parameters and a real-world usage judgment, not just declared specs. We accept products on loan or as gifts, never with conditions on the test outcome.
- Company / brand name
- Product to test (name, model, official page URL)
- Availability date for shipping
- Product on loan or as a gift
- Any embargo until a date (for technical reasons only)
Verified Partner profile
A data verification and update service: «Verified Partner» badge, a direct channel to report new models and withdrawals, the right of public reply to critical notes. It doesn't buy visibility.
- Company / brand name
- Number of products currently published on SewingSpecs
- Marketing / PR contact
- Tier of interest (Starter / Standard / Pro)
Report a wrong value
Noticed a wrong spec on one of our sheets? Fixing it is the highest priority, partner or not. We need the source: without a verifiable reference we can't update.
- Link to the sheet with the wrong value
- Wrong field
- Correct value with source (URL required)
- Are you a brand representative? (yes / no)

What we never do
- We don't accept payment to write positive reviews.
- We don't remove verified critical notes at a brand's request.
- We don't change assessments in exchange for commercial agreements.
- We don't grant privileged positions in comparisons or results.
- We don't hide affiliate links: every commercial relationship is disclosed.
