Version 2.0
A brief history of Elizabeth Machines Co.
Elizabeth Machines Co. is a family owned business that commenced over 50 years ago.
Contrary to common thought, our name is not derived from a family member, but from
our first business address which was in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. We have been
supplying industrial sewing machines to the Australian and Pacific Island region since
that time and have seen many changes in both technology and the industry as a whole.
Like Gammill, we have worked hard to earn a reputation for quality products and
outstanding customer service. Taking care of the customer and our expert staff are still
fundamental values that drive us in the way we do business, and it is these values and
the family environment that have made our business the success it is.
We have been supplying Gammill equipment in Australia for more than 15 years. The
Gammill product introduced us to the quilting world and we have been fortunate to have
travelled to many interesting places in the country and met wonderful people at every
stop. It is always a terrific day sharing the excitement of installing a new shiny Gammill
for a customer, many of who have waited years to finally get one.
Many staff have been with us for over 15 years and our qualified sewing machine
technicians all have over 20 years experience. We can say with a great deal of confidence
that we provide the best after sales service of any quilting machine dealer not only in
Australia, but the world!
Every Elizabeth Machines Gammill customer has the peace of mind in knowing that they
have purchased through a reputable, long standing family owned business that will be
there when needed, today and into the future.

The computer controlled Statler Stitcher range.
Since their introduction in to the Gammill range, the Statler Stitcher models have been our most popular
selling machines. New owners are amazed by the brilliant design possibilities of the Statler Stitcher with
their own imagination being the only limitation, the possibilities are endless. Due to much less training time,
customers are able to produce finished quilts (and earn money) much quicker than those with hand guided
machines. Many feel they should start with the most powerful tool possible from the outset and others, it is
simply a “why not” decision after waiting so long for their Gammill dream to become a reality, so spoil
themselves from the outset.
Whatever the reason, there is no doubt the Statler Stitcher systems are wonderful. The machines creative
ability is brought to life by Gammills own designed operating software, Creative Studio. This software is all
built in house by Gammills own programmer.
Statler Stitcher customers have been an integral part of
Creative Studio’s design and operation, so functionality and operations are designed by quilters, for
quilters. Once you have yours, you too can help provide direction to the development of Creative Studio.
Better still, Gammill release updates to Creative Studio 2-3 times per year, so any newly developed tool that
will enhance your experience is available to all users. The best news is ALL Creative Studio software
updates are free of charge !
The system is currently supplied with
over 900 included patterns and of
course, there are thousands more
available from the various designers
around the world.
Simply tell the
machine which pattern or patterns you
wish to use, the size of the quilt and
where you want the patterns to be
placed and the Statler will do the rest, it
really can be that simple to complete a
quilt.
Edge to Edge quilting, Custom, Borders,
Blocks, Applique, stipple, meandering...
you name it, it can all be achieved on the
Statler.
The Statler is also a fully equipped hand
guided machine, so a quick 30 second
changeover and you’re away, hand
guiding the machine with stitch regulator
mode.
Simply put, the Statler Stitcher is not
only the jewell in Gammills crown, they
are the worlds finest and most powerful
quilting machines.

range.

Operator training is often carried out in stages, machine functions, loading (pinning on) the quilt, threading
the machines, use of the devices and general quilting technique training and machine maintenance are all
part of the initial tuition. Statler customers installation and training is carried out over two days to ensure
we cover the functions and tools of Creative Studio in detail as well as hand guided work, business tips and
other points of interest.

DVD’s are available for our customers to loan whenever they wish. Simply call to receive one, watch it,

Information on Australian Dollar Price Calculation
There is a common process we go through with customers when the anxious but exciting time comes to
place your order for your new Gammill. Once we have worked through your requirements and helped
determine which Gammill model is most suitable for your needs we then are able to immediately calculate
the total price for the machine to you in Australian dollars so you know exactly what the total investment cost
is, no add ons, no surprises.
How the calculation works.
The USD pricing on the previous page is Gammill’s standard machine pricing, in recent times Gammill have
run a number of special offers which could be a discounted price, free accessories or a combination of
both, please check with us to see if there are any specials currently available.
Gammill are located in Missouri, USA and for the machines to travel to us safely, they are very well packed
into custom built timber crating. Gammill charge USD $650.00 for this crating which needs to be added to
your machine cost. Of course, we also need to convert the USD cost to an Australian dollar cost, as you
may be aware, the banks unfortunately charge a commission on foreign exchange conversion, so the dollar
rate we see advertised daily in the paper or on the news is slightly adjusted down to the banks “sell” rate.
We use Westpac Bank so current foreign exchange rates and can be easily viewed at www.westpac.com.au
or give us a call to help you through.
Then of course, we need to have the machine freighted from Gammill, Missouri - Los Angeles - Australian
port - our warehouse - your door.
So, the calculation...

simple.
Typical Payment Terms.
Gammill require 100% payment prior to shipment, but we understand that is not the preferred way to do
business in Australia. With that in mind, we fund 50% of the cost ourselves and ask customers to put the
other 50% down as a deposit at time of order. If for some reason you are not able to immediately fund the
full 50% deposit, please contact us to try and negotiate a payment term that assists you with the purchase.
Ordering Process
We try and carry stock of the common selling models, therefore customers delivery time is very prompt,
when stock is not available, delivery is usually around 10 weeks from receipt of your order and deposit
payment. We will send you a written order confirmation which lists the model, accessories, cost and delivery
details of your order. We open an account in our computer system for you where your deposit shows and
this account is available for your future use when ordering consumables from us (needles, bobbin, pins etc)
Frequently asked questions
Q: How much space do I need to have for the machine?
A: We would recommend a minimum “comfortable” space of 4.3 metres x 2.4 metres for a 12ft Pivot Access
Professional table and 4.3 metres x 2.0 metres for a 12ft HomePro table. This space footprint allows for operator area.
Any more than this and you will be fine, any less than this and we’ll need to consider a smaller table and potentially the
swivel castor option to help you manage the space.
Q: I have never used a long arm quilting machine before, will I be able to “do it”?
A: YES ! Every customer starts in the same place as you are, gathering information on the machines arranging a
demonstration and working through the model selection. We have assisted customers begin and establish successful
quilting businesses for over 13 years. You can do it too!
Q: Which model should I choose?
A: We are able to guide you through this decision quite easily. We would ask what your ambitions are for the machine
and its intended usage. From there we can make recommendations that meet your needs and your budget.
Q: How long from time of order until delivery of the machine?
A: We generally try to carry the common selling models in stock ready for delivery, but sometimes we sell out or
customers order other models which we don’t carry on hand. The typical lead time via sea freight delivery is
approximately 10 weeks from receipt of your deposit until delivery is scheduled.
Q: How much deposit do we require?
A: As we pay Gammill 100% of the cost up front at time of order, we ask customers to deposit 50% of the total cost to
us. Therefore, you fund half and we fund the other half to Gammill. The balance is payable either when the machine
leaves our site to you or on completion of our installation. We will accept a smaller deposit if necessary in special
circumstances, so please discuss this with us if you need a non standard arrangement.
Q: Are there any used Gammills available?
A: It is quite rare for Gammill machines to become available second hand. We hear on average of one machine
changing hands per year, but these are usually sold by a user to one of their customers before we are asked to find a
buyer. We sometimes get asked to take trade ins of other brands for a Gammill, but we only deal in Gammill machines.
Once people get them, they don’t often let them go!
Q: Why is the USD price considerably different to the AUD price?
A: Our information pack outlines the price structure and identifies the import costs associated with its purchase.
Customers often are not aware of Gammill’s USD $650 crating charge, often underestimate the freight and customs
charges, then forget to add 10% GST to the final purchase price.
Q: Why can’t I negotiate a discount?
A: We are bound by our contract with Gammill that we will not discount the machine prices. Gammill often run special
offers where optional devices are included as a bonus special, please ask us if there are any specials currently on offer.
Q: Are there any hidden costs or extras I need?
A: NO ! We will quote you an all inclusive price to your door with no nasty surprises. Gammill machines are equipped
with all the features you need to run your business. Any optional devices you discuss with us will be offering creature
comfort value and are not considered necessary for you to use the machine successfully.
We again thank you for your enquiry an hope that we have
been able to provide you with a clearer understanding of the
world class Gammill equipment and the process in making
your investment decision.
