Who is Janome Junkies?
Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. Let us introduce ourselves.
We are Janome Junkies, also home to Juki Junkies — your trusted, authorized Janome and Juki dealer based in Brandon, Florida. We’re a family-run business with over 10 years of experience, proudly serving the sewing community with passion and purpose.
This business was born from the creative heart of Carmen Wilson (aka Gigi) — a maker, educator, and dreamer. Gigi founded Janome & Juki Junkies with a mission to share her love of sewing while providing genuine, personalized support to fellow makers. What began as a passion has grown into a purpose: helping others confidently create through education, guidance, and community.
Our Mission is Simple:
To provide personalized, sincere, and honest customer support — not just during your purchase, but every step of the way.
We're here to educate, empower, and encourage.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned sewist, we believe in supporting you before, during, and long after the sale. When you call or email us, you're not reaching a stranger — you're reaching someone who truly cares. We’re here for YOU.
Our Core Values:
✨ Exceptional Customer Experience
Sewing can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out or diving into a new area. That’s why we make your shopping experience as smooth and supportive as possible. Have questions? We’re here with answers.
🧵 Honesty & Transparency
We’re not here to push a product. We’re here to help you find the right machine for your unique goals and projects. With so many creative paths to explore, our job is to guide you with clarity and care — no pressure, just partnership.
🌟 Exceeding Expectations
Our relationship doesn’t end at checkout. From setup to mastery, we’re by your side to ensure you love — and understand — your machine. Gigi is a teacher at heart and finds true joy in helping others learn and grow.
📚 24/7 Education & Support
Our commitment goes beyond the sale. We offer ongoing education through blogs, YouTube videos, private Facebook groups, and phone support (during business hours). We want you to feel confident and capable — fully tapping into your creative potential.
We hope this gives you a glimpse into who we are and the heart behind our brand. From our home to yours, thank you for trusting us to be a part of your sewing journey.
If you have any questions, we’d love to chat — give us a call at 813-661-9000 ❤️
