As Avital and her fiancee planned their wedding, they wanted the details to feel personal without having to buy every specialist tool themselves. Some of the things they had in mind, like embroidered napkins, handmade orders of service and table decorations, would have been expensive to outsource and impractical to make without the right machines.

Through Hygglo, Avital rented a Janome Memory Craft embroidery machine from Annabel. At pickup, Annabel showed her how the machine worked and made sure she had what she needed to get started. Later in the day, when Avital ran into a few threading problems while working on the napkins, she sent photos in the Hygglo chat and Annabel helped her troubleshoot.

That support made a big difference. After a quick fix, the machine was working smoothly again, and Avital could keep going with the embroidered napkins for the wedding.

The embroidery machine was not the first creative tool Avital had used through Hygglo. Earlier, through her fiancee’s account, they rented a Cricut machine to make fans, orders of service, table numbers and other decorative details. Together, the rentals helped them create personal wedding pieces that would otherwise have been much harder, or much more expensive, to make.

After the rental

This embroidery machine was perfect, did exactly what it said on the tin. Annabel was really helpful both when I picked up the machine and answering questions throughout the day when needed.

For Avital, Hygglo became a way to access the kind of creative tools you may only need for a short time, but that can make a big difference to a meaningful project. With help from Annabel, and with Marge overseeing the work at home, the wedding details became something personal they could make themselves.
