Transparency Matters
At BobbinHub.com, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This page explains how we earn revenue and how it relates to the content we publish.
How We Earn Revenue?
BobbinHub.com participates in affiliate marketing programs, primarily the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This is an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites like ours to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
What does this mean for you?
When you click on a product link in our reviews, comparisons, or buying guides and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
These commissions help us cover the costs of running BobbinHub—including hosting, research time, content creation, and site maintenance—allowing us to continue providing free, detailed reviews and buying guides to the maker community.
Our Editorial Integrity
Commissions Don’t Influence Our Reviews
Here’s our promise: we only recommend products we genuinely believe offer value to our readers.
Our affiliate relationships do not determine:
- Which products we review
- How we rate machines
- What we recommend in our buying guides
- The conclusions we reach in our comparisons
We evaluate every machine based on performance, features, build quality, ease of use, and value for money—not on potential commission rates.
We Highlight Both Strengths and Weaknesses
You’ll notice that our reviews don’t just praise products. We’re honest about limitations, drawbacks, and situations where a machine might not be the right fit. If a highly-commissioned product doesn’t meet our standards, we won’t recommend it. If a lower-priced alternative offers better value, we’ll tell you.
We Recommend Based on Your Needs
Different makers have different needs, budgets, and skill levels. Our goal isn’t to push the most expensive option—it’s to help you find the right option for your specific situation. Sometimes that’s a budget-friendly beginner machine. Sometimes it’s a premium model with advanced features. We guide you based on what makes sense for you, not what earns us the highest commission.
Additional Affiliate Programs
While Amazon is our primary affiliate partner, we may occasionally participate in other affiliate programs with sewing and crafting retailers. The same principles apply:
- We only partner with reputable companies
- Commissions never influence our editorial decisions
- We clearly disclose affiliate relationships
- Your trust matters more than any commission
Non-Affiliated Recommendations
You may occasionally see recommendations or mentions of products, brands, or resources that aren’t part of any affiliate program. We include these simply because they’re relevant and valuable to our readers—further proof that our recommendations are based on merit, not monetization.
How Your Support Helps
Running a quality review site takes time and resources:
- Research: Evaluating machines, comparing specifications, and staying updated on new releases
- Content Creation: Writing detailed reviews, comparisons, and buying guides
- Site Maintenance: Hosting, security, updates, and technical improvements
- Community Building: Responding to reader questions and maintaining our newsletter
When you use our affiliate links, you’re helping us continue this work without charging readers subscription fees or cluttering the site with intrusive advertising. Your support through affiliate purchases allows us to keep BobbinHub free and accessible to everyone.
Your Choice Always Comes First
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links.
If you prefer to navigate directly to Amazon or any other retailer, that’s completely fine. Our content remains freely available regardless of whether you make purchases through our links. We’re here to provide helpful information first and foremost.
