About
AllBrands.com
In 1976 our owners, John and Annette Douthat, began in the fabric business. Over time, they added sewing machines and eliminated fabric. In 1996, one of their sons asked "Why aren't you on the Internet?" Their response was "What's the Internet?" They learned fast and now AllBrands.com is a leading Internet retailer of all brands of sewing machines, vacuums and appliances.
