About Echidna Club

Gary Walker managing director of Echidna Sewing ProductsMy name is Gary Walker and I'm proud to say that Echidna Sewing Products is an Australian owned and operated family company run by myself and my wife, Cynthia. I have a long history in the sewing industry, starting my career as an Apprentice Sewing Machine Technician with the Stubbies Clothing Company, one of Australia's leading clothing manufacturers back in 1981.

In 1986 I started my own retail sewing machine sales & service business in Brisbane.

In 1988, eager to expand my career, I sold what was already a successful shop and was appointed State Manager for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. and soon after was promoted to General Manager for Singer New Zealand.
My five year association with Singer was a wonderful experience but I missed the one on one contact of retailing and in 1993 I bought back into my old business and started specializing in the sales of embroidery machines.

They say "Necessity is the mother of invention" and home embroidery machines needed a better threading system, so in 1995 I designed the Echidna Multi Spool Thread Stand, which of course was also known as the Martha Pullen Thread Stand. This led me to the United States where I soon developed relationships with some of the leading names in home embroidery.

The incredible growth of the embroidery industry was overwhelming, so much so that in 1998 I was forced to sell my shop yet again to concentrate solely on supplying the Home Embroidery Market with innovation and education.

Now, together with a dedicated and team of enthusiastic staff, Echidna is well recognized within Australia for supplying and supporting world leading products from software & design companies such as Generations Digitising Software, Buzz Tools Inc., digitise-wise™, Zundt Designs of Switzerland, Martha Pullen and Loralie Designs. Other famous brand products include Hemingworth, Belkin and Brother.

We are 100% committed to providing world class products, support, inspiration and education and we aim to build a truly unique and informative website for embroidery enthusiasts all around the world. 

Keep visiting on a regular basis as we will be continually adding and updating all aspect of the new EchidnaClub website.
