Where can I get a voltage converter for a US appliance in Ghent?

I am an artist who has just moved here. I checked almost all of my gear before coming, but decided to bring my own sewing machine at the last minute. I am having trouble finding out where I can get a voltage converter. I am living in Ghent, and would like to get a converter as soon as possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rebecca-

I'm not familiar with Ghent, but converters can generally be found at travel and camping (outdoor) stores. Otherwise, you can buy one pretty cheaply off Amazon UK, and then it will ship directly to you. Also, are you 100 percent sure you need a converter? Where is the sewing machine from? Perhaps you can get by simply using an adaptor (which are more readily available).
