Beth’s Creative Stitchery

Beth’s Creative Stitchery is the primary (and only, that I know of) dealer for Bernina sewing machines in central Ohio. I’m a Bernina gal myself, so this is where I take my baby for maintenence. She’s over 20 years old now, and stil humming along without any problems.
The shop (by square foot) is about ¹⁄₃ sewing machine sales/​repair, ½ classroom space, and ¹⁄₅ project supplies and kits. Very limited fabric selection, but I’d say this is more of a sewing-​machine-​needlework and technique place. Fairly large selection of books. I did get some nice dupoini silk here for a back of an all-​silk quilt though. I haven’t tried any of the classes here, but the calendar of events always seems fairly full with interesting projects.
My mother has often complained that the service here could be a little better– she’s had some trouble with having specific questions answered and her technical needs supported. Other Bernina dealers seem to offer more machine-​specific classes than Beth’s, she says.
Check out the classes if you’re interested in learning to sew. Otherwise, the merchandise at Beth’s is limited and highly specific.
