Quilts and Lace

Checking out Sara’s hangout! Great store for quilter/​sewer. Many fabrics, notions, and patterns. I enjoyed talking to Al (owner). They have samples on hand of their classes but unfortunately, I do not have the machine used in most classes (embroidery).

My husband and I stopped in the other day to check out this store. I found the store through Unilocal (which I love). I read the reviews and they are very accurate. Allan, one of the owners, talked with my husband while I was looking around. I did buy some things, and Allan was very helpful. Their customer service is excellent. I am a quilter, and even though they don’t have hundreds of bolts of fabric, what they have is very good. Naturally, I did some some fabric, and a pattern, and a template. Their main business I believe, are the sewing machines, long arms and sergers, plus all the classes they give. If I lived in this area, I would definitely be taking classes. They were great, and I will stop in there every time I come to visit my brother.

I was looking for a sewing machine for my daughter for Christmas. She lives in Minneapolis, so while she was here, we were actually just scouting out what machine would suit her needs. We planned on her actually buying it up there because she did not trust it with the airline, and we weren’t sure how to ship it safely. Her friend had a Viking Emerald that she liked and she was set on that but I told her we needed to look at other brands. We found this shop, and are so happy we did. They had several Bablylock floor modesl on sale for an unbelievable price, and Allan was so helpful. He set my daughter up at the one she liked, gave her some quick instructions, and let her fly. Then when she asked to try another machine, he said «Well, fire her up!». When we said we were going to think about it and look at other Vikings, he told us the important things to look for in a machine. The other customers in there were buying very high end machines, and he called them by their first names, so we knew it was a shop with happy, repeat customers. One lady even gave us some advice on shipping options. My daughter LOVED the floor model machine, and we got as far as the parking lot, looked at each other and went back in and bought it. They offer free classes, and she was able to fit in 3 of them before she leaves, and can take 2 more when she comes home for the summer. They also have a great selection of notions and threads. I know when my old Singer dies, I will be up there for my next machine! I am so happy I found this shop.

A wonderful addition to our area. The owners, Allen and Aira, are delightful people. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They sell, repair and teach you how to use their Babylock Sewing and Quilting machines. They offer many other services. Prices are reasonable. I was so happy to find this store tucked away in one of the malls off Wickham Blvd. I know you will be as pleased as I am with this new business.
