Exclamation Point

I am not a needlework person! But, after visiting here, it made me want to be one! Very helpful and wonderful Melanie helped me purchase a birthday gift.

Saw this store on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. Drove from Hayward to check it out and it was worth the drive. Heather was delightful, and didn’t act annoyed when I obviously interrupted her lunch date. I have noticed from some Unilocal reviewers that they sometimes feel ‘ignored’ or ‘neglected’ when going to other craft stores. Seriously, all I said was that it was my first time in and I got a grand tour. Heather also helped me pick out some differing thread colors that were not what my pattern suggested-​just to mix things up and be a bit more creative. I loved that. I also purchased some linen for my pattern that ‘oops’ I also purchased. I had no idea what linen to choose so Heather gave me two choices and-​ok done. I get that it may be easier to buy online but if we, as a crafty community, keep doing this we will have no more places to go to see our kind. (: For those that may think it’s more expensive I went on line to Crabapple Hill and their pattern was just fifty cents less, and with shipping it would have been more. And two words– STORE CATS!

The mother and daughter who run the business are well organized, knowledgeable, and helpful. I wish they were closer to where I live

Great shop. Wonderful canvases, fabulous fibers!!! A nice place to sit and stitch, too. Melanie and Heather are very knowledgeable in their crafts — can always be counted on to work out stitch charts and pick colors. If you haven’t checked out Exclamation Point yet, you should.

Heather is a color wizard. This shop is not near my home, but it’s worth the drive. My neelepoint projects are popping as never before, amazing what a difference her input makes. I feel lucky to have found her, and this shop.

Very nice little shop. Good assortment of embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint and yarn. Great thread inventory, very extensive.

I love this shop! They are friendly and helpful. It is nice having a store like this so close by, where I can pick up needed supplies. Love their selection of projects as well. Visiting the store will bring a smile to your lips!

I love shopping at Exclamation Point. The shop is easy to find, and is beautiful with all the threads and yarns. I am in love with color. The shop also has wonderful pictures to choose from. Melanie and Heather are both very intelligent woman and very quickly understand what I am working on and very lovingly assist me in picking out the threads and yarns I need. They also have really good selection of products to use to assist with needlework projects, such as sisors, needles and other products. I love going to that shop.

Exclamation Point is a friendly, helpful place to come for needlework and other stitching supplies. I love the monthly Stitch ‘N It meetup group where you can sit and stitch while comparing projects with a fun group. They have an extensive selection of canvases and threads as well as unique knitting yarns. Melanie and her staff are always ready to help with tips on how to improve your stitching and which materials to use.

Melanie is always so helpful with thread ideas, stitches and she will even order canvases you may find online from other retailers. While the Internet seems to gave taken over the world of shopping, there is nothing like the excitement of walking into Exclamation Point and looking, touching and laying out your chosen threads and fibers on that new canvas visualizing your next work of art. Thanks to Melanie for keeping the art of needlecraft alive in our community.

Same great store and same great people running this shop. Exclamation Point has moved to Santa Clara. You should really come on in an see the upgrades!

If you are into needlepoint, or just love different threads and fibers for other crafts, then you are going to love this store. I have been to quite a few needlepoint stores and this one is still my favorite. There are many handpainted canvases orgainized by theme. But what really strikes you when you walk in the store are the hundreds of threads and fibers all over the walls. The staff is also very helpful and friendly. Exclamation Point is the type of store that makes you want to keep going back!
