"I brought in an old Singer machine I recently inherited from my Grandmother. They cleaned it, tuned it up, and replaced all the missing/damaged parts for about $86. Definitely reasonable!
I also took the opportunity to sign up for a sewing class while I was there. Since I am an absolute beginner, the lady recommended I take the upcoming "Crazy Strip Quilt" class just to learn some basics and get used to using the machine. My first class was yesterday and I really REALLY enjoyed it! The staff is so helpful and they answered all my questions. I'm excited to sign up for more classes in the future! This place is a real gem!"

"Sewing machine miracle workers! Staff was so helpful and friendly, assisting in finding a (cheap) replacement part for my old Kenmore sewing machine. They also stocked me up with the right needles, thread & bobbins so I'm ready to roll (sew).
The store is quite large, lined with tables of machines (for classes, demos), rows and rainbows of thread, and miscellaneous accessories/parts. They offer lots of sewing classes for those interested in learning, and they can also service old machines for regular maintenance and unique problems. These types of specialized (friendly) stores are few and far between!"

But the real gem here is the staff and the sewing lessons. If you buy a new machine they will give you an hour get-acquainted lesson on your machine and then additional sessions as you need them.

I am on my second set of lessons and want to go back for more! Compared to lessons at other places, I will not name, this is absolutely the best value and the best for continuing education. It's not trendy or in a cool neighborhood but it's the real deal."
