I bought my Elna sewing machine here. They were very helpful. They know what they are doing. The store does need a major cleaning.

I stopped by today for the first time and I will definitely be back. I was happy to find out they rent time on a long arm. Lots of great fabrics and machines. I plan on taking some classes in the near future there.

I purchased my first sewing machine. I got free classes and I am having fun with the owner. She is super nice and helpful she’s knows a lot about sewing machines. She showed me how to do a lot of fun things on my new Janome. Thank you!
