With Symposium starting this week we thought now was a great time to remind you that you can get an amazing deal on an ex-symposium machine! Prices like these are unlikely to be seen again so now is a great time to treat yourself to a new machine. BERNINA have also just added the B 435 to the ex-symposium deals. The B435 machine will also come with a FREE # 37 Quarter Inch Foot so that really is an incredible saving!

If you're interested in one of these machines you can find more info on our website and if you have questions please give us a call or come in store.

To bee, or not to bee, that is the question...

These fabrics by Dear Stella feature sweet little beehives, queen bees with their royal crowns, and some lovely florals.

Bag making just got easier! We know that finding pre-quilted fabric can be hard which is why we offer a service to quilt fabric to make your next bag making class or project a breeze!

All you need is two pieces of fabric for the front and back of your bag and either batting or soft and stable for the inner.

You can choose from any of our thousands of quilting patterns to make your project unique.
