Located about seven miles from US 20, which is a major east-west corridor, this shop has a sign you cannot miss! It was made based on a much larger sign near the Bernina factory. The shop is owned by Cleason and Karen Martin, and it is a wonderful break from driving – not mention a good place to find some fun fabrics. You will want to check out both the fabrics and the machines, as there is a great selection of both! They also service all brands of sewing machines, so give them a call if your machine is having issues.
Let’s start with the fabrics. There are over 500 bolts on hand here, with solids, tone on tones, and blenders. Then there are small and large prints, and a nice collection of batiks. Wide back are available, as are panels. There are kits for both quilts and panel projects, and a great selection of patterns. Note that patterns are hung on shelves by the fabrics, just to tempt you… If your iron is struggling, check out the Laura Star Steam System.
The shop has a great selection of samples on display, with patterns for all and kits for some. You can always pick your own fabrics if the kit doesn’t match your decor.
The bag at the right was made from panels, and it is both stunning and spacious. There is a pattern available, and of course you can pick the panels of your choice. Part of me wants to make it with different panels on each side – maybe mountains on one side and ocean on the other?
Long Arm services are not provided in house, but the shop is a drop off and pick up point for several local craft-persons.
As you night guess from the sign, this shop is a registered Bernina dealer. They also have a wall of feet and other accessories, visible behind the machine in the photo, so if you are looking for a particular item, do please check them out. Sewing Machine and Serger travel cases are also on hand. They also carry a large selection of embroidery threads and Dakota Collectibles embroidery patterns.
Please plan to spend at least twenty to forty minutes here.
