Purchased a husqvarna Viking sapphire from this store . All the staff was super friendly and I appreciate them being so kind and helpful buying a machine from five states over 🥰

Wonderfully helpful staff. I needed an uncommon replacement part for a quilting tool, so I emailed several vendors who may have had the tool, and although they didn't have one, Jill reached out several times with responses, ideas, and suggestions; and I'm not even located in beautiful Iowa! Thank you so much, Jill! Your ideas were extremely helpful!

I purchased a machine online that I had been searching for and had them ship it to me in a different state. The entire process was quick and smooth. Amy was great helping me over the phone and Tripp and Holly were quick to answer some additional questions over email. So happy to have found this shop. I will definitely be stepping in if I ever drive through Cedar Rapids.

I inherited a sewing machine after my mother passed away this year. She had a Husqvarna Viking model 5530 from the '70s that she inherited from another family member. I had sewed with her minimally and it had been at least 15 years since I had. My pants had ripped and I needed to get them mended. I looked at a lot of options and I found a class that was offered at inspired to sew and I thought it was interesting so I signed up for it. I took a whole day off work to go to this class. It was interesting. I was able to learn a lot from it Mandy, who led the class did a great job. I was able to get my pants fixed as well so that was good. It's a really cool building with a lot of helpful people and resources. If you really want to get into sewing, my main goal is just to maintain the clothes that I have at this time and I was able to learn the skills and have the resources here to do that.
