I bought my new Bernina 570QE here, and although I think it is more machine than I needed, I do like it. The staff here is always great and the classes teach me a lot.

Wish I had a quilt shop like this in my hometown! I always try to stop in when I'm in Des Moines. Awesome selection of panels for quilts or soft books

I love that the store challenges you to complete one unfinished project a month with an incentive. If you like bold colors then this is the place to shop.
