I took a 6‑week sewing class here as a complete beginner, and I loved it! After the first class, I was already feeling confident and starting projects at home. Dave taught my class and he was phenomenal - incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely enthusiastic about sewing. He made the whole experience fun and approachable. If you’re new to sewing, I highly recommend Smith Owen classes and Dave as an instructor!

They did a sewing machine tune up for me in December that I was very satisfied with, and I came back in to have them check on a weird sound my sewing machine started making, which they did free of charge (took about two minutes). The customer service in the store was friendly, professional, and helpful. As others have noted, the fabric selection is top notch- it leans away from the kitsch vibes I’ve gotten from other fabric/quilting stores, which I personally appreciate. They also went above and beyond to help me find a belt bag pattern that was on a display mannequin. 10/10 would recommend

High quality, beautiful fabrics, and well stocked supplies for sewing, quilting, and embroidering. The staff are friendly, super helpful, and knowledgeable. I have started a sewing class as a beginner and my confidence is increasing. Maureen, Rose, and Cathy are fabulous instructors and very patient. They really know their craft. If you want a locally owned personable experience, stop in, grab a yard or some fat quaters, and create something beautiful to enjoy and share with the ones you love.

This shop may be small, but she is MIGHTY! They really know how to pack everything in there without it feeling crowded. I love to wander the aisles - So many beautiful, high quality fabrics to choose from. I took the Beginner Sewing Class with Maureen a few years ago and each time I'm in there, she remembers who I am asks about current projects. Love this shop, just wish it were closer so I could go more frequently!

Always excellent service. It's good to see a local fabric store keeping a check on inflation. Prices were higher at other stores. Excellent selection of fabric. I have been a customer of theirs for over 20 years.
