What’s New?
Giving a Bernina sewing machine for a gift is a wonderful idea. We have all price ranges and features to meet your needs. They all come with free mastery classes. The new 3 series are worth checking out, especially the 380!
Have you noticed we are now selling more kits? Christmas kits, apron kits, beginner kits, Quilt School I kits, Jinny Beyer kit and much, much more. Karen made a beautiful quilt from the Wildflower pattern. There is a fabric/pattern kit and a thread kit available. Karen will be teaching a class on it! Also, Gail made two quilts from the Trip for Two pattern (and we have kits in two colorways). Just reverse the fabric and you have two different quilts.
We are now carrying a few other types of fabric: knits, flurr, voile, laminated cotton cotton/silk blend. And, of course, we have lots of new cotton collections. Coming soon: Koka fabric.

Tutto Sewing Machine totes: If you are still carrying your machine here and there, you shouldn't be! We carry the most wonderful carriers that are pulled effortlessly behind you. They come in two sizes to accomodate all the machines, and in delicious colors like lime, purple, red, blue, turquoise, brown, and black. If we don't have your favorite color in stock we will be happy to order it for you!
We are now selling Horn and Roberts sewing tables. They are very sturdy, and beautifully made, well-designed for quilters and all the storage and sewing space we need. And best of all they are lower priced than our previous brand. We have one set up in the Bernina room, so be sure to see it when you are next in the store.
Quilts for Kids is always looking for volunteers to donate fabric, thread, batting, pennies, or time to make quilts and machine quilt them for children at UNC Children's Hospital who are receiving chemotherapy for life-threatening illnesses. Quilts should be 40 x 45" or smaller. Our contact person is Donna Van Dalen. triangleqfk@gmail.com.
We are sending our newsletters electronically now, so if you are not on our email list, please contact us to sign up. We will continue to create a printed copy of our class schedule for those of you who like to relax and peruse our newsletter. Just ask for one when you are in the store.
Re-usable bags: We are trying to do our part to cut down on paper and plastic waste by encouraging you to bring a bag from home or just carry your purchases out bag-free. Thank you for all your support on this-it has made a huge difference. We have an Earth Day class this year if you would like to learn to make quickie shopping bags.
