Should I Buy a Sewing Cabinet or a Sewing Table?

August 21, 2023/in Sewing/by Grace Hartman

So, you’ve decided to make the jump and clear off that space on your dining table or countertop that’s constantly filled up with sewing notions, your machine, and various bits and bobbins.

Bernina Projects for a Springtime Refresh

April 25, 2023/in Bernina, Embroidery, Projects, Quilting, Sewing/by Grace Hartman

As an authorized Bernina dealer, we’d be doing our loyal Bernina fans a disservice by forgetting to remind of a big perk that Bernina provides: Did you know that Bernina has a WHOLE PAGE dedicated to free craft ideas and downloadable patterns? Generous and fun – what other way can you describe it? From beginners and kids […]

QUILT QUARTERS

“If you are looking for a good quilting machine, go talk to Tiffany at Quilt Quarters. I purchased a Bernina Q16 machine last March from her. In 5 months I learned so much about free motion quilting. Today I shared with her and the staff my first king sized quilt. They were so kind and encouraging. What fun! It is nice to have the people who work at the store point at the fabric and say, ‘Oh, I remember that fabric.’ Every time I go into the store there is a warm welcome and people are always willing to help me find fabric. I have never felt pressured to purchase or to hurry my decision. And the selection of beautiful fabric is lovely. So thank you to the owner and the people working so hard to serve us all well!”
– Donna Matlik

SEWING & VACUUM AUTHORITY

“Great selection of good, affordable machines. Love the personal service and that I can go in and try a machine before buying it. This helps me know if this machine feels right or wrong for me and my skill level. After you buy a machine, they also allow you to set up a one on one class to learn, master your machine and it’s settings. You may pay more than a big box sewing machine but you can’t try them before buying and sales are usually final and there’s a difference. I have both which is what led me into sewing authority. Highly recommend them.”

QUILT QUARTERS

“Excellent staff. My wife purchased a new Bernina (Horn) quilt sewing cabinet from them in December. When it came in they promptly notified us and scheduled a delivery. The people that delivered the huge and heavy cabinet was Erich Sunde and his partner. They came a few minutes early, carried it to the basement and had it set up and running within minutes. Very pleasant and respectful folks. Overall, the whole experience was very satisfying and this should be the model for other businesses to follow.”

“The ladies working at the Clarksville store are tremendous! Bev, Julie, Rosemary, Sarah and Samantha are always smiling and friendly, ready and willing to help with any question or problem I may have, and gladly share quilting tips and techniques. As a fairly novice quilter, I so appreciate each of them. Clarksville is where I bought my sewing machine and almost all the fabrics I’ve used so far.”
– Rebecca Halsall

QUILT QUARTERS

“I was looking for a Bernina, Quilt Quarters is the closest Bernina dealer to my house, and the place is wonderful. I went in looking for a B535, I took a B570 QE Kaffe home with me with the embroidery module and the luggage for both! They had both machines and the luggage in stock! I couldn’t pass up the black friday deal, lol. It was very quick and painless, I used my Bernina credit card for a nice long 60-month interest free financing (also a black friday only deal direct from Bernina.) The 570 is such a joy to use. I have no complaints about the machine or the customer service. It was a very pleasant experience. Tiffany is awesome and very helpful, very happy.”

“My local dealer wanted $750-800. and were going to ship it to Chicago for repair. It would take 6-8 weeks.I took my Bernina 880 here because it would no longer self thread. They fixed it in less than 2 weeks for only $125.00. Also found out that they are MUCH cheaper for supplies, material, thread, etc. than my local dealer. This is the place for all sewing machine repair as well as a great place to shop. While talking to them we inquired about some local restaurants. They steered us right. Food was great. It was well worth the 2 hour drive. They also have a GREAT assortment of new and used vacuums for sale.”
