3,000 Square Feet of Quilting
Since April 2004, we have been located on
the ground floor of a 122 year old building [below, on right] at 120 North Main Street in the heart of Bluffton’s
picturesque downtown.
We visited quilting
shops for over a decade gathering ideas and wishes to implement in our quilt store. We wanted it to be warm, spacious, well
lit, and friendly. A place where you could watch the long-arming and ask questions. A place where non-quilting companions
could sit and read magazines or newspapers while the quilter peruses and meanders. A place you
would want to Enter . . . and feel welcomed.
places to keep “loved ones preoccupied”…
and
two necessary places, too.
Quilting
Fabric
Our
showroom is stocked with 3,000 bolts of quilt shop quality fabric from manufacturers like Moda, RJR / Thimbleberries,
Red Rooster, Robert Kaufman, Hoffman Fabrics, Blank, etc.
We designed
and built our own oak display cabinets. The design keeps the fat quarters with their bolts. This simplifies coordination,
as you can carry the fat quarters around instead of the bolts. It also means that we have over 5,000 fat quarters precut
and available just for you.
The fabric
selection is divided into several areas: Color coordinated basics [we refer to as our “Color Wall”], collections,
and the “Clearance Cove” [where you get quilt shop quality fabric at chain prices]. We also stock quilt backings
up to 120” wide.
Batting
We
carry high quality batting from Quilter’s Dream Company. Their batting is available in numerous thicknesses of polyester
& cotton (wool can be special ordered). Pre-packaged in bed sizes from throw to king makes selection easier.
Books, Magazines & Patterns
Books,
magazines and patterns are “Idea Central” in a quilt shop. Come, browse this constantly - updated area and take
advantage of our padded seating.
Notions
If it is for quilting, we try our best to stock it: pins, needles, cutting mats, bias
tape, hoops, stencils, labels, marking tools, pressing pads, foundation paper, measuring tools, rippers, stabilizers,
thimbles, tiger tape, and so much more!
Gifts
Have a special friend that would appreciate a quilt themed
gift? We have cards, tea towels, calendars, candles … to name a few. We even have a selection of stained glass quilts
as well as finished quilts!
Classes
We are constantly
expanding our choices of classes. Our training area is completely equipped with Pfaff sewing
machines, irons, cutting boards, rotary cutters, rulers … everything you need.
Quilt With A Friend
When classes are not
scheduled, you are free to reserve the area for use by yourself or up to seven friends. We call this “Quilt With A Friend”.
And, there is no charge for this service.
Our site is updated
several times per week. Check here for the newsletter, BOMs, PMSs, shop hops, specials, classes, on-line store - you
name it.
Long Arm Quilting Services
We have two long-arm Statler Stitcher™ / Gammill™ Optimum
machines. We can handle quilts up to 147” wide and up to 15 yards long. We can satisfy your quilting needs from a small
table runner to a king bedspread or home decorator items
Our equipment gives
us the ability to produce the maximum flexibility for your quilting needs with automated stitching.
“Automated” stitching is so exact that it
excels at intricate designs, and allows you to choose the designs and the layout of your quilt to accent your quilt top, without
relying on the artistic talent, or lack thereof, of the particular quilter(s) that work on your quilt.
We have well over 1000 different patterns
ready for your quilt. We use our computer automated design tools to make special patterns that are requested. We have developed
over 500 patterns, which we sell to other shops. Also, there are hundreds of additional patterns available from other designers
that we can get for you.
When combined with our large choice of thread,
from invisible, solid, or variegated we can achieve many different effects, including incredible stitching that does not detract
from your quilt, while adding another dimension to it.
Schedule an appointment
with our qualified personnel to review and check-in your project. A Long-Arm Brochure is available to explain the pricing
of this service in detail. The brochure & scheduling information are maintained on our web-site. We do offer a last minute
“Expedite Service” to schedule your quilt “next in line” if a faster turn-around time is required
for emergencies.
