The Sewing Store — Local services in Lower Burrell

This is my first Google review ever, and I want readers to know that I'm not related to the store owner and don't know her outside of being her customer. That said, this store is one of the few of its kind left in the extended Pittsburgh area, providing a well-organized, lovely selection of superb quilting fabrics and most anything you could want for quilting at fair prices. Sandy (the owner) is generous; she and her assistant Jan are very knowledgeable--real experts! She provides great customer service; if she doesn't have what you need, she'll get it. She offers regular classes on quilting, machine embroidery, and applique (plus others!), and I've learned a great deal from her.

I started looking into switching to Bernina machines and went to another dealer first. There were no machines available to test drive there. It turns out the dealer had decided to go out of business but did not share that with me. Good thing I did not purchase from her. I went to Sandy's store shortly after and was happy to find many machines to choose from. Being an experienced sewer/embroiderer I knew what I was looking for. Sandy spent time with me showing me the two models I wanted to consider. I sewed on both and then decided. Sandy is very knowledgeable and helpful. She worked with me to get the best deal. She is a great instructor and the store has all the supplies one would need. I enjoy the classes and demonstrations she offers. I am now a...
