What a happy and charming shop! Modern and bright fabrics, exemplary customer service, and competitive prices make this my favorite independently owned fabric and quilt shop. It is located in downtown Maysville, convenient to dining and other shopping.
I've shopped here repeatedly online and was fortunate enough to visit the brick and mortar store in 2016. I am fairly new to sewing and completely new to quilting and the shop has everything you need to get started. They have also curated some outstanding gifts at my request for my mother who is an avid and long time quilter/sewist. Their website is easy to navigate. They respond quickly to online orders and shipping is fast. There are frequent online specials announced via social media and the site. The shop is a Janome dealer and provides excellent advice and training on machines that are purchased there.
When I visited, I felt very welcomed and not at all overwhelmed or intimidated due to my lack of experience. The team has always patiently answered any question I have as well as helped steer me in the right direction on products without pressure. I've not been as well received at other shops being new to sewing and the added bonus of being heavily tattooed. No such worries at Apron Strings! They are genuinely interested in helping you.
The shop itself is absolute eye candy with fabrics from lines such as Basic Grey, Moda,Kate Spain, and Amy Butler. Everything is artfully arranged and projects made by local artists are featured throughout the shop. I like that there is a good balance between traditional and modern here.
Definitely recommend you check Apron Strings out online or in person for your fabric/sewing/quilting needs. read more
