Service person plugged it in, it turned on, but she did not look further. I was rudely told the main computer board was gone, "What do you expect after 25 years?", the part was not available, only option was to buy a new machine and I should take my old one to recycling. Reluctantly bought a new machine. Friend recommended her Bernina repair guy. Nothing wrong with the electronics. It needs a thorough cleaning and I could upgrade two parts that Bernina had improved since it was made. I was lied to and I consider this to be fraudulent misrepresentation. Took the new machine back and got a full refund. Don't believe what their "certified" repair person says. Get a second opinion from a competent person.

It pains me to write this review of what used to be one of my favorite stores. And I was a sad as…read moreanyone when I saw they had to close over a year ago due to a fire. And just as happy when they announced they'd found a new space and were planning to reopen. I have to say, having visited there a few times now, I'm pretty disappointed. The new space is still downtown, but a few blocks west of their previous location. Where parking was free at that spot, it's metered at this one. When I think of all the vacant retail spaces in town, many with parking lots or at least free street parking, it leaves me perplexed. And the new space itself is so incredibly small and disjointed. It's separated into multiple, small rooms. Their inventory is but a shadow of its former self. And the prices have gone up. Wayyyy up. Perhaps most perplexing is the complete lack of classroom space, which they'd gone to so much trouble to add in their own space. Combined all of this with semi-surly, N95'd employees and well... to put it simply...I don't see the appeal in returning here anytime soon. For now, I miss the old Ragfinery and hope they turn things around.

We dropped off clothes to be sold by this business - Waste of time !…read more They don't give you any receipt that you have even dropped anything When we stopped in a couple of months later to see what had sold they couldn't find any record of us Dropping off our items - They are So disorganized & very arrogant When you ask them about it . We didn't want to make a fuss about the whole experience & how Poorly this business is operated ! We have spoken to other people who have shared their experience And we have yet to receive a Positive response . So - clearly will not be going back And certainly would not recommend this business to Friends or relatives ! R L

Here is where I have issues ... how they cut the fabric. They have a system where they cut exactly the amount you ask for. It an millimetre more. Some staff cut crooked which is what happened to me. I pointed out that her cut was crooked. She apologized and re-measured. Sure enough she was off by a few inches on one side because she cut crooked. So I said that I'll still take the piece but can I have a discount? She asked her manager and basically the answer was no. I still took the fabric, I suppose I could have asked for another piece to be cut (unfortunately I'm a people pleaser) but I bought the fabric piece as is. I felt bad to ask for another piece to be cut. There were people in line etc. On my drive home I became distraught about it thinking they could have given me a small discount and I regretted not asking for a new piece to be cut.

They said they would hold our items for three months and if not collected, they would throw them out. After not recieving any type of email for two months, my boyfriend drove all the way from abbotsford to this shop to pick up the art that we had created as he wanted to surpise me with it. Once he went into the shop, he dicovered that our art was not there anymore, they had lost it or thrown it out. This is so sad as they were a pretty expensive price as well i would say so. I am so dissapointed as this was something very special for us and it has been completely ruined. So i would reccomend you go to a more professional place where they dont throw away your things and actually email you when your art is ready. I would give this a 0 star review if i could.
