I came here to get a nice Gettysburg cap. Emma helped me with all my purchases. I bought a few big…read morecandles too. I also got a handmade wooden cat to put on Annie's fur (my cat). I will keep her memory in the little wooden cat. The store carries a lot of exciting handcrafts and candles. I recommend those big candles because they have the nicest scents and are perfectly made to last a long time. Also, the caps are made with great fabric, not cheaply made. I'm a cap collector, so the fabric and how caps stay on me make a difference. There are other items that I was thinking of getting, but that's next time. I'll ask Hubby to take me back here when we return to Gettysburg. The store was also very clean. I loved the store! Recommended.

Then they wanted to close before we were finished and rushed us and made us skip the step to add the adhesive for crisp lines. Mine had layered stencils and the paint was not dry enough for the second layer. Then a staff person took over my project to get us out the door. It's smeared and she got some stain that was also not dry, on the painted portion. This was a gift from my daughter, and our projects were both on the higher price end. She said she wanted to cry because it was supposed to be a special time and both of our projects were smeared and we were rushed out of there.

Wow! This place is extraordinary! In addition to the array of supplies and machines available, the…read morestaff are personable, friendly, highly knowledgeable, and professional. After visiting several stores across several counties, I went to Sew'N Place to continue my exploration of the various options for embroidery machines. Sew'N Place had been highly recommended by a competitor I visited earlier that day, "He [Michael] is honest as the day is long - you couldn't do better." Couldn't agree more. Michael went over the wide array of machines and listened (yes, actually listened) to what I wanted out of the machine. Again, Wow! Too many places want the most money they can get out of you. I believe and feel that Michael wanted to present me the best option available for the best price as well as a ton of offered help and service as part of who they are and provide to their customers. I ended up with the Husqvarna Sapphire and am extremely satisfied! Also, enjoyed all the antique machines on display. They gave me the feeling that I was a part of many, many years and generations of creating with fabric and thread. The stories those machines could tell! Oh, and ice cream / beverage shop connected was the icing on an already decadent cake of the day. Thank you, Sew'N Place!

I am not able to recommend this store. I have an older Singer machine that my dad purchased for me…read moreand is a treasured item. I messed it up (unknowingly) by spraying the canned air to clean it up and it fried the electronics, so I purchased another identical machine that was working and took both to the store to be repaired. I specifically told the clerk that one machine was the donor for the other one. She did make note of it, but it was either missed, ignored or purposely not done. When I went back to pick it up, I knew immediately that the wrong machine was fixed based on the condition of each. Of course, the owner was out of town so I was not able to voice my concerns to someone on charge. So I paid the over $200 bill and left. I did leave both machines there hoping for a good solution. I then emailed the owner and explained what happened and he told me it is not their policy to use donor machines to do fixes, (i was not informed of this at the time of drop off) but that he would fix my heirloom and honor the original repair price. I went back when it was completed and picked both of them up. The heirloom machine powered up, so I assumed it was repaired correctly. Fast forward to today, when I felt good enough to do some long overdue projects and the needle mechanism will not work with the machine powered on, only when it is off. Granted, I should have checked, but so should them, no? It would have been pretty apparent that it still wasnt working correctly if the repair person had gone through some basic steps like winding a bobbin and sewing a few stitches. So now, I'm out over $200 with a useless machine. Watch these people if you go for service, they aren't very effective based on my experience there and I would hate for someone else to get taken like I did. 0 stars.

I did a glass fusion class here with my wife, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it…read more We got a groupon for it, and went not being sure of what to expect. We've never worked with glass before, but the staff explained the decorative options well and had plenty of materials and tools available. The staff was always helpful and very friendly, and did a great job supervising the class and helping out when needed. We paid the extra $10 each to 'slump' our flat glass discs into bowl shape after they are melted. I would have liked a slightly curved plate option but that wasn't available. This requires a second run through the kiln, so the price is understandable. Sadly, it may take up to 4 weeks for the plates to finish the fusing process, although we saw some finished examples that looked gorgeous. I had one minor complaint, and that's only because I'm being nit-picky: the staff was hard to find sometimes during the class. There were plenty of staff members there, I just kept forgetting who they were since they didn't have nametags or aprons or anything to identify them.

I enjoyed the small class as it felt more personable and by the end all of us were chit chatting and having a great time. Our instructor Kim was very helpful and fun. The event was 3 hours which I think was perfect. I liked that we painted and then took small breaks to let the paint dry. It wasn't just paint, paint, paint. The shop is super cute and very clean. I can't wait to go back for another Sip n' Paint event or a glass fusion class! Kim said she wanted to try doing a jewelry making class which I would definitely attend! If your looking for a relaxing and fun night out with your girlfriends, significant other or anyone I highly recommend checking one of these events out!

I still cannot believe I learned how to take raw fiber, prepare it to be spun, learn how to spin it (lots of practice from both student and teacher), and ply 2 single yarns I spun myself!!! In just 3 sessions. Plus many other things needed to take fiber from the raw into yarn to be knitted, crocheted or woven. (Like how to measure the just spun yarn and how to wash both the raw fiber and the your spun yarn) I learned so much! Julie made it fun while being extremely encouraging. Julie also sells beautiful and soft alpaca fiber you can use to spin I cannot recommend highly enough! What a great resource for spinning and weaving equipment and education. She also gives other types of classes with info on the website.
