I 'm from California and stumbled on this treasure during a visit to Portland. In all of the…read morequilt stores that I've visited over the last 10 years, this is by far my favorite. The fabric selection was amazing. They had such a great selection of pre-assembled kits. The customer service was outstanding! Mary was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Her husband who does the long arm quilting was also great! I had planned to visit several shops during my trip but didn't. I got everything I wanted (and more.). I am looking forward to visiting again!

The lady behind the counter was on the phone. After she hung up I was still browsing through the sale fabric. She didn't acknowledge me at all even though we were about 3 feet apart. They have a wonderful selection of quilting fabric. I was impressed by how much fabric there was at a sewing & vacuum store. There's also notions and some quilting books. The other woman working there wasn't friendly either. Even when I brought up my fabric to be cut, I got a chilly reception from the first lady by the front door.

Amazing fabric selection, tons of high quality quilting fabrics and batiks! 5 stars on that!…read moreSuper helpful young man who wore mask as usual but many other people in long arm section not only NOT in masks but one employee actually putting customers on the spot by asking them if they minded if he didn't wear a mask! He didn't ask me, and if I hadn't needed the things I purchased so badly I would have walked out. Clearly only part of the staff takes Covid-19 seriously and doesn't care about us quilters and many of us are in a very high risk group!

What brings me back to a shop, more often than not, is the customer service. I received as good of customer service as I could all for. Sadly, I live in the Portland Metro area, but to my pleasure, I get my car serviced in Salem. I'm eager to see what new fabrics they have the next time I'm in!

This store has been a sewing savior for me. I purchased a Bernina 830 from a competitor…read moresewing/vacuum center and regretted it. My $11,000.00 machine never worked right and I could not get good service until Judy at Keizer Bernina Stretch and Sew adopted me. She finally got my 830 running perfectly after many months and all new parts and computer boards. I have since upgraded my 830 to an 880 and purchased a 560 for my grandson to sew on. I would NEVER take a Bernina sewing machine anywhere else. Classes and training on both the machine and learning the software are fantastic. As they say "your not just purchasing a machine, you are purchasing the service as well". So be careful where you buy your machines from. I highly recommend Keizer Bernina Stretch and Sew in Keizer, Oregon.

Husband and I were in Jefferson for business and as we were going down the highway I screeched,…read more"quilt store!" Now I was driving, so really, Husband had noacquaint me with the store and w choice in the matter, but even if I hadn't been, I've trained my car to automatically stop at quilt stores. And bookstores. And yarn stores. So it's win-win all around, yeah? Purple Frog. First of all, I love the name. It's so whimsical. And there are purple frog decorations inside, too. I was greeted (Husband decided to stay in the car and nap or something) by two extremely friendly ladies, who took time from what they were doing to show me where things were located. Including the restroom. Which, by the way, was extremely clean. Unfortunately I didn't have as much time to browse as I'd wanted, because who should come through the door but Husband! Dang. I'm sure he came in to prevent too much financial damage. I doubt he was interested in the fabric, though he did pretend to kind of look around. Hah. He thought he looked so innocent, but I know better. The classroom is huge, and there's a long-arm quilting machine in there too. There's lots of room to spread out, and taking a class here would be a real pleasure. I really wish I'd had more time to look around. I wanted to see all of the batiks and just see all the wonderful other fabrics. But yeah, okay, it was a business trip and I did need to be considerate. I did end up buying some wonderful fabric for a Christmas project, though. The ladies were really wonderful helping me figure out how much fabric I needed for that, and I left feeling extremely glad that we'd stopped by. Final score: Lighting and appeal in general: 5 stars Customer service: Ditto Cleanliness of the shop and the bathroom: Ditto again. Fabric choices: Ditto yet again. Attractiveness and layout: Another 5 stars. I've been in a number of quilt stores, and The Purple Frog is at the top of my list. It's easy to find and is a great pleasure to shop in. Thank you ladies (I'm sorry I didn't get your names) for a truly enjoyable shopping experience. It's worth the drive down!
