The staff are super nice, helpful and they get my sense of humor! The other day I made a booboo while checking out and they were calm and pleasant when they had to re-ring up my whole stack of quarter yards - no eye rolling, just a deep breath and a wide smile. I was "having a day" and they couldn't have been more helpful. My latest find is their skeins of Queensland cotton worsted - the colors make my potholders sing and it has a great hand feel. I sing FPB's praises.

For example, there may be a really cute pattern in blue and green but you won't find the same pattern in any other colors. I find I can't source the majority of a quilt here. I do like that I can see solid colors in person, this is really helpful. Price per yard on all quilting fabrics is excellent. Ability to find novelty fabrics is good. Overall I find I don't do as well here as I used to do when they were in Framingham. Quilting tool selection is also limited.

Super cute "accessories" (stitch markers, bags, etc). I also found everything reasonably priced for how high quality they are. I'm comfortable here as a queer person who is self taught in knitting and occasionally asks beginner questions. Lucy in particular helped me once with an after thought heel and turned me on to German short row heels. Game changer guys. They also have social events that I'd like to attend when I'm not working, which all look so fun. I love their community and you can book help time, which makes a huge difference in my confidence trying new things. I cannot recommend them enough. I haven't met Ana but we've chatted and she cares so much. I love the energy poured into this shop and community. Thanks guys!

Beautiful yarn selection with lovely local choices- something I always look for when traveling…read more Owner was very friendly and pointed out an item I may have missed otherwise. Also plenty of smaller items that were perfect for gifts like cards, stickers and stitch markers. Prices were what I expect from an independent yarn store selling premium yarns. I also picked up a sweatshirt with last year's Fiber Witch Festival art. Hope to attend next year in person!

True to its name, the store fosters a warm, inclusive environment where people can gather to create. They stock an impressive range of high-quality fabrics and supplies from famous brands for sewing, knitting, embroidery, and other fiber arts. Beyond just selling materials, their real standout feature is the fully-equipped studio space available for rent in the back. This area contains professional-grade machinery, like industrial sewing and embroidery machines, that most people don't have at home, allowing makers to tackle ambitious projects at very reasonable hourly rates. The staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive, always willing to help beginners or offer advice to seasoned crafters. This community focus extends to their extensive schedule of workshops and classes for all skill levels, which aligns with their mission to be a welcoming space for everyone. Whether you need specific supplies, access to specialized equipment, or friendly guidance to start a new hobby, Gather Here is an invaluable and inspiring resource for the local creative community.

The mill is not wheelchair accessible: the entrance is up a set of stairs.
