I was appreciative of the willingness to get me connected with a quilter and also their promptness in doing so. Although it appears to be a dusty old store front when looking at the entrance from Main Street, the Quilter's Garden has a large showroom of fabrics and quilting necessities. Come to find out, they do not items in the front window because of the sun and fading of fabrics. There is also a large upstairs area where quilter groups can gather and quilt. The staff was super friendly and eager to help when I was there in person in the store as well. On-line and face-to-face, a friendly welcoming operation.

AVOID THIS SERVICE! Took my machine in to be cleaned and 4…read moreissues. Took a week. When I went to get it the case was NOT closed and had a gap about 1/8-1/4 inch. Luckily they fixed it. There would be no 90 day warranty due to the "condition of machine." Apparently some work had been done previously so their work didn't matter. I should have looked at it more but I was in a hurry and left assuming it was all good as when they called they told me it was working great. Upon getting home I noticed how dirty it was! (see lint in pictures.) I can do some cleaning and that's how I took it in as I don't go beyond that in fear of doing damage. The case can be easily wiped down but so dirty! I am only posting it to show now they clearly did not clean it. If the case is this way and where I can see imagine what they left inside! Used it. Tension was off and hand wheel not fixed. Called complaining it wasn't right and not clean and they said they would fix right away. Went in, the repair did something to tension so that's fine. The lady would not answer me when I asked about how DIRTY it is! The hand wheel apparently is "fine" even though it doesn't work like I have used it for the past 15 years. Not happy at all! I've taken this machine in before and once cleaned deeply it works like new. It shakes so bad, unlike before.

The same size, but a Wooble kit, was in the $30s at JoAnn and Michael's. I'm interested to try this and see how it works out. I guess, I'll happily and begrudgingly be back. Oh the mixed emotions.
