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.

What a wonderful place! When visiting family in town for the holidays, we decided to have a family…read morepainting night together. We were all a bit overly ambitious in picking out ceramics to paint (we were first-timers and didn't know what we were doing). As such, we ended up needing to come in for a total of over 7 hours over the course of a few days to finish our projects. Karen, the owner, was so very patient with us and incredibly kind. She made sure that we had all the tools and paints we needed to make our projects. She had exactly the right balance of being available to answer questions and give us additional information without seeming in the way or overbearing. She even offered to let us borrow some paints to take home to work on our pieces outside of the studio's open hours. That kind of generosity and customer service is a true gift. Beyond that, the ambiance of the place is perfect for unleashing an inner artist. As a very old building, the original features of the home have been marked and dated, making it fun to wonder about what the 1860's original wall-paper must have seen in its time! The prices for the pieces are incredibly reasonable, and without additional sitting fees or firing fees, the fun-per-dollar ratio is a fantastic one. We also found a fantastic deal on Living Social, making the experience even more of bargain. In sum, I would highly recommend Create-A-Palooza to individuals, couples, families, and anyone else who has an interest in being creative!

I had been wanting to go to this establishment for a long time now and finally made it in last…read moreweekend. There is so much to pick from it. It was hard to decide prices ranging from $60+ to $7. However, after browsing the selection, my mom and I picked two items each! It took me and her about 2 hours and cost $50, which wasn't bad at all. The only reason I give four stars and not 5 the workers when we walked in were just sitting talking didn't really engage with us or show us around ask if it was our 1st time I had to tell them. Also, when painting, I thought they would come around to see if we needed anything or look at our work and tell us we need more layers I had to ask. However, personally, they were still nice, just not as engaged as i would like. All in all a great experience and super fun I will be back.
