John and Judy are insightful and patient teachers who know and are passionate about their craft. I always feel welcome to explore new projects while being supported in the process. I feel that all students are given the opportunity to both relax and learn.

I discovered this family run studio conveniently located in Montrose last July and I'm so pleased…read morethat I did. I started out in the beginner class with no previous experience and quickly learned the basics. The beginner class is a reasonable $170 for a 5 week session and you can count on coming home with 6+ pieces. Your final class will be a potluck, work reveal and Raku firing. John and Judy allowed me to take the beginner class for a few sessions until I was confident enough to move forward to the intermediate. I'm currently taking 3 month intermediate sessions with the option of extra studio time on Saturdays for $5. I love to come to class and unwind on Monday nights after a long day; playing with clay is really a form of therapy. The owners are there to assist you hands-on and help you achieve the best result (as are some of your classmates that have been students here for many years). John and Judy often have a different approach to their craft, which is beneficial in that you're exposed to more than one perspective and technique. The best advice that I can give is to eliminate your expectations. Almost every piece you make will look different than you envisioned, but you'll learn to love the unpredictability.

Went here yesterday because I finally wanted to get some good quality yarn from a small business…read more The interior was absolutely charming and cute, had that cute country charm.

Out of sheer frustration, disappointment and disgust, I am updating my review due to recent events…read morethat have transpired. Approximately one month ago, I came to It's a Stitch to purchase a new Bernina sewing machine. I had done extensive research regarding which machines would suit my needs; I had narrowed my choices down to two models. I currently own a Bernina, although it is a basic mechanical machine that I had purchased new about 30 years ago. Even though it continues to run like a charm, I wanted a more extensive and diverse machine available to me; since I have very specific sewing habits, however, their top-of-the-line models were not even being considered. Make no mistakes: Berninas are not cheap and they are (in my eyes) a lifetime investment. I did not take my choices or my purchase lightly and without great thought. When I came, I looked at the two models I considered and practiced a few stitches on the higher-priced one. Decision made! I placed my order, charged it to my credit card (and subsequently paid for it) and was told that my brand new machine would be in the store from the warehouse in about a month. A call this week from Sarah informed me that the model I ordered is no longer available. As my heart sank, I was offered the following to "make things right": 1. Purchase the floor model, which according to Sarah had only been used "slightly" and was in great condition; price would be what I had already paid for the new machine, but I would receive a $50 store credit. I declined that offer. She suggested I call back the following day to see if something better could be worked out. 2. Or, I could purchase a much more expensive machine (double what I had already paid) with features I did not want nor did I need. Also declined. 3. A call back the following day got me an offer for the same floor model at $100 off, but it was revealed that "we can't locate the box for it" and then I recalled that when I had tested this machine, the manual could not be located either (because I had specifically asked to see it and they couldn't find it). This offer was also declined. I opted to return to the store for a full refund. No apologies were given and no farewells offered when I left. I will purchase a different model at an entirely different Bernina dealer. To suggest that a customer spend nearly $2K on a demo machine with no box and most likely no manual and have that be the best offer available when they have already PAID FOR a new machine is downright offensive. This is my final encounter with It's a Stitch. We're done.

I would give this place five stars because the sewing machine service is outstanding absolutely…read moreoutstanding. I gave it 3 stars for the fabric selection. I remember this place when it was an actually sewing machine shop and a fabric store. now there's just a bunch of pre-cuts on the wall and it's not a fabric stor. Buy your machine there because the service phenomenal the repair services phenomenal. just go somewhere else for classes and go somewhere else for your fabric it's just not a fabric store anymore. Things change in business , so i am sure there must have been a good reason for the change, it just wasnt a good change for quilters. You will not find a better shop in Houston to buy a Bernina sewing machine, they know their machines and their service department also knows their machines.

I love coming here to take their handbuilding workshops. There are very few ceramic studios that…read moreoffer this option, so whenever I'm available and see a design I'm a fan of, I come in. The instructors are very nice and helpful. You get an intro and two hours to complete & glaze your piece. They fire your pieces for you, and I've never been disappointed with the outcome. They've recently started doing handbuilding 6-week series that I wish I could be apart of, but unfortunately as of now it's on Sundays in the middle of the day, and I frequently work weekends during that time. If they offered a weekday handbuilding series, I would be all over that like white on rice.

Absolutely LOVED this! I was gifted a private class for my birthday and truly had such a fun time…read more Angie was such a great instructor, very informative & so personable.
