Small classes allow for individual guidance--perfect for beginners. I brought my own machine, and she helped me learn how to use it. * Value: Pricier than other sewing classes, but the detailed instruction and personal attention make it worthwhile. I've already booked more! * Booking: Reserve about a month ahead, as classes sell out. * Parking: Street parking and a lot behind the store, with a three-hour limit. * Overall: Highly recommend Needles Studio for supplies and classes. I'll continue supporting this business!

Group discounts are available for groups larger than 12. Before the workshop everybody got to pick the design they wanted to do as well as the type of backing/framing (coaster, wall hanging, or mirror) they wanted. The person leading the workshop was amazing, very patient and friendly. The workshop was roughly 20 minutes of tutorial, 1 hour of tufting with the gun (varied widely person to person), and then 1 hour for everyone to glue and trim and clean their rugs. I was surprised at how well our final pieces turned out considering none of us had ever rug tufted before. At the end we also each got a cute free tote bag to hold our creations. This was a really fun unique activity, I would highly recommend!

I visited this shop yesterday after seeing a canvas listed as "in stock" on their website. I'm…read morenewer to needlepoint and was excited to browse in person, especially since there are only a couple stores in the South Bay/Peninsula. When I asked about a specific canvas, I was told it was not available. I mentioned that the website showed it in stock and had an active add-to-cart option. The response I received was unexpectedly dismissive and in a condescending tone. The woman behind the counter said: "Amazon has trained you to expect things you see online to be in stock," followed by an explanation that their website does not really support online orders, at least not yet. I completely understand that inventory systems and websites don't always match. Had this simply been explained in a straightforward way, I would likely have purchased a different design/kit while I was there. Instead, the interaction felt condescending and uncomfortable enough that I chose not to continue shopping. For a hobby that relies on welcoming and guiding newcomers, tone matters. This was not my first experience with needlepoint, but I can easily see how it could discourage someone just getting started. Because of this experience, I won't be returning. I'd recommend new stitchers seek out another local store where questions are encouraged and customers feel comfortable spending time (and money).

I asked the employee at the counter, who was blowing up balloons, if there was anyone else working who could help me. He replied, "lots." Yet he was unwilling to actually help and instead just pointed me toward random aisles, none of which had anything to do with what I was looking for. When I asked if one of the "lots" of other employees could assist me, he responded that "they're all on break." I've shopped at this location before and have never had such a disappointing customer-service experience. I came in specifically hoping to get some guidance on a craft project and left without any help at all. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
