This a great little store. They have sewing classes from novice to advance. The classes are once a week for 2 hours and they are about 3-4 weeks long. Class size can be small (my first class had only 3 people) to larger my class tonight is supposed to have 6. They have everything you need to start sewing. The prices are a little higher than you might find at other sewing stores but this is a local place so I don't mind spending a little more.
My teacher was great and didn't make me feel like an idiot when I jacked my pattern up. She joked with us and made us all feel comfortable in class.
The class is 45.00 plus supplies. I can't wait to go back for my second class.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Michelle W.Reno, NV053Feb 21, 2013
It's a small local quilt shop that is also a Baby Lock dealer. Not a great variety of fabrics, but what she does have is very nice and not too pricey for a small business.
The owner was not very helpful with buying a machine. I went in to look at one quilting machine...she took me over to it and after telling me the price, and me choking on said price, her attitude chilled and I was "beneath" her bother now. Ended with a go look at your other machines and then come back.
Yeah right. Sierra Sewing Center's machine lady was great. Test drove lots of machines, some in my range others not. But they came down in price. The same baby lock was $600 cheaper than Sew-N-Such. Windy Moon Quilts had the same BL, but as the Brother, for $1000 cheaper. These shops are bigger, better variety, great friendly people!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kairi K.Sparks, NV170356Sep 3, 2014
Rude, unhelpful people run this store. I will not be bringing my hard earned money here ever again. This is the second time coming to this store and I am still not impressed. I called ahead to make sure the store had a piece for my serger and they told me they could match it if I would bring it in. Little did I know she only want the broken piece to "match" it. I brought the entire machine and she scoffed and told me to take the piece out. I attempted but had a hard time removing the piece and she explained she couldn't help at all. She told me to go where I bought the machine, and I explained I got a deal online for it and she just scoffed. What a rude old lady. I asked for a few needles for the machine and she told me to just go somewhere else or have my husband fix it. Rude. I don't understand how she is in business. Don't waste your money. This place is even worse than Joann's. That place will at least attempt to help you.

This store has a nice selection of fabrics for around $10.00 a yard. They also sell sewing machines and do some alterations. If you buy a machine there, you get lessons showing you everything it does so you will be more comfortable using it.

I wouldn't recommend this place, esp when you have much better options in town such as Sierra Sewing Center to serve you with far FRIENDLIER people....I was so disappointed in the offish/rude demeanor of the person working.

Worst shop in Reno!! Treated like thieves...all items are spread out in different rooms, to hard to shop in. Grabbed items out of our hands to take to the register, and we hadn't even decided on purchasing!!

This is a great sewing store with high-quality fabric and fun classes. They also have a sewing machine service that's great. I have brought in all four of my machines and all have come back sewing like new (one even sewed better than new!). The amount of fabric is a little limited compared to other stores and the prices of notions are a little high, but the personal service and local (non-chain) feel to it makes it worth paying a little more.

I wish I would of read the other reviews on yelp before wasting my time going to the store. I have a Babylock Serger that something broke on, lucky me my machine is still under warranty for free repair for 1 more month. I also had a sewing machine that needed repair that was not under warranty. I took both machines in, the lady there refused to take my babylock because it was under warranty and therefor she said she would not get paid for the work. My husband explained it's under warranty Babylock will refund her the work done but instead they told me to drive it back to Sacramento where I bought it even though I now live in Nevada. They then quoted me how much it would cost to look at my sewing machine, but after they refused to work on my serger I refused to give them my business on my sewing machine. So instead of making money on 2 machines they lost money on 2 machines and I found another place locally that was happy to take both machines for me without an issue. Def won't be going there again.
