My partner took me on a date to bead world during my short trip to Victoria. The selection of beads…read moreis impressive, and they are all organized very well. We spent about an hour picking individual beads for our matching bracelets and putting them together. The workers helped us create a more complicated closure on our bracelets for about $4 each (it is worth it to be able to slide the strings to tighten and un-tighten the bracelets!). Each bracelet costed us almost $12 which is a small price to pay for one of my favourite souvenirs and a fantastic date!

So very little time was actually spent teaching us fiddle! The young lady spent most of the 1 hour lessons tuning our fiddles and then there was maybe 15 minutes left actually teaching us something.

Kowledgable, total sewing machine store. I live on Vancouver…read moreIsland. Recently I was in search of Brother Sewing machines. There are only a few Brother Sewing Machine Dealers on the island, not in my town. So after doing (Google) search, and making some telephone calls directly to the stores in Victoria, I came to the decision that Sawyer Sewing Centre is the best place to purchase my sewing machine; the most important reason being their in-house aftercare support. I talked with Judy at the store twice, and she was great. So we drive to Victoria for a couple hours to purchase a Brother sewing machine, letting Judy know which day I would come in. On arriving Victoria, we went directly to Sawyer sewing Centre. The store has many sewing machines of many makes. Judy was so kind and gave me a demonstration, as well as letting me try key points, on the particular model that I was interested in, and helped me through the purchase process, even setting up the Brother's warranty process at the purchase time. She was just awesome, making the process so smooth and easy. She even told me that if I had questions after I went back home, we can FaceTime to help me. Wow. I enjoyed shopping at Sawyer Sewing Centre so much that, after a couple nights' stay in Victoria, we went back to the store to purchase the task lamp - which has proved very useful after a few days' sewing - and various supplies for my sewing on the way back home. Judy got me all ready to start sewing so on returning home, I have already finished a couple project in one week time. Knowing that if something goes wrong, I can have a knowledgeable store such as this with helpful and experienced staff like Judy in Victoria, I feel so at ease and excited about my new sewing machine. If anyone wants a sewing machine, I recommend this store.

I have used a sewing store in Vancouver, where I bought my machine and they are no help. The take the time to explain all the purchases, as I am fairly new to sewing. I really can't say enough about the store and the staff. No wonder they have a five star rating.
