The one downside is that the line in the fabric room can get long and it's first come first served, so when I just needed a roll of ribbon I had to stand behind 15 people who needed fabric cut. That was tedious. They don't have as many different throws as some of the other places, but this is a good place to come to fill in the gaps.

It would be less than one star if possible…read more Bad attitude, completely unprofessional. I came to look for a Bernina sewing machine -- they generally cost around $2500 to $6500, so this is not a grab-and-go machine you could pick up at Joanns, and definitelly not an everyday purchase for me. The lights were off in the store around 2 pm on a Saturday (business hours?) I finally found a stick-on door bell amidst the sticker chaos by the door, and Earlean, who clearly had no time for me, arrived and unlocked the door. As she blocked the door (I'm over 65 yrs and not a particularly scary looking person), I told her why I was there and she allowed me about 12 feet into the store (never turning the lights on -- the only available light was from the front windows) to where she had a wall of display machines. She offered no information except prices for two machines I asked about. No information about pros and cons of various modles. No information about payment plans (that I know were being offered by Bernina at the time). She offered me absolutely no reason to purchase a machine. I don't know what other products that she carries in the store because she very quickly ushered me out of the dark store before I could see anything beyond the machine display wall. Does she carry fabric? Notions? Someone mentioned vacuums? Anything? This was a really, really, unpleasent experience. I ended up buying a used machine sight unseen, and paying shipping from a New York store because they had great customer service. And anytime I called and asked questions from that store they were very helpful, including after purchase.. It's too bad we don't have a quality store nearby. Bernina sewing machines are so costly because the are incredibly well made and highly computerized. There is a lot to learn when your start out on this machine, it would have been really helpful to have an initial session from a professional learning the basics. Unfortunately this same woman operates the store in Slidell. So you have to do some serious driving or shop online to get a machine from a qualified dealer. I would so love to have a active store with group classes and a community feeling. But no, we have Earlean.
