I love to support local small - and women owned businesses, like the Twisted Stitch…read more As others have shared, finding this great little shop can be a challenge the first time you visit. But I have now been here a few times. The owner, Sharon, is great to work with and always takes time to answer my questions or make helpful suggestions. I am fairly new to quilting, but I'm hooked! Sharon also long-arm quilted a large, king-sized quilt for me, and it turned out great for a wedding gift. I would not have been able to quilt it myself on my home machine, and she finished it within a few weeks for me. Every time I have visited, here are some new, great quality fabrics. For me, this is over a 30-40 minute drive from home, but it is worth it for the quality materials, notions, and help I can get from Sharon. If you like to sew or craft, this is definitely a wonderful store to visit.

I haven't found…read morea ton of selection with their notions and project bags, but I am very pleased with their yarns: -They have a wide selection of yarns, and I love that they always have sweater quantities in stock and ready to ship out within a day or two. My favorites are Isager, Sandnes Garn, Rauma, Hillesvag, and Jamieson's of Shetland. These are top tier yarn companies that are not the easiest to find online, and I have been so happy they are always in stock at this store. -The shop images are clear and easy to see, and I always find it very smooth and pleasant to shop online. I find myself using their site to compare yarn colors and get complete yarn information all the time since they list everything out & their images are high resolution. -They usually process my order quickly, and a huge bonus that they offer 10% certain brands and free ball winding. - I always get free shipping, and my order is easy to track and usually arrives within the work week. Overall I highly recommend them!

My family has worn their spiritwear since the early 2000s. Our two kids played school and community sports from middle school on, and we bought plenty of tees and hoodies and jackets. We're still wearing a lot of them, too. They're good quality stuff, the designs are always eye-catching, and I don't remember anything being overpriced. I never helped organize the team sales but I've talked with those who did, and they told me that the process was always collaborative. The owners are professional and friendly and easy to work with. I recommend them.

Michaels recently added curbside pickup to their chain because of the COVID situation. However,…read morethey put absolutely no thought into how to make it efficient. They have you check in via app but then call the store when you get there anyway. When you call, there's no option for curbside pickup so you have to guess on what extension you need. Then, they have you tell them what parking spot you're in but then ask you for your car details. I just told you what spot I'm parked in why do you need more info than that? I ended up waiting for 10 mins outside and no one came with my things so I had to go inside to get them. That wouldn't be a problem but I chose curbside for a reason. Just really disappointed in how little Michaels as a chain thought their curbside pickup through. So many other places have such better systems, and Michels needs to follow suit.
