This sewing center is TERRIBLE. I called and spoke to the owner Kelly on the phone. I made…read morearrangements to bring some work out to her and have alterations done along with some patches sewn on to leather and jean jackets. We also planned a day for me to come out and drop off all the garments. So about 1 week later I took everything out to Kellys Sewing Center to drop off. I live in Harbor Creek and its a 45 minute drive one way to her shop from where I live. When I got there the shop was locked and closed with no lights on even though her website on GOOGLE busness and Yelp business stated OPEN NOW. I checked all this before leaving my house to make sure I dont waste my time effort and money. I called the phone number 4 times from the parking lot but when the automated phone answered my phone, I got a recording asking me for an access code. I could not even leave a message. So I had to drive back home. It was 1.5 hours of my time and gas in my car wasted because of this situation and I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. So the next day I called and some guy answered and I told him the situation and was still going to do business with them depending on how they handled this. Well the man I spoke to said to me "That's Life Buddy". He offered no explanation or apology and told me Kelly was taking a few days off out of the 4 days per week she is open. When I told him calmly that I was going to leave bad reviews on how they do business , he was rude and hung up on me. I can see they have an attitude and they will never get my business. There is no excuse for that kind of disrespect and attitude towards people that spend money at their business. It tells us all in the Erie, PA area quite a bit about their work and their business and how they treat their customers. I suggest everyone take your alterations and sewing work somewhere other than Kelly's Sewing Center where the customer is treated with respect and without this prima donna attitude. I wont ever go there again.

Of which the only downside was getting into the building. It has a very steep ramp that was hard pushing a wheelchair up, but they helped coming down. They also have their selves on wheels to move so wheelchairs can get around.

I received absolutely lovely fabric! I was a bit nervous to order fabric online for the first time…read morebut the beautiful fabric selection at Country Quilt Shack convinced to go for it and I am so glad I did. Shelley has shipped all of my orders extremely quickly and each has arrived well-packaged and safe. The fabric itself has all been absolutely gorgeous, soft, and true to color for the pictures posted on the website. After receiving my first set of fabric, I went back and ordered more. I missed one item in that order and placed a second a few minutes later. Shelly noticed and combined the two orders, refunding me the second shipping and handling fee without me even thinking to ask about combining the orders. She is super nice and quick to answer questions. I will definitely be purchasing again!

The location would have merely walked away with the three star stamp of mediocrity for that. What particularly put me off was the door greeter/staff-member-who-was-otherwise-messing-around-in-the-cart-corral-by-the-door. I walked in, was said "hello" to very stonily which I otherwise ignored because I don't expect anyone in that job to be in a very good mood, then I walk almost halfway down the length of the store as I look around, getting a feel for the layout as I had never been in here before. Then I hear this idiot SHOUT (because I am again quite a ways away from the door at this point), "Can I help you find anything?" In other words, the dreaded, "Are you going to steal something because you aren't white?" One might generously detract that maybe he decided to scream because I looked lost, but his unfriendly manner throughout the exchange and the fact that I did not see (or more pertinently hear) him accost anyone else who entered in such a gross fashion leads me to believe it probably wasn't. So for that, one star and the recommendation you not support this decrepit outlet.

I went to Needle in a haystack for the first time over Memorial weekend. It was truly a memorable…read moreexperience. We had a free sew. Only 7 sewers were in attendance. The staff had all my needs anticipated and if I needed anything else, they were right there. The accomadations were 5*. Each bed had a hand made quilt! What a treat! They supplied breakfast and lunch and we all went out to dinner with a 10% coupon provided by NIAH. Jeff unloaded our personal luggage and then took the car and unloaded our sewing gear on the upper level of the building. The building in itself was amazing, It was converted from an old barn and polished and shined beautifully. The staff was wonderful as well as Judy and Jeff the owners. There is also a fabric store with yummy fabrics most of which were $5-$9 with some for $12 and patterns galore! I can't wait til my next visit! Helen Dunlap

You check in late Thursday afternoon and leave Sunday late morning (they even feed you)... they have "free sews" where you work on your own project as well as weekends where they have someone teaching a particular project. As if that isn't enough... they also have a Fabric Barn Outlet at the same location... where you can get all the fabric they carry for $5, $6 and $7 a yard! Judy, Megan and Jeff are wonderful. Take a sewing buddy or go yourself and you'll find lots of new friends! You have to check out all the pictures and info they have on their website (really reasonably priced to stay too)... http://www.needleinahaystackretreat.com/index.htm
