All I can tell you is the experience I had taking group fiddle lessons at Tapestry just before they…read moremoved to Bay St. I paid $80 and what a waste of money that was! 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. It obviously would have been far more productive if the lessons had been at least 90 minutes, then we would have had time to actually learn something. I wonder if it's too late to get my money back⁉

It was back in a few days before they said it would be ready. The final cost was less than the estimate. The guitar plays beautifully . So much better than Imagined. It plays so well.

Highly recommend these guys and this shop for all your guitar needs.

He said he wouldn't guarantee anything but it would cost me $225. He was rude and had no customer skills whatsoever. I would definitely not have him in my house and do not recommend him.

Shillion is in his 70's and knows his business, very knowledgeable and energetic. My frig// freezer had quit and he found the culprit very quickly. The whole job took about 1.25 hrs and to my surprise when leaving at 9:30 at night he stated that he'd be heading to the bus. He likes the bus travel and the fact that it costs him little every month. An amazing man, very likeable and straightforward. My freezer/frig is 20 years old and he said if the compressor goes again then it's time for a new frig! I appreciated his honesty and his willingness to work in the evening ,as leaving my food outside in two coolers is a bit onerous to say the least. Also was a very reasonable price!

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.
