I should have read these reviews before engaging Suzanne to frame my large piece of original…read moreabstract art, as I see that others have had similar experiences. After she had my art for six weeks and my money, she said it was finally done. When I came to pick it up, I looked it over and was horrified to see that all the mitered corners were rather hacked up and chipped, looked like they were cut with a very dull blade! She tried to tell me that it wasn't chipped! Maybe she needs new eye glasses. There were large screw heads in the back that would have certainly distressed my wall. She said she would try to "fix" the mitered corners and put cardboard on the back to cover the screw heads. When I came back, it didn't look any better on the mitered corners and I said I couldn't accept it that way. She then tried to turn the tables on me and said that she just couldn't work with me, and that I obviously couldn't be satisfied. Huh? I hired her to do a professional job, and it wasn't professional looking. She said she was done with me! She took the stretched canvas out of the frame and kept the frame! I said I wanted a partial refund on the deposit that went towards the frame. She gave me some lame story about she couldn't just give me cash or a check because I had paid on a credit card, and the refund would be coming to me on the credit card I used. I have never seen the credit and it's been about two months. She owes me a refund considering the "hot mess" it was, and her not taking any responsibility for the miters, I have no option but to give a very negative review. She may think that she should be paid for the labor she put into the frame (I paid for the stretching job), but I don't want to pay for very poor framing labor (she kept the frame), so I must insist on the refund. She kept the frame which I believe she can re-cut and use on another smaller job. She acted like she was the victim, but I am the victim of her shoddy work. Note to Suzanne: Clean up your reception area, very messy, sweep the floor, remove the clutter, etc., poor first impression. I understand that mistakes can be made. But your failure to own them makes the difference. Based on other reviews here, this is a pattern.

After some research, she found Sew and Save in Racine, WI. She called the store while we were on the way for directions which helped us a great deal. When we arrived, we were welcomed by a kind staff. One of the women came out an carried the machine from my car. Mom and I walked around the store for a few minutes and she loved the place. For $119, they cleaned it up. When we went to pick it up, Jim, the owner was there. He took the cover off the threading mechanism and demonstrated to us exactly how to thread the machine and what he did to clean it up. He explained to us how good thread worked better because it did not deteriorate like the cheap stuff. He gave my mother a couple rolls of the good stuff as we left. He also invited her to come to the store and use their machines free to do some quilting work, then loaded the machine in my car. We had a great experience every minute we were in the store and they did quality work for a reasonable price. For all your sewing needs, Jim's store is a good choice.

There is a lot of history in the Midwest and I've travelled around taking photos of old barns and cabins. While I'm not sure what I want to build with the aged wood, I can't help but want to fill my garage with as much as I can get. The shop is decent sized with a private parking area and there is a lot of stuff in the store. The front of the store has walls of siding, beams, shingles, and old artifacts found in the barns like tools and horse hardware. Everything looks so beautiful and the pricing is what you'd expect for the aged look. The rear of the store has an artistic room with home decor finished projects made out of the aged wood. I didn't see any giant lengthy beams but I asked and they have a warehouse up in Wisconsin where they store what you need. The staff was very friendly and willing to get you what you need. I'll definitely be back to load up on this beautiful wood.
