While they have a nice selection of fabric, the customer service is terrible when it comes to…read moremachine service. The staff never knows when the technician will be in, when the machine will be done, or if he has even looked at it yet. The technician says that he does one thing when it is evident that he has not. Multiple times I have brought my longarm machine home after being "cleaned" and "fixed" only to have the same issues. And I have clearly seen that the machine was not cleaned. I live an hour away and when I call to let them know that the issue was not fixed, the answer is "bring it back in" (2 hour round trip). Most recently, and the last straw, was after bringing my longarm in for a cleaning and being told that I was "first in line", there was no communication about the machine and when I would call, the shop tells me they don't know when he will be in and when he was last in. Then, a week later I called to check on the status of the machine and they say it is ready for pickup. When I got there, it was not ready, but he said I can "finish it" at home. After following his instructions, the machine still did not work properly. He then stated that it would need a $700 part (mind you, the machine was not even in the shop at that time). After spending hours on the phone with the HandiQuilter tech line, I decided I would need to find another dealer. The new dealer opened the machine up and it looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in years (he sent me pictures). The tech said he has never seen a machine that bad. So, it appeared that the $300 that Red Rooster required that I pay upfront for the machine "cleaning" never got done. I will not be going back and will never recommend this shop to anyone else.

My 4 year old loved sewing so when I noticed this shop across from where we ate dinner, I knew I…read morehad to make a stop so I could introduce her to a craft I loved as a child. They were closed so we went back this morning. I asked for any kits appropriate for a four year old, and one of the ladies told me to give her a second. She came back with scraps and said they were free so my daughter could find out if she liked it. And then if she did, she had more for my daughter to try. You just don't find this kind of kindness at many shops anymore, and I so appreciate their willingness to pass on their craft like this. I ended up buying some items for myself, and I'm excited to get back on my cross stitch journey while my daughter starts her own.

Enjoyed a quick visit to the shop last week. Some of these older reviews really talk down about the…read moreservice. That wasn't my experience at all. My sister, who is an avid cross stitcher, enjoyed perusing the shelves and looking at threads and patterns. One of the things my sister was very excited to find was hand-dyed backing and a beautiful pattern for a stained glass window. When she couldn't find something she was looking for, she asked for help and received it. The ladies working there were a little quirky, but I think that's to be expected in a cross stitch shop. We also enjoyed meeting Romeo, the beagle. He was very calm and just enjoyed some sniffs and pets before letting us shop.

There's nothing for me to like or dislike really about this place. It's a big open space with a…read morebunch of "tacky" Christmas sweaters, but they're all just sweaters and sweatshirts that have been purchased from places like Elder Beerman, Sears, Kmart, insert retailer that caters to older women who wear sweater vests and themed sweaters. I don't think they're original, I was expecting sweaters that had been decorated and then placed for sale, which I think would have been more interesting. I also don't think they're tacky or ugly...they're not far off from things I watched my grandma wear for Christmas growing up, and I loved my grandma, and never found her tacky. I think they could be described as items for the "older" crowd (50-60+) at best. Being old doesn't make you tacky or your sweater ugly. If you're looking for a pre-made sweater for a party, this might work for you, but it's not going to work in a situation where people are expecting you to make your own.

It's such a simple, but brilliant idea to open an ugly Christmas sweater store. Why couldn't I…read morehave thought of this?! Anyway, don't do like I did and waste your time, energy, and gas crisscrossing Columbus looking for sweaters, Christmisc has them all. I consider the prices ridiculously high, but in hindsight the cost would have balanced out after driving all over the city searching for a bargain. The store is neat and organised with several racks of sweaters in all sizes and colors. It's a seasonal pop up store, so I'm not sure when they open. I had to do a serious internet search to find this place, the address was actually incorrect, luckily the location is right across the walkway. For my next ugly sweater party, this will be my first stop!

This is a rather charming boutique in Worthington. I stumbled upon it while I was in the area and…read morecouldn't help but check it out. It's filled with tons of fun decor items, jewelry, children's toys, bath and body products like bath bombs, and then some. The prices are a little high but exactly what I would expect for a shop like this. It's great for gifts or something for yourself. It is geared towards women but there's no harm in that. If you're out walking in the neighborhood then definitely stop in. Oh, and the staff was so friendly. They brightened my day.

There's a baby section with lots of items made from organic materials, house decor, toys and some clothes as well. I was shopping for my nieces first birthday and found some great items that went with her cupcake theme. The woman who helped me at checkout was very friendly and wrapped everything for me. Such a nice touch that you can't get at chain stores. My gift for my niece is wrapped and I even left with a gift for my nephew that she wrapped separately. Definitely worth the 20 minute drive.

Thus, this store has even more to gawk at, since all the east side stuff has been consolidated to this shop. What is my favorite thing about this joint? So many wonderful, vibrant, 60s prints. Paisleys galore! Also, quite a few pre-grouped fat quarter bunches. I always enjoy looking at these groupings: Wonderful for helping the mind push past a "can't match anything" moment! Oh, and so many finished blankets hanging all around! I like to get ideas for my next pattern when looking at finished examples. The patterns are kinda high here, but I always get plenty of ideas!

Expect to spend at least another $500+ on materials which the class description never even hints at, even on things that you won't ever use again, or even need/open during the class such as a book and other supplies which will be pushed on you to buy, and then when you try to return at end of class because you didn't use/need them at all, they'll say it's non-refundable such as a $30 book that wasn't even opened once. Why can't they have a common supplies basket that students share during class if it's shareable, especially if you don't need it, or won't ever use again? Because they are out to extract as much $$$ from each student as possible. BEWARE of total cost of taking any class from this place, they are out to make as much $$$ as possible at the student's expense, even if end up not using/needing for the class. When tried to return at end of class bc clearly wasn't needed for the class, manager was extremely nasty in saying it's non refundable. Very stupid way to run a business as word spreads in a community!
