Embroidery Supplies

One thing we love about the creative world is the constant flux of new ideas, fun hobbies, and great new techniques to learn. A rising interest in our area is machine embroidery. In fact, we have two machine embroidery classes/groups that meet here in our store! It is always so fun to see the projects they work on and the beautiful stitchery they produce.

With the rising interest, the need for embroidery products has jumped, and we're so excited to show you what we now offer!

  
We have blanks, batting, canvases, thread, patterns, stabilizers, scissors, one stocking left over from Christmas, and more!



And, as always, if you find yourself in need of an embroidery project we don't carry, we would be more than happy to look it up in our catalog and put in and order for you.
