Pfaff Sewing Machines

Okay, here it is. We now officially Stock Pfaff Sewing Machines. We are the only store all the Central Coast that has Pfaff. I am really happy with the way the store is heading now having all Major Brands. Come and see us for a deal.

We have learnt so much about Sewing Machine's in the last 6 years, as we are on them everyday learning something new.Also we attend training all the time. We also service all brands of machine's. 1 week turnaround. Come on in to the store and have a look at our range of Sewing Machine's or if you are having trouble with your machine we might be able to help you out.

Any one that attends our classes is welcome to sit in class and have a go.
BOY, this year so going to be busy. Everyone is hands on deck and ready to go.
I will be teaching most days, also doing a couple of workshops each month, and sewing Dance wear in the arvo. (while running the store) and showing customers how to use their Machines.


Ange will be teaching again this year(her mum is going really well) all our dressmaking classes
and some Patchwork classes. She is an Excellent teacher the best you can get. I am really lucky to be able to work with her. AND sewing Dance wear.




Gail is teaching our Machine Embroidery Classes.




Robyn will be looking after the store.(orders, phone calls, putting out stock ,etc)



Leanne has her own Thursday sewing Group.



Jan will be teaching with me on a Monday night(as she did last Year) and taking over from Ange with our kids classes.



Ally will keep doing her Magazine work and Teach our "Quilt in a day" workshops, and helping in the store.




We are only taking max 8 per class as the feed back we have is customers think classes they go to are to full. If there is a big class in our store 2 teachers will be on hand.(Mon nights, Tuesday's, Saturdays are big days in the store and there is 2 teachers).


I am looking forward to this year even though it is going to be so busy. But that's just the way i like it.



Happy Sewing

Jan foster was their teaching them basic skills about there machine's and Piecing there quilts together. We limited the class to 7 so all the girls did not feel rushed.They all finished there tops and will quilt them next Tuesday.
It was a fun day with them sewing in the store. They were a great group of girls.Here are there finished top's of there quilts.
