1 19949 American Ave. Hilmar, CA (209) Monday-Saturday 9:30-5: A year for change, BIG change! Hello Friends, Well if you have not yet heard, WE ARE MOVING! This is certainly not something we had planned, but we are looking forward to a fresh start in a new space that is going to be GREAT!! We are moving to the suburbs. We will be at American Ave. in Hilmar, not far from where we are now. As much as we wanted to stay in Turlock, we just could not find something that would work for us. One of the things that was important for us, was to find a space that had plenty of parking and we have done that. The space we are moving in to, is now under construction. They are completely redoing the space to our specifications which is very exciting. Some demo and construction of new spaces as well as fresh paint and new flooring will give the space a fresh new look before we move in. We will be in our new space by June 1st. This will mean some closures for the end of May. Please be sure you follow our facebook page for the most up to date information. This might also impact some of our classes toward the end of May, we will let you know if the move affects your class. Long Arm Quilting- Edge-to-Edge Quilting $.0150 per square inch (length x width x $.0150 = estimated cost of quilting) Binding Front only done by machine $.08 per linear inch Front and back by machine $.12 per linear inch (binding cut at 3 ) First Saturday Program Rules We realize this will be a change for you just as much as for us. While change can be a little scary, it can also be really fun and that is what we are hoping for during this transition. We are already planning some great promotions to share this fun with all of you. This first change we are excited to share with you is a return of FREE open sews in our spacious classroom during store hours. During these designated times you will be able to bring your machine and project and sew at no charge. We will also be doing some fun promotions with prizes that include gift certificates to some of the great dining options in Hilmar, including our new neighbors Pizza Plus. As soon as construction is finished we will be making the move! We hope you are as excited as we are for a positive change! Thank you in advance for your patience as we get settled in and we will be in touch! Hope to see you all real soon.
