Sewing Machine Sales & Service in Chesapeake, VA


The Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival 2026 is just 3 days away.  We have pre-sale tickets available in the store for $18.00.  This is a $2.00 discount from prices at the door, and you won't stand in line with everyone who is buying the day of the show.  Take your pre-sale ticket to a seperate line and get your wrist band for entrance into the show all four days.  Quantities are limited so don't miss out. 


The store will be closed Wednesday, February 25 - Monday, March 2 for the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival. We will be back to regular business hours at 10:00am on Tuesday, March 3.  While you are at the quilt show stop by to say "hi".  IF we aren't too busy selling machines we'll say "hi" back.

The Local Quilt Shop Contest gives sewists, fabric lovers, quilters, craft folk, and more the opportunity to show their favorite Local Quilt Shops love and help them win prizes! 
Voting opens on “International Local Quilt Shop Day” (the fourth Saturday in January) and runs until the end of February annually.
