Clubs

 

NOTE:  To join any of our clubs, just come in and sign up, or call to register (574-862-4207).   It is important that you sign up each month, so that we can properly prepare for the club.

UFO Club:
This club is for you if you have UnFinished Objects (projects) stashed away in your sewing room.   We enjoy each other’s company while we sew for the day, working to finish those projects.   The club normally meets on the first Monday of the month.  Club fee is $ 3.00 per session or $ 24.00 per year.  (Please check space availability)

Sewing Lovers' and Embroidery Club: 
The club is free if you own one of our embroidery machines and free for one year if you purchase a new sewing machine from us.  Otherwise cost is $ 6.00 per session unless you purchase a kit .  Each month we share sewing and embroidery tips and enjoy show-and-tell.  We also are continuing our Civil War Tribute Quilt and will be adding a new Embroidery quilt and others as the year progresses.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SPECIAL CLUBS

  • 50 Yard Club—Many of you  are working hard to fill up your cards while others are working on their second and third  cards and have already gotten $ 25.00 gift certificates. Great News! Because we have changed computer systems, your fabric purchases are now automatically tracked on your receipt, no need to mark a card!  Be sure to ask about the 50 Yard Club the next time you purchase fabric.
  • Finish It Up Club— Each month we post pictures of all of the entries in our front window.  Check them out when you visit and bring your completed project (or projects) made with fabric purchased from us.  We’ll include your picture the next time—and maybe even let you know that you’re a winner.

  • Birthday Club—Don’t forget to present your drivers’ license during your birthday month and you’ll receive a discount on one purchase equal to 1/2 your age. This discount applies to all regularly priced merchandise (excluding sewing machines and sergers). For some of us, that’s getting to be a significant percentage!
  • Join the Cut-Ups! —You can use our new AccuCut cutting system to cut strips, squares, rectangles, and appliqué shapes for your projects.  This takes the drudgery out of cutting and gives you accurate cuts in a fraction of the time.  For a fee of $ 5.00 per month (or pre-pay for a year and save $ 10.00), we’ll teach you to use the AccuCut.  Then all you have to do is call and make a reservation.  Use it as many times as you like during the month to cut fabric purchased in our shop (there will be an extra charge to cut fabric purchased elsewhere).
