I went to this shop yesterday for the first time to drop off a vintage 1979 Husqvarna Viking 6000 series sewing machine I want restored, or as the sewing technician said, brought back from the dead. Larry, the technician's eyes lit up with glee when he caught glimpse of the aging beauty...the machine, not me. Apparently he learned his trade on this machine and I believe it because he knew everything about it. Though I told him I'm in no rush whatsoever to get it back (other than I'm excited to use it when it is reborn) I am writing this review prior to getting the machine back because my experience of going to this shop was magical. On par with a child walking into a high end candy shoppe. Once Larry was done giving me my Husqvarna history lesson (which I thoroughly enjoyed) Jessica, the sales clerk taught me all about the modern age of computerized sewing machines. I'll admit, though the technology doesn't scare me, the price tags on these modern marvels make my eyes pop out of my head. Jessica was a thoroughly knowledgeable and friendly modern day sewing machine goddess. She answered all my questions, walked me through the extensive course offerings that the shop offers and even made sure to tell me when their next big promotion and sale was happening. This shop has a wonderful business model that allows patrons to take classes using the shop machines so that you can try before you buy. What's more, they will apply the class fees you paid towards the purchase of a machine in their shop! Brilliant! The shop is beautifully laid out, clean and modern and comfortable. I'm excited to start taking classes there. Here's to the start of a long and beautiful relationship.
