Sew Many Ideas is a great store. They have a wide selection of sewing machines from Brother and Singer to Bernina's. They have several floor models for you to try out and lots of helpful instruction as you do. They also offer lots of kid and adult classes that are very reasonably priced. You can also find a good selection of quality quilting fabrics in stock. There are also lots of books to use for patterns and ideas and quite a few example pieces around. All of the ladies that I have worked with there have been very knowledgeable and friendly.
