This store is a lesson in how people are lazy because I am bitchy is what the name of the store should be. The owner, a former designer who apparently is very sadistic in her treatment of people. I went her to purchase a sewing machine. While browsing at the yarn I over heard the owner get very aggressive with her 30 something student.
Really shocked when I asked to look at a sewing machine how nice one of the ladies was. How she tolerates working in these conditions is beyond me. I decided to purchase the yarn and sewing machine around the corner.
There are many places to shop and learn to sew in NYC without enduring this type of treatment. I purchased my machine at LoveSewing Center. They only sell manual machines, but you can ask for a higher end Janome model. It is a lot better than the ones at Sew Fast Sew Easy.
Sewing Machines - LoveSewing - Janomes; ManhattanSewingCenter - Singer, Viking and Pfaff; Cityquilter - Berninas and there is also a place on 38th and 9th avenue that sells brother and Juki
