Best Notions Store Springfield Near Me

Sherry A: Went in to get Feet for a Sewing machine! They Had what we Needed !

Michael Cook: Very helpful staff

Roxanne Ramirez: I'm not usually one to write reviews, let alone negative ones. I know everybody has a bad day every once in a while, but what I saw and heard needed to be shared. The owner is just a mean, hateful old lady. She was berating customers for shopping elsewhere. It didn't matter to her that they didn't have what they were looking for. She was just being mean and nasty to what appeared to be a long time customer. I can hardly imagine what she says when there aren't other people around. The owner is the textbook definition of a "Karen". I always try to keep my money local, but I would implore anyone reading this to take their money elsewhere, even if the elsewhere is a big box store. I will not be going back because of this disgraceful act. If she treats her customers this badly, maybe it's time to retire. If I were Brother, I wouldn't want to be associated with this lady.

I understand that shipping is a problem but I have been enjoying several times in the past year or 2 and it has been no different. I probably will not go back.

Michael Romero: We couldn't stop picking fabrics , as soon as we found the perfect quilt material we found a perfecter one. Deep discounts on " Last Chance " fabrics led us to buy five times more than we came in for.The cutting table clerk was very knowledgeable and very patient with all our questions and all our " Oh ! And add this ! Oh wait , this too ! "We can't wait to finish these projects and go back.

Daniel Moreno: Good place to get your crafts, a bit pricey though so bring coupons!

Era Justice: This store sells a nice selection of quilting fabrics, as well as a nice selection of different sewing and embroidery machines. I've shopped at this store for several years, and they were always very helpful, however, when I recently purchased an embroidery sewing machine from them, I saw a different side of their business and customer service. They don't provide any beginner embroidery classes, nor much support for learning the intricacies of machine embroidery. They're more interested in conducting high dollar (I.e. several hundred dollar) classes instead of the more simple embroidery classes to help new machine embroiderers. When I asked if they did/would do any type of beginner classes, my request fell on deaf ears. It is very frustrating, when asking for help, to be told "bring your finished project in and I'll tell you what you did wrong." That might help me for the next time, but my current project is ruined. I'm very disappointed in the "after purchase" service/help I've received from Quilt Sampler.

Cindy Heisserer: Rudest owners worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Sold my daughter a machine they knew wasn’t suited for her needs just for the commission of the salesperson.

E: Heads up on buying here!! These folks don’t do machine returns whatsoever. I wouldn’t buy a machine from them since they wouldn’t take it back even if you changed your mind and haven’t opened the box yet. They just want you to upgrade.

Marie Sellers: My favorite quilt shop in Missouri! You will be met by a knowledgeable, friendly, helpful staff when you come in the door. They offer a wide variety of fabrics, quilting and embroidery supplies and notions. I have purchased 2 of my Brother sewing machines there and my Bernina Longarm quilting machine as well as a Brother sewing machine for my mother in law. They are always helpful if I have a question.

The Clarks: It is so nice to find a shop that is like this one. Friendly, talented and do repairs. We had our Bernena tuned up and the man who worked on it was very knowledgeable. The police was reasonable and it took less than one week.

Lynn Smart: Aĺl of the people that work at Quilt Sampler are very knowledgeable and helpful. If they don't have the answer they will get it for you. They offer amazing classes, fabrics, and notions. They'll order it if they don't have it in stocks. Also Great parking ! A+++

Carmine H: Absolutely horrible service. I enjoy quilting and spend an average of $200-300 a month on fabric and supplies (my 2 daughters quilt with me too). I ended up buying a very expensive Pfaff machine there, after 6 months it was skipping stitches. I brought it back to be serviced, and was charged because the timing was off. I had to remind them that it was *still* under warranty and should not have been charged for that. They huffed and withdrew the charge. In March of 2020, I had signed up for a class that was cancelled due to COVID. By August, they had still not rescheduled, so I reached out to see if I could get a refund. No response back. So on October 12, I reached out again to find out what was going on. Both the shop and I agreed that it would just be placed as a credit on my account there. Today I sent my husband in to pick up a teflon foot and a package of leather needles for me. My husband told Cristen (the owner) to apply it against the balance in my account with them. Cristen told him that they had mailed me a check over 2 years ago. She then said it *was* a credit on my account, but it was only to go towards a cleaning of my machine. My husband said he would step outside of the store to give her time to figure out how she was going to handle it since she couldn't keep her story straight. When he went back inside, she had brought Brad, the machine repairman over to watch over my husband for some reason. My husband was not threatening, or mean, or demeaning, or had even raised his voice (in fact - he was joking around with another lady shopping in the store about how he was the errand boy for his wife). Regardless, she *finally* applied the refund to my account and my poor husband left. They will never get my hefty business again and I will find another shop to service my machine.

robin helvey: I’ve been shopping at quilt sampler for a long time, they are the best in town for a few reasons. The selection of products is top notch but what brings me back every time is the employees. Any one of them will go out of their way to help you, but will also just let you shop without pressure. We are also lucky to have a shop owner that puts on events and educational classes, she cares for her customers!! My happy place.

Michael Cook: Friendly staff very knowledgeable.

jennifer Mehrtens: I also love their scrap bin for my other projects, so fun!

Judith Von Ohlen: Friendly and great quilt shop whether for classes, fabric or machine maintenance!

Jeanine Amrak: Thank you for acknowledging my post, I changed it to 5 stars for the simple fact that you care , I believe there was a sign on the door that said u all were open and that was the confusion.

Jan Milton: Wonderful place to purchase a sewing machine. They even offer classes for those like me who don't know how to sew

Barb Palmer: Would be a 5, but prices are a little bit high. Great selection of fabric, patterns,etc

Karen Carroll: As usual great and informative. This shopping experience was very helpful.

carol baer: Wide range of quality fabric s. Sewing machines for sale and service available.

Tammy Condren: This shop is OUTSTANDING in customer service! They have answered calls on weekends, holidays, evenings, FaceTimed me through issues, and never make me feel like I’m ‘putting them out’. I even had a melt down, drove to the shop with my machine and they sat down beside me and walked me through my issue.I couldn’t ask for better service and follow up from a shop!AND they’ve gone over and above to serve during Covid through Live feeds, on line classes, discounts and shipping, etc. Great selection of fabrics and products! ❤️ Quilt Sampler!

Becca Lawson: I'm not usually a review writer, but especially after having glanced at the other reviews here I thought this deserves an exception.I had called to make an appointment to bring my Bernina in for maintenance since I had heard I could get same day service here and it's hard for me to be away from my machine too long. ;)Brad got started immediately and invited me to ask questions if I had any, so I stuck around to watch for a bit and found it so interesting that I ended up staying for the whole thing. Of course he got it running smoothly again, I expected that. But he also demonstrated features I was unsure about and showed me the best way to keep it up, never making me feel like a pest for asking so many questions.I walked out of there feeling like I had been to the salon for an overdue haircut - like a weight was lifted, fresh, and excited to try it out for myself when I got home. Now that I have a shop I'm comfortable with, I certainly won't wait so long to have it serviced again.Regarding the shop's service that others have mentioned: I, for one, appreciate being able to look around without someone constantly hovering. I found all the other employees to be available, responsive, and helpful as soon as I needed them. I appreciated the casual atmosphere and the large fabric selection. So many lovely things to choose from and tastefully presented.

Roxanne Ramirez: I'm not usually one to write reviews, let alone negative ones. I know everybody has a bad day every once in a while, but what I saw and heard needed to be shared. The owner is just a mean, hateful old lady. She was berating customers for shopping elsewhere. It didn't matter to her that they didn't have what they were looking for. She was just being mean and nasty to what appeared to be a long time customer. I can hardly imagine what she says when there aren't other people around. The owner is the textbook definition of a "Karen". I always try to keep my money local, but I would implore anyone reading this to take their money elsewhere, even if the elsewhere is a big box store. I will not be going back because of this disgraceful act. If she treats her customers this badly, maybe it's time to retire.

Jennifer Thomas: Great customer service, excellent fabric selection, and very inspirational quilt shop!

Kim V: Basic fabric store, no common name fabrics, basic stuff.

Barbara Smith: Good selection at a reasonable price.

Chris Burch: Did Nothing here but work on an AC and later installed new AC. ( Used AC that is)

Samantha Pickard: I was in the middle of a project and realized I didn't purchase enough yardage from my local fabric shop. When I went back, they had completely sold out of what I needed. Thankfully, Merrily had exactly what I needed, and it just arrived today with enough time to finish my project for this weekend. ❤️

Charlotte Willis: Last week my Bernina 660 had a major melt down. I took it in to be fix. I'm newer to the area I live in and stopped by Merriley We Quilt alone, by recommendation, to just check out the Bernina machines. Long story short I bought a new machine. I couldn't be happier. I need to thank Connie for all her wonderful help and time. It's a great shop.

Old Deuteronomy: Excellent service and friendly staff.

charlene yingst: I took my Bernina to be serviced routinely. I drive an hour and a half to take it them because they are trustworthy and always do a great job. I am always treated with great service and the ladies in this shop are always so kind, knowledgeable and helpful!! The shop is beautiful and so much fun to shop! I recommend it above any shops I have visited!

Till we Have More time! Beautiful Fabrics ! People were trying out Machines ! Ladies were Helpful !

Tyri Powell: A few weeks ago I drove down to Springfield to look at various shops that sold higher end machines. Out of 4 places I went, I really liked this place the most! I tested I don't know how many machines that day, but I discovered I really liked only 3 machines at my level that day. One happened to be here! What made it simple for me was my experience with the people who ran their shops.I went home and told my hubs what I found. I got the eye roll from him! But then literally, the next day, my machine I had decided to quit. So I called and asked him for a new one while he was at work. the reply....I'm not buying you another throw away machine.So this last weekend we went back down to Springfield and I took him to see the one I liked. Not knowing anything about Bernina, I walked away and let him talk with the nice lady (forgot her name) that helped us. While I was getting more fabric that I previously bought, he surprised me! She walked up to me saying I'm all set to go! I was like "WHAT"??? I did not think he was going to buy it! I was just there to show him!So off to the learning room I went and she went over the basics with me and showed me everything it came with.I am in love with place and will be stopping in every time I go down there!!The End!!I highly recommend these ladies!

Vanessa Johnston: Great service, products and friendly helpful employees.

Connie Gill: Great selection, helpful staff

John Johnson: I called to see what they had in the way of a used Bernina. I’m from out of town and decided I wanted to take a class at another store and needed a machine. Was put on hold while she looked up the price of a 350 she had traded in. Came to the shop to look at the machine and was treated unbelievably rude the moment I walked in the door. A tall thin lady with white hair asked how she could help me and when I said I would like to look around she rolled her eyes at me and glanced at the other employee and walked away. I looked around the store and was impressed by the selection and machine selection. Was very impressed they at the 890 serger and the new limited edition 790 (I work for a Bernina dealer in another state as an educator and technician). I was about to ask about the used 350 when I noticed the same rude employee watching me. She asked what I was doing and I explained I worked for another shop in another shop and she said “fine but we don’t allow photos to be taken in this shop”. In no way was I taking photos. My phone was in my hand but other then that I in no way made any indication I was trying to take photos of anything. At that point I decided my business was better taken elsewhere. I purchased a few small items (I try to support all small businesses) and left. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome. The rude employee cost them an $800 sale. Also, I will be letting my Bernina rep know how nasty they were and make sure he has words with their rep. I can’t believe Bernina would want their machines sold by a store that would allow an employee to be so openly rude to a customer.

Melissa Spake: Amazing fabrics, incredible service, love this place.
