This little downtown gem has been a local sewing repair shop since the 1960's. We service customers in Upland, Pomona, Ontario, Alta Loma, Claremont, La Verne, Fontana, San Dimas, Diamond Bar, Rialto, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Corona, Riverside and even the High Desert. At that time it was a family-ran business until Lou and Rosalie bought the location in 1995. Lou and Rosalie maintained the service department, and expanded the store by adding classes, fabric and more lines of machines. Over the years, they have carried every well known brand but have slowly weeded out the brands that weren't maintaining their quality.
They have kept the brands they could trust and be proud to sell. Today the store looks a little different since Lou retired and continues to act as a consultant. The store currently sells Bernina, Bernette and Baby Lock machines. In addition to sewing machines, the shop also sells high-quality vacuums (not ones that will break and you'll throw away in a year) such as Miele and the commercial line of Sanitaires. We recently added the Oreck Command lines to our inventory. We are an authorized Oreck dealer, Miele dealer, Sanitaire dealer, and Carpet Pro Dealer. We offer classes in everything ranging from how to use a machine; to sewing, quilting and machine embroidery techniques. You can also find a large selection of high-quality quilting fabrics and sewing, quilting and embroidery notions.
The store is on 2nd Avenue in part of the charming little downtown Upland Community, located south of the gazebo and turn-about and just North of the Metrolink.
Downtown Upland has a lot of fun activities they offer year-round such as the Lemon Festival (in April) Christmas Parade, Farmer's Markets, classic car meetings and so much more.
