    Our DSM are just like cars. We need a good dealership to help us keep it running.

    what a nice outcome for you... and a nice post to support the new shop opening soon. It's always nice to support local.
    attitude is everything...the rest will fall into place.

    I don't know this area very well but am lucky that my job is taking me in your direction. I was just in the Clearwater area at Safety Harbor and visited two shops. I loved Happy Apple Quilts. They were so personable. The next shop I visited, something with "bears" in the name, was having an end of the bolt sale so I found a slim bolt to buy from! I will be in St Petersburg in April. Any suggestions for shops to visit?
    Sew much to do in sew little time!

    Sue's Bay Area Sewing is on U.S. 19 in the Palm Harbor area. Use Google to find her exact location because I think she moved several blocks recently. Most helpful store.

    Kaye- Country Quilts & Bears is a great shop and so is Happy Apple both have good selection, great customer service and wonderful classes- you will need to visit the new Keep Me in Stitches in Largo on Ulmerton when you come to St Pete. Their 2 shops in Tampa are known for their great customer care and classes, and I'm sure the new shop will be the same besides fabric etc they are Babylock and Bernina dealers. Sue's Bay Area Sewing is known for tremendous thread selection and notions-they don't have fabric, they are a machine dealership too. Rainbow's End has the largest selection of fabrics of any place I've seen in Florida-definitely worth a trip to Dunedin.
    Come to Me and I will give you rest--Jesus.

    So happy for you. Disappointing when you purchase something and find out there is no support or backup. Same as a store going out. I really enjoyed going to Hancock's then they closed up shop. Nearest is 2 hour drive. I'll spend the driving money here at the local shops. Congrats! Love it when they are so near and supportive!!

    Used to live in Largo, on 66st.N Down Yonder MHP. Moved there to take care of Mom and Fred, stepfather. Met second HD and we moved to Homosassa, with lots of trips for Mom. They are gone and I don't get down there now. Where is new dealer? Tri City plaza? Of course there are a lot of stores down there.
