I like Bunney Hutch Quilt 'N Sew in Los Alamitos/Cypress,CA. They always greet you when you come in and they are very helpful if you need help and they leave you alone if you don't want help. I especially appreciate that because sometimes I just want to look around. They offer lots of classes and have a great website. They also have a terrific guy who does machine service at a reasonable rate and warranties his service for 6 months! And, even better, they are less than a mile from my house!
