There's a Bernina store on Loop 289, south side, between Slide and Quaker. There's also a relatively new place called Darlene's at 2149 A 50th Street, between University and Ave Q. I've not been there, but I met the owner (very nice) at the last guild meeting I went to. Hancock's has also opened up in a new (to me) location at Loop 289 and Quaker. It's sits back in the corner, down from Mardel's. JoAnn's is at 82nd and Slide. Hobby Lobby is on Slide, just south of the Loop. Have fun!
