Hi, I've been reading this quilt board for awhile and decided to join when I read your entry. I am also from Rochester and live just down the street from the store that closed. It's a shame....it was a cute little quiltshop. I was especially disappointed as I just bought a Singer Featherweight, and their parent store in Buffalo specializes in parts for that machine so I was hoping to have a source close to home to buy from. I so like to buy locally.
