We only have one that I know of in town. I don't go there often, not very friendly. :(

There is a great one in Clovis, which borders Fresno.

The one in Clovis is fabulous - Quilting Paradise. I have never been to any of the others in the area.

Congratulations on your new feather weight! :-D I'm in the market for a new sewing machine and am looking for a FW. I'm so glad it ended up with someone who will use and appreciate it. Enjoy!
