35th Ave Sew & Vac

CHEAPER THAN ONLINE!!! we searched for vacuum cleaner parts online. the best deal, for those who were not out of stock, was $ 15.55 including shipping. At Sew & Vac the exact same items were $ 8.40 including tax. As good as it gets!!!

I love this store and the folks who work there. They always help me select the best fabric for my project and never make me feel my choices (sometimes not so great) seem schlocky! their classes are great! Teachers are super. If you need a machine… ask for Stacy. She knows the all and is so willing to work with you for the best price!

If I didn’t have to give it one star I would not. I signed up for a class 3 months prior to the start of the class. It was a series of six classes and they wouldn’t allow me to sign up for the others until I had taken the first. I arrived at the class and the instructor said I would be signed up for the other five classes and that everything was ok. About two hours into the class I was advised that I wasn’t registered for the other classes and they were full. I wasn’t the only customer who was advised that. There were three other customers who had to deal with similar situations. I will not be returning to this location nor will I take any classes from them. I am extremely disappointed at the lack of professionalism and ability to accommodate those who were affected. Specially since it was their error and not ours. They made no effort of compensation just a insincere apology.

Good selection of batiks. Went on a Sunday afternoon so it was not very busy. This did not turn out to be a good thing. As I was standing 5 feet away from sales counter looking thru fabrics the 3 employees stood near the counter talking. Not a bad thing except that they would be talking in a normal tone of voice, then start to whisper. It was clear that they were gossiping about someone. When they returned to normal tone of voice one of them said «and she said she acted like that when she bought it, so I don’t know why she even sold it to her» That they were clearly gossiping about a customer made me feel uncomfortable. As far as service, the woman who cut my selections was very slow and no one was particularly friendly. I won’t bother to go back.

Good selection of patterns. Not a big selection on fleece. Very helpful women working in there though. Prices are okay considering the rare patterns. I got an old comic book pattern and a batman pattern I haven’t seen in 15years! It get three stars because it wasn’t bad but not completely fabulous.

After doing lots of research into Miele vacuums (online and in local stores), I wound up purchasing my top-​of-​the-​line Capricorn canister vac here. I knew exactly what I wanted and brought with me a list of accessories and best prices I had found online. Jackie was great to work with – she matched the deals I had found AND threw in one of the pieces for free because I would have to return a day later to pick everything up (some things had to be brought over from another Valley location). Because of her willingness to close the deal, I was able to save about $ 200 dollars.
The sale included an extra year on the parts warranty and two years of free maintenance. This on top of Miele’s seven-​year motor warranty.
As I said, I shopped around locally before coming here, and from the minute I stepped inside 35^th Ave, I knew I was in a great place. There was no pressure, just great service.
If my vacuum is ready on time, I will return and bump up the rating to a five.
ps. This store is mostly a sewing machine and fabrics dealer, and I was so impressed with what I saw (gorgeous selection of batiks) that I’m considering signing my daughter up for sewing lessons there this summer.

I recently purchased a vintage Kenmore sewing machine, and needed one little part for it. On a friends recommendation, I came over to 35^th Ave. (Don’t let the name fool you, this is an East Valley location.)
They were surprisingly busy for a weekday evening, but had enough staff to help everyone quickly. I really loved that they took the time to see the photos of my sewing machine to really help me out, and they shared my enthusiasm and excitement. I could find what I need on e-​Bay, but having the personal interaction, and the ability to easily return something that isn’t right is worth waiting for them to locate the part for me.
I will be checking them out again for both my sewing and vacuum needs.
