Smith Owen Sewing & Quilting Center

Love their fabric selection. Fabric patterns feel more modern and prices are comparable to Joann Fabrics or Field’s. I like coming in here cause the staff is friendly and everything is always neatly showcased. Haven’t take. A class or anything here, but I imagine they are nicer than the bigger stores.

I wanted to take the time to express my very positive experience at Smith-​Owen Sewing Center today. I have the Viking Topaz 20 with embroidery module. Due to my own carelessness, I broke part of it off. Now, I live in Austin now but purchased my machine back in 2009 when I lived in Grand Rapids. I called all the Viking dealers in town to see if anyone could help me fix it. Did I mention that my main source of income around the holidays is custom stockings with personalization? I was quoted $ 100 for labor and $ 2 for the part and three weeks to a month of it being out. :-(I knew I was going back home to GR so, on a whim, I decided to give S.O. a call. «Oh, that is such an easy fix! Just bring it in when you’re in town». I packed the module up in my suitcase and flew up to Michigan. Sure enough, they fixed it in 15 minutes and only charged $ 31! Holla! ^_​^ So happy! Now I can get back to work!
