My husband brought me to Pohlar Fabrics to buy a Bernina sewing machine. I am so glad I bought my Bernina sewing machine from Rose at Pohlar Fabrics as this is the best shop ever! If you have never been to Pohlar Fabrics, let me tell you a bit about this shop. When you walk into the building
You will be so surprised. I just love the displays of quilts on the walls. There must be at least 100 quilts in different sizes and colors! Instant inspiration! They have an area for the Accuquilt cutter; this will blow your mind! All the dies and varieties. And if you want, they will show you how it works

Wonderful selection of fabrics and service! Need use of a long arm quilter? They have it! A Bernina fabric store, so it's filled with great machines for your needs. I'm not the quilter in the fam, but this is the one store I don't mind walking around and looking at everything with the one who does!

Such a great selection of fabrics! Many of the fabrics are for the purpose of quilting yet they are also great for clothing and other projects. Well worth the drive!
