Sanford Sewing Machines - Sanford, Maine

They have beautiful fabrics but they are too busy to help. Some of the staff is trained and knowledgeable, while others are not. Sara is especially helpful and wonderful. But, don't call during a class time, because the lady answering the phone will make sure you know that you should not come in for help or anything else.

Wonderful people, troubleshot my machine that I didn't even buy there, fixed a problem with a part and gave me instruction without charge. Also found they offer lessons and will teach you to use any machine you buy from them. If my daughter enjoys sewing on the cheap machine i got elsewhere they will be my one and only go to for advancing!

Absolutely lovely place, cannot recommend highly enough. Their prices are much more reasonable than what I researched online.

AND, I came in very close to their closing time, expecting to quickly buy and go, but they took their time and seriously went into detail about every machine they had, pros and cons, expectations, etc. Answered all my questions. Not for one second did they make me feel rushed. They dug out extra feet so I could try different functions. They put out multiple machines so I could do side-by-side testing out. Plus all of their sewing machines come with free classes and you can call them anytime or bring your machine in if you're having a problem.

I can't speak to the fabrics or accessories but they looked like they had a good selection.

I haven't bought a new sewing machine for at least 20 years. I was really happy to find this place. The first machine I bought had a few too many bells and whistles for me but they have a 30 day return policy so I had no problem exchanging it for a more basic model. They have perks like a package of free needles every month for the first year and free sewing classes. They also have supplies and top of the line fabrics...meaning expensive and hard to find fabrics. And even if you didn't purchase your machine there they will tune it up and repair it if necessary.

Amazing. The ladies there are so helpful and patient. I'm new to sewing and they all got involved trying to help. Purchased my 1st sewing machine there a few months back and now starting to venture to do cute projects. Very well stocked store with pleasant helpful employees.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. You can rent their floor model long arm quilting machines at an affordable rate, and they assist if you have any issues or need help. Nice selection of fabrics and it's the best place to buy a new or used machine. Knowledgeable staff gives lessons and classes.

My friend & I visited this shop yesterday for the first time. It won’t be the last. We were greeted immediately as if we were friends and not customers. We had questions, they had great answers. We learned a lot about long-arm sewing machines & good companies. Fabric was lush, soft and creatively displayed. We actually sat down and chatted. My friend bought some fabric and I came away with some wonderful ideas and a long wish list.
We will certainly go back for more fabric, more quilting tips and, most of all, for the homey feeling of this fine quilt shop. Thank you ladies!
