Hello and welcome to the North Texas group! I guess I'll get things started.

My name is Laura and I live in Flower Mound. I own a Husqvarna Viking Designer SE that I bought 2 years ago. Actually bought it at the State Fair. That's how I found out about Richland Sewing Center in Hurst. It's an amazing shop. Just wish it was closer to me. (or maybe not. wouldn't have any money left lol! ) I really enjoy the embroidery, especially FSL! I know I still have a lot to learn.

So where does everyone else live? What are your favorite sewing shops?

Hope to hear from y'all soon.

Hi Laura,

My name is Marsha and I live in Duncanville, Texas. I just purchased the new Brother Quattro 6000D (it hasn't come in yet; any day).

I am still very new at embroidery, but learning more everyday. I do a lot of shopping for fabric at Best Fabrics off of Harry Hines in Dallas. I am an interior designer and I buy a lot of my fabrics from the World Trade Center as well.

I've sewn for most of my life and I love it!

Great meeting you!

Marsha

Hi Marsha!

Boy, I was beginning to think I was alone here. I know there are several people from the metroplex. I guess everyone is busy sewing for the holidays.

There are several fabric stores on Harry Hines, aren't there? I went to 1 a long time ago. Don't remember the name.It's been many years since I've been down there. I moved here 18 years ago and I shopped in Dallas and Carrollton all the time. Now that things have grown here I hardly go outside of Lewisville.

Well, good to meet you too.

Hi Laura,

I hear you about wondering if you're the only Texan on here. They need to say hi, this is a great way to meet people with the same interest. Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner??? I'm still trying to figure out where August went!

Yes, there are lots of fabrics stores along Harry Hines; some that are hidden. I try to go as often as time will permit; here lately that hasn't been very much. I've been in Dallas for 6 years and I can't believe how it's changed in that short time! My husband has lived here all his life; you should hear him talk about the change. I don't get up to Lewisvill much these days.

It was great to meet you as well. Hope you have a great evening!

Hi everyone.  I'm from Sulphur Springs, TX.  Glad to see the Northern part of TX is being represented.  I'm afraid if I want fabric, I either order it online or go to Dallas area.  What is Harry Hines and where is it.  I moved to TX 1-1/2 yrs ago and I really don't know where anything is, outside of this area.  Any information on where to get fabric is greatly appreciated.  I have 2 embroidery machines:  A bernia artista and a Janome MC 1000.  Love both of them.  I haven't been using them much though.  I need to start with easy projects. 

Everyone have a great embroidery day.

Hi Margie,

Welcome to Texas! Harry Hines in a name of a road in Dallas. "Best Fabrics" is a really good fabric store to visit.

When you are there, you can visit some of the warehouses behind Best Fabrics, there you will find a few other

fabric stores as well.

One of my first machines was a Janome and I really liked it. I never sewn on a Bernia, but I have heard that

people who have one and sew with it really likes it. I just bought a Brother Quattro 6000D and I love it! I just picked

it up on Saturday and can't stop sewing!

If you get to Dallas check out Best Fabric on Harry Hines Blvd.

Happy Embroidering,

Marsha
