What Our Students Say





"This fabric store has an outstanding variety of fabrics of great quality and good prices. Staff members are always very helpful and friendly. The owner, Suzanne, and her husband are delightful and make you feel welcome every time you come (they even share cookies if they have any!) The classroom is spacious and well equipped with lots of light. I highly recommend this store."
Susan Wildernessrider





"Hip Stitch is a fun shopping experience every time I go in. I love their new location with a large classroom and many more bolts of fabric. They always have something new in projects, books, fabric or notions and their sales are irresistible. I live an hour away but it's always worth the drive to shop for my favorite modern fabrics. Suzanne is a gem!"
