I have an older Bernina and needed a walking foot. It took awhile but they found just what I wanted!

Hands down, the best quilt fabric and sewing machine shop in northeastern Iowa. I am delighted with the service at Inspired to Sew, from the cheerful and knowledgeable staff. Classes have been well run and great learning experiences, worth driving 1.5 hours each way, sometimes several days in a row. I plan to purchase all my major sewing machine equipment here, as the service is incomparable.

Inspired to Sew is a class act in education, sales, service and product. They have a great fabric inventory and their staff is well trained. I have been participating in their classes since 2008 and love the virtual options they offer. Jill is always encouraging. I have loved the challenges offered in 2023.

I bought a sewing machine in March and was told I would have a free class to learn how to use my machine. This was very important as a new sewer, but now here we are in October and despite exchanging emails I still haven’t had a lesson. I am very frustrated with watching videos and struggling on my own. I so regret buying from this store! In hindsight I would have paid more money elsewhere to have some support and to actually be enjoying my project rather than avoiding it. So disappointed.

I inherited a sewing machine after my mother passed away this year. She had a Husqvarna Viking model 5530 from the '70s that she inherited from another family member. I had sewed with her minimally and it had been at least 15 years since I had.My pants had ripped and I needed to get them mended. I looked at a lot of options and I found a class that was offered at inspired to sew and I thought it was interesting so I signed up for it. I took a whole day off work to go to this class. It was interesting. I was able to learn a lot from it Mandy, who led the class did a great job. I was able to get my pants fixed as well so that was good. It's a really cool building with a lot of helpful people and resources. If you really want to get into sewing, my main goal is just to maintain the clothes that I have at this time and I was able to learn the skills and have the resources here to do that.

Shopped for a sewing cabinet...$50.00 to ship to your house and you having to assemble it is poor customer service in my eyes. What if you are elderly and have nobody to do that? If I am paying large amounts of money for a beautiful sewing cabinet I would want somebody that is a professional putting it together.

Oh my, where to start. Let's just say I am re-inspired! When I first walked in, Jen greeted me, and have me a tour of the place. I had goose bumps. Lol. Brittany answered my questions about purchases, trade ins, and classes. They also helped with instructions on how to do a project my grandson volunteered me for. Love this place and will be back.

Inspired to Sew is my go-to LQS for all my quilting and sewing needs. They have a never ending selection of fabric, supplies to make bags, notions, patterns and sew much more! Their staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The only thing I don’t use them for is their machines as I favor Husqvarna Viking and they are a certified Bernina dealer.

Excellent staff & customer service. Had an issue with my new to me embroidery machine. Called store & spoke with Kaylee. She called me right back & used FaceTime to solve my issue. Everyone is always so nice & helpful when I am in the store also.

Love Inspired to Sew! I had gone into another local store today hoping for some advice on a project and had a very negative experience. When I went to Inspired afterward, I was met by an extremely helpful person who seemed to genuinely care about my needs. She helped me find what I needed and offered to do some further research into parts for my sewing machine. Also picked up a TON of new fabric as they have great deals!Thank you Inspired to Sew - you helped pull my bad day back up!

After placing several orders online, I feel confident in saying this is one of the best fabric stores I've found! They're professional, prices are good, and they ship very quickly. One of my orders had an issue, and the store reached out to me and offered several solutions. Fantastic store - I only wish I could shop in person!
