Some things never change

There is a TOP 10 list pinned to the bulletin board in the employee break room at Kelleys Quality Sewing. The copyright at the bottom indicates 1996 – however 15 years later it still rings true.

1. SELECTION – This dealership carries the full line of top quality sewing machines and sergers. We also carry a complete line of accessories so you can use your new sewing machine or serger to its fullest extent.

3. SEWING AND SERGING CLUBS – Our clubs provide a great way to keep up with all of the newest ideas in sewing and to learn about new special features on today’s machines.
4. SERVICE AND REPAIRS – This dealership has factory trained technicians to provide high quality maintenance service and repair for your new sewing machine or serger.
5. CUSTOMER UPDATE NEWSLETTER – This dealership regularly sends out a customer update newsletter to all customers who have purchased their machine here.

So – what has changed in the last 15 years? We now have sewing machines and sergers that thread themselves, thread and stabilizers that dissolve in water and irons that don’t scorch. We make bag closures using metal measuring tapes, we make complete projects in the embroidery hoop and we cut our fabric using a straight edge and a pizza wheel. The art of sewing is ever evolving and always exciting but the 10 things listed above stay constant. Kelleys Quality Sewing Center is committed to improving your sewing experience through selection, classes, clubs, service, newsletters, warranties, financing, stability, product knowledge and commitment.
And now we are adding one more way to add to your sewing experience by introducing our own KQSC Life is Sew Fun Blog. There are many hidden treasures inside Kelley’s Quality Sewing Center – tools to make sewing easier, tricks of the trade from our staff and customers, and a certain camaraderie that comes from going to a place where “people know your name.” So check out our blog often and join us on an adventure that is sure to be SEW FUN.

Welcome to our KQSC Life Is Sew Fun Blog!

We are attempting to join the exciting world of blogging. It seems to be a popular and useful activity for so many everywhere we look!

Many of our friends and customers have urged us to get up to speed with this technology, and these folks are much more experienced than us, so we’re going to give it the ‘old college try’ and catch up with everybody else!

We have no idea how often we will post or how detailed we will get with these postings, but this certainly is worth trying out, so here goes…

Wish us luck as we venture out into uncharted – at least for us! – waters!
