Best Sewing Shop Cambridge Near Me

Samantha H-G: Ronnie was incredibly helpful and patient in helping me choose a sewing machine. She was kind, sweet and very thorough in talking through the features of the machine and let me video her threading the machine so I could refer back to it again rather than reading instructions in the booklet. She was very encouraging and said I could come back and ask questions if I needed help figuring out the stitches if I was working on a project.

chimi changa: Horrible place. Unhelpful, rude, dismissive. Went to another place and they're night and day from this place. I have talked to other people who confirmed that Sewing and Vac is the worst of the worst. HORRIBLE customer service. Ronnie promised me sewing lessons just so id purchase a machine. She was NO help. She and her son Russ are very odd people. I brought my machine in that i purchased from them and they dismissed my concern. Brought the machine to a different place the next day, and they diagnose the problem immediately and resolved it. This business is known in the industry for their sub par customer service. Stay as far from this place as you can. I learned the hard way. Hope this helps someone from not getting scammed like i did.

Jeremy Thompson: They are very friendly and knowledgeable about the business and had the part I needed.

Charlotte Heim: Saved!!!... by David's knowledge and coaching at the Sewing & Vacuum Center. I am a "maker" sewing an unusual sandwich of neoprene and lycra. About 15 months ago, David worked with me to carefully select a machine that met my stitching needs and my budget. I spent at least an hour sewing my materials on a broad range of models in his store. About a month ago, my machine started acting up, causing all sorts of production issues. Today I brought my sewing machine back into the Sewing & Vacuum Center and David patiently listened while I described the issue. Within just 10 minutes, he helped with solve the problem with just a bobbin change! THANK YOU David!!

Arnab Bhattacharyya: Efficient and professional service

mary wells: Very friendly and patient and knowledgeable service while I was learning about different sewing machine options. I decided to buy a machine while I was there (had not initially planned to buy today) because of the great service and machine options and opportunity to come back for instructions on how to use the machine features in the future. Thank you.

Wilson Diaz: Really helpful service & sales.

alex c: Bought a sewing machine and took classes here. The people seem a little different kind of strange but the mother and son are very knowledgeable. The mother is particularly nice and goes out of her way to please. Ill be back for more materials and classes.

james olsen: Getting plenty of information about a future purchase. Very nice woman who I spoke too

Kat Dobbins: This is a rather severe edit of what I consider to be a rather severe review. I don't like to leave such reviews, so I've edited this review to be more concise and helpful.I arrived for the first class in a 4-part series of beginner sewing classes. There was no one there. The lights were off and the door was locked. It was very disappointing, exacerbated by the fact that I busted by butt to get to that class. **I've needed to care more about my work and my health than delivery a payment to an out-of-the-way physical storefront location within business hours during which I hold said job that I need to care about.** I prioritized attending this class but Sewing & Vacuum Center did not prioritize me as a customer/student.There are a few simple things the Sewing & Vacuum Center could have done to prevent this.1. Allow people to register and pay for the class over the phone or online. There are many ways to pay via the internet and many of them are easy to set up.2. Post your class schedule online. If you had simply done this I would have known to come the next week this whole situation could have been avoided.

Jane Dalton: So friendly and helpful

Ann Boyajian: I had a wonderful experience at the store. I came in needing to replace my old damaged sewing machine, and Ronnie spent a great deal of time with me discussing my specific needs and finding me the right machine.

Ann Whitney Freeman Sands: I got a wonderful new sewing machine here w a trade in. As well as helpful information.

Coz Teplitz: The folks here have been very friendly. Still, the $15 limit for use of a card is ridiculous. I know credit and debit card rates are hardest for small businesses, but come on, enter the 21st century. Amazon will ship me everything in your store - including things far below $15.

Plamena Petrova: The worst possible place where you can take anything for repair!! I had to wait a MONTH AND A HALF for them to replace one part of a vacuum cleaner under warranty. In the meantime I had to keep calling the manufacturer and these people wouldn't give any status updates. Not to mention the rudeness of the staff!!! They'd also claim to have called me to give me updates when I haven't received a single phone call. Last but not least, their address is wrong on Google maps cause apparently they moved but you've got no way of knowing that unless you read the sign on their door after you've already looked for parking for half hour and paid!!

Danila Massara: The ugliest fabric selection I’ve ever seen. Bright eye sores, tacky patterns, abhorrent colors, low quality. Definitely nothing anyone should ever wear. Prices are cheap so there’s that

Red Fong: Do not shop here.The owner of this establishment does not deserve patronage because of how rudely she treats her customers. When asked for directions to specific types of fabrics or any form of assistance she is dismissive, patronizing, and rude. She treats customers very differently based on their identities is flat out rude to customers of color, despite the identities of the staff who she employs.Even her staff have relayed that she is an awful boss, should not be running a business, and treats people poorly.Do not support an establishment that treats people as if they don't matter.

Kadie Daniels: kind staff, large collection of good quality and beautiful fabrics for wonderful prices.

Tatiana Rya_ar: I’m happy to see so many different fabrics

Sherrianne Sparrock-Sandiford: Love this store for diy projects. My cushions came with yellow but red wine is my accent color so I headed to the store. Love the result.

Colleen Reynolds: Fabulous prices and a reasonable variety for small store.

Irina Abramov: This joint is utter rednekistan. The fat old exceptionally repulsive hoe running this joint is rude and has no idea what cm or meter is. I asked her to measure out few meters of fabric...the old hag said she does not know what meter is."honey i was born and raised in usa .only yards and inches" Uses too much provintial redneckistani familiarities. Honey. Sweety. i asked if she can show me aproximately how much is yard.. she said "we have a problem i cant service you"i mean hellonobody measures stuff with yards or horsediks these days. Or if you do please show how much it is. Basically this hoe was too lazy to show how much a yard is.. I had no choice but to walk out and spit on her faqn door. cambridge is for intellectual worldy people from around the world.. intellectual elites. if u dont speak cm or meters... pack your shet and move back to rednekistan. She spoke with other clients from other countries with disgust and rudly. Basically she is not interested in doing a good job. She is there more to hang out and waste everyone time.

Homayoon Kian: Horrible customer service, I bought fabrics yesterday. The fabrics was not good so I wanted to return, I tried several times no one answered once they answered in a rude way she put me on hold for more than ten minutes two times.

Candida Gonzalez: A mí me gusta ir ay de vez en cuando tengo que hacer cortinas para mis ventanas y las telas son bonitas..

Lucy Yan: Super helpful staff, great prices and good selection. A hidden gem!

Susan Alexander: Extremely EXCELLENT!

Lisa Keegan: Well-organized and has a great variety of good quality fabrics at very reasonable prices - $6/yard for 54" wide upholstery fabric is pretty spectacular. Doesn't always have every specific thing because it's a discount store, but honestly their variety is impressive and I always shop here first!

Mary Mckenzie: Love everything about this storeI go at least once a week

Stephanie Shields: Great little place for trim's buttons other supplies and fabrics.

Cindi Frogge: Great store. Great prices and a fantastic cashier. Ill be returning soon!

SS: I have been a customer for 15 years now. I love this store for their wide selection of sewing supplies and the very affordable prices.

John Reese: Well stocked. Diverse selection. Decent prices.

Marissa Henson: Disorganized and I waited in line for almost 30 minutes

Millicent Holder: They was very good to me. I bought some very nice material last time I was there. They always have very new ce material at very low prices. I always love the material I buy from them; and I love what I make out of it.

Leora Cramer: I love this place. I come here for all my fabric needs. Lady who I think runs the place is incredibly knowledgeable. I do agree with some of the negative reviews though - don't expect staff to be warm and friendly. They're nice! But just don't go in with expectations of superior customer service.

Reese Caldwell: Go-to dry cleaner in Cambridge! They are fast, reliable, and friendly.

Amanda Sullivanm: Had my wedding dress alterations done she is amazing at what she does also had my daughter dress done I can’t be more happyService:Alterations

Michael Powers: Friendly. Great service. Excellent tailors

Luke Haubenstock: Elegant Tailor did a wonderful job on a custom, wedding-related tailoring job, all on a quick emergency timeline (less than a week). Very kind people as well. Thank you for everything!

Siobhan Morris: I brought two garments here to be dry-cleaned, and both came back with dirt still on them. One of them, my favourite dress, was damaged (the buttons were chipped or broken).When I asked for a partial refund, they told me that I assumed the risk of damage to my garments when I drop them off. No refund, and a damaged dress. I do not recommend!

Michael Anand-Obleton: Best tailors ever! We were all set to wear our stylish purple suits to our son's wedding, but less than 24 hours before the ceremony, his fiancée brought my husband and me each a traditional Indian kurta Paijama dress and we wanted to impress her by wearing them to the wedding. Unfortunately, however, they were way too small for either of us to fit into: my husband's arms were too big and muscular, and my chest was too big for the garment to fit over my head. Although these tailors were extremely busy on a holiday weekend, they still decided to work overtime to make sure we looked perfect for our son's wedding. They are wonderful people who do exceptional work, and we will always come back to them anytime we're here in Boston.

Diane S.: Critical:Qualityhorrible experience with my clothes I don't recommend it

Jane Moulding: This is the very best place for dry cleaning, laundry and tailoring. I recommend it to all of my friends. It is top class.

J Daily: 한국인 사장님이 하시는 곳. 청바지 기장을 줄이려고 주말에 맡겼는데 다음 주 수요일에 찾을 수 있었습니다. 잘 수선되어 있었어요. 현금만 가능해요.

Alex Showers: Quick service. Accommodates pick up time requests. Excellent prices.

Asraf Roni: Good for alterations

Michael Els: Great dry cleaner and tailor. I've been using them for years.

Emily Scott: Very good experience. They added beautiful lace sleeves to my wedding gown, which is pretty difficult, but they did an excellent job. Very nice ladies. They gave their professional opinion of my options for covering my arms and then I picked. My mom takes her cocktail dresses there for alterations all the time and is always very happy.
