If you're interested in learning more about embroidery or want to sharpen your skills, this book is a fantastic resource.

The book contains 21 projects with detailed instructions to help you create beautiful designs. With 250 pages of designs and instructions, you'll have everything you need to get started on your embroidery journey. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced embroiderer, there's something for everyone in this book.

Every time you use your machine, and let's face it... we buy machines to use them, fabric and thread particles are left behind. The more you use your machine, the more likely there will be a build-up, which will eventually cause your machine to not function at its full potential.

A regular cleaning & service appointment at Flash will keep your machine working the way it was intended.

We have negotiated a Corporate Discount for

FLASH Sew & Quilt

out-of-town customers with summer rates as follows: 

Rooms are May 1st - December 31st rates are $89.00
