Two new services available at the shop:

Drop off/Pick up for Machine Repair.  
  
    Our friends at Pumpkin Patch Quilts in Lee offer Machine Repair.  In order to help our local customers, we are offering a drop off & pick up location.  You can drop off your machine at KQC.  Once it has been serviced, you will be notified when you can pick it up.  If you are looking for service, call Sue at Pumpkin Patch (413) 243-1635 for more information.

SCISSOR Sharpening.

     Not sure about you, but we have quite a few dull scissors around the shop.  Gary (my husband) has agreed to help out and is now set up to offer this service for our customers.  You can drop them off at the shop (with name & number) and when done, we'll let you know and you can pick them up.


Don’t forget…KQC is “MY HAPPY PLACE”.   Hope it’s yours too!






Have a great day,
