Clients Testimonials
One of my favorite local sewing shops. Great friendly staff with lots of knowledge of sergers, embroidery and sewing machines.
Great selections of threads, patterns and the latest techniques in sewing and machines. They offer a nice selection of classes too.
I have been coming to Sandy’s since 2003, taken classes and practically live in the store. I have bought 6-needle and a 10-needle machine from them. I live on the east-side of Detroit and have never had a bad experience in getting classes, clubs, repairs and good attention from the staff. Brandy the Manager is very knowledgeable in the complete process of machine embroidery and software.
The staff is always welcome to help and friendly. So if you want great service, visit anyone of the stores and you will be welcome.
Everyone has always been helpful. The classes are very informative and well done. I have receive one on one training for the machines I have purchased.
The repair area is fast and efficient. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and instructors. Thank you
