The Singer store in Davis (not sure whether they specialize in garment or quilting) and the Cambridge Quilt Store out by Fresh Pond (for quilting).

I see a lot of ads for knitting/sewing classes on Grouopon, Living Social, Amazon Local Deals, etc. You'll find out who offers these classes AND you might get a discount!

I had no idea that UHub was such a creative place. I do cross stitch and thank everyone on this thread (no pun intended) for ideas on where I can go to get help with some of my projects.

Thanks everyone!
