Always in Stitches opened in 2007 because owner Lyneen Burrow wanted to create a safe place for makers to socialize. In the past few years we have become a destination shop where you will receive a warm welcome, share some giggles, a hug and a cup of coffee for everyone who walks through our doors.

Our goal is to encourage people to start, continue or return to needle crafting through top-quality products. With a focus on education and advice, we do our best to keep crafts affordable to all. We have been blessed to have the shop grow to over 9,000 square feet since opening. In addition to our large selection of yarn, fabric, notions, cross stitch, and wool, we have two on-site repair technicians to service machines. We offer longarm quilting services, machine training, Handi Quilter and Janome Machine sales.  As we have grown, our class offerings have expanded also. While making sure to keep an emphasis on beginning level classes, many of the classes still hold value for more advanced quilters, knitters, crochet enthusiasts, cross stitchers and the occasional specialty craft.

We have a large online shop with access to our over 25,000 products and shipping all over the world. Our social media presence through a private Facebook group, Instagram, Pinterest and YOUTUBE brings crafters together from all over the world.  There are currently over 400 videos on our YouTube Channel featuring classes on everything stitchy and more are being added everyday.

Several ways our customers have been encouraged to make a difference is through donations to our many local charities. We've collected hat and glove sets, knitted knockers, Project Linus blankets, Ryan's case for smile pillowcases, surgery heart pillows and chemo caps for the local Women's Center. We have customers who continue to bring knit baby hats for preemies, and scarves for Knit Your Bit, which go to our local VFW. We have a monthly food item we collect for our local Food Bank that supports the food pantries in our local community. 

 “Knowing we might help one person have a better day or teach someone how to use a needle to create a family heirloom is what keeps all of us going,” Lyneen said. “I just want customers to feel a little better when they leave than when they walked in our doors.”  With 25 employees ready to care for our customers, we share a multitude of styles, techniques and knowledge. We love what we do and we love sharing it with the community of makers.  Stop in today or shop us online at www.alwaysinstitches1.com.
