| Related Products: | Linen, doctor's flannel, Australian Woolen Blanketing and an amazing array of every thread imaginable |
| Mini Review: | Basically I've given this a lower rating than 5 only because it's really a shop geared to x-stitch and needlepoint. However, it is my shop of choice since I mix sre w/thread embroidery in my crazy quilting. And I must drive about 50 miles to spend my money there! The staff is extremely helpful and very interested in what you're doing with their products. My dh thinks I'm trying to duplicate their inventory here at home! You can spend hours in this place and lots of $$$ too. It's a must for any visit to the S.F. Bay Area. |

| Mini Review: | This would be a great store if customer relations were important to them. They do not offer help, wait on you at the counter, know prices, never have sales on ribbon and charge top price. Their book selection is wonderful and on computer so can tell you if they have book in stock. Easy access and parking.. |

The business, founded by Voirrey Branthwaite in 1983 in a small crypt within the Hall, moved four years later into what had been the original wain house and stables. In 1990, Lord Leverhulme opened a further extension into the old grain mill" The Centre lies in the rural heart of the Wirral peninsula, midway between Chester and Liverpool. From the M53, join A5137 (Heswall) at Junction 4.The Centre is one mile down this road. Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (to 8p.m. on the first Thursday of the month), Sundays 1-5 p.m. |

Owned by Orthodox Jews so closes early on Friday thru Monday. Manager is quite pleasant, staff can be less than helpful and prone to attitude. |

They also carry some of the Aussie magazines and teddy bear making supplies and I don't yet know what all else because I have not been back yet to take a better look. I will soon!!! |

| Mini Review: | There are several LMS in Ontario, I am only familiar with the outlet in Brantford. SR colours are somewhat limited but usually can find 2-3 shades of purple, 2-3 shades of green, etc. Staff is friendly, but it is assumed that you are there to dig around for bargains. There is usually a wait to have fabric, ribbon cut especially on Saturday. Some of the ribbon has, in the past, looked a bit shop worn (colours faded). Hours: Mon-Wed 10-5, Thurs-Fri 10-9, Sat-Sun 10-5 |
