I do believe that they play favorites to their longtime customers. It is slightly awkward. The store is huge and well lit. I have taken plenty of classes and have never had the teacher try to sell me anything. I have bought 2 sewing machines here and found that the intro classes are very helpful for learning your machine. I disagree with other yelpers that this is just a quilting store. They have a great condensed selection of cute patterns for bags/purses/kid clothes/aprons. Also, there are tons of notions upstairs. If you need help upstairs there is a doorbell that you can push and someone will come upstairs and help.
