Shirley: I have been
meaning to write you a quick note to let you know just how much
I enjoyed the two sewing classes that I recently took with
Doreen. I have taken numerous sewing/quilting classes, but must
say that the most enjoyable to date have been the last two with
Doreen. Not only were the classes stimulating, and an excellent
learning experience, but Doreen provided an awesome learning
environment. She was most patient, very explicit, obviously
knowledgeable, and demonstrated such an awareness of each of our
needs within the class - a truly admirable trait! She was able
to make each class fun, and we all looked forward to the next
lesson....in fact everyone that I spoke with was looking forward
to attending another one of her classes - that truly speaks for
itself! I am sure that all of the ladies at Ultimate provide
such experiences in their classes, but as I have only been
exposed to Doreen (so far...), and just thought I'd pass on my
thoughts/feelings to you, as I'm sure it will provide you with
important feedback, as owner of the shop. I have spoken with
numerous friends since taking her classes, and have recommended
not only Ultimate Sewing Center as a great place to receive
patient assistance, knowledgeable feedback, and friendly
support, but classes that are fun and challenging! Definitely looking forward to taking another class (and always look forward to another trip to the store.) |

| Dear Shirley, I just had to e-mail you and tell you what a great time I had at the quilting class with Sharon in February. It was so much fun I would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the great time! | ||||

| The serger class I took this year was tremendous. I learned that I can use my new Janome serger for other than doing seams with. Special techniques was a new learning curve in class, plus I enjoyed the company of other sewers. Everyone is so helpful with customers. Thank You! | ||||

| To Shirley and All the Wonderful Staff at Ultimate Sewing Centre: Just thought I would write and let you know that it is almost 2 years since I had one of the nicest experiences ever entering a store, and each and every time I enter your store I still have the same great feeling. I love my 3050 machine that I purchased that day, and also my embroidery machine (M350) a year later. Your store is awesome - the fabrics are gorgeous; everything you could ever want in the way of notions; the girls are wonderful - sew patient, sew sew knowledgeable and sew warm to the customers. I have taken many classes and have enjoyed each and every one of them and look forward to many more. Thank you so much – YOU ARE ALL ULTIMATE. | ||||

| Hi Shirley, Just a little note to Thank You so much for my lesson a week ago Tuesday. Your instructions on hooping and embroidering towels was excellent, I gained so much information....now knowing I can slip the Johnny Sewws (sp?) under the hoop has made life sew much easier and I can better utilize the Solvy on top. Thanks again. | ||||

I found Shirley's store in November 2004. The same time I got bit by the quilting bug! I was actually looking to purchase a new machine. I have to say that The Ultimate Sewing Center is my new favourite place (besides home that is.) The fabric is beautiful the thread is incredible. I feel like a little kid in a candy store!!!! Being new, I have a million questions and Shirley is always there to help. I have taken quite a few classes since January and I have to say I just love it. The teachers I have had are great and everyone is always willing to answer all questions (even the dumb ones!! LOL) I have visited quite a few quilting stores and I must say I feel most at home here. The staff are very friendly the prices are VERY reasonable and you're always made to feel welcome. I love my new obsession and I love my new favourite place. (besides home that is!!!) | |||

Any
time I have a question all I have to do is call and I get the
help I need. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed.
The sewing tips are solid gold. I love my Janome! I have been sewing for 20 years but I was baffled by my serger. I took 3 of Shirley's serger courses and wow now I can serger with confidence. The tips I received were great. The serger mystery has been solved, thanks to Shirley. |

| Thank you so much for your time and patience. Without your help I never would have achieved the results I did. I particularly enjoyed all the short cuts you showed me. My way would have taken much longer. | ||||
| June C., Barrie, Ontario: | ||||
| There are very few people like you! Without you I could not have achieved my goal with such positive results. I cannot wait to start using my Janome Memory Craft. Thank you again for all your help. | ||||
