We are closed.

 
The day has come to say farewell.  In 1988 my mom, Linda Sisto, sent me to college, and a few months later open up a sewing machine store.  It was always her dream of owning a shop, and with the help of her soon to be fabulous repairman husband, Ron Sisto they were off on a creative adventure.

Our family has made incredible friendships over the last twenty-four years.  I want to thank you for your words of support over the last month.  Liquidating our store was much like dealing with the death of a loved one.  Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.  We are happy to let everyone know that we are in acceptance.  Our dreams for post-store activities are now a reality.  Sewing projects, remodeling homes, and fishing on a boat that has never made it to a lake is in our future this summer.
So many of you have been asking questions regarding the future of thier sewing machine warrantees and BERNINA Owners Class.
 
"THREE YEARS FREE SERVICE"
If you have a new machine that has 3 YEARS FREE service on your sales slip.  Dad will honor the free service until the expiration date that will be on your sales slip. 
 
Please bring your machine and SALES SLIP to:

(Dad will also pick up normal machine repairs at that location.  His turn around will be two-three weeks.)
 
 
If your BERNINA is broken and under warrantee. 
Curtis from Stitch N Time will be honoring all machine warrantees.  You will have to pay for his labor, but he will process the necessary paperwork to get your parts replaced for free under your warrantee.  Curtis is an authorized BERNINA dealer and has worked with my father for several years.  It is OK to take your baby there ;0)

BERNINA Guide Classes (My BERNINA class or Owners Class)
We are super excited to announce that Stitch N Time will offer your BERNINA classes free of charge to you.  Please let them know when signing up that you purchased your machine at Sisto's and they will take AWESOME care of you.  Check out the website/newsletter for their schedule.  BTW they have classes on the calendar for JUNE!
 
ALSO  Susan Anderson will be teaching quilt classes at Stitch N Time in the near future.  In the fall she will start the spectacular Block of The Month Coxcomb Medallion quilt.  It was the quilt that she has been putting together in our store over the last few months. 
 
We encourage you to build a relationship with Curtis and Krista at Stitch N Time.  I have met with them personally, and they are very able and eager to help with the transition.  Even though dad is planning on continuing with repairs, he will not be able to repair forever.  Curtis and Krista are a young couple.  They are early in their creative adventure.  Sort of like my parents when they started twenty four years ago.  Please support them with your business.  It is very difficult to be a small business sewing machine shop owner.  Big business has a way of interfering with the success of small businesses.  Remember, if you want the luxury of walking into a mom and pop shop...then you need to spend your money there.
 
Thank you for helping us liquidate our store in the 30 days that we were allotted.
 
Take care and stay creative,

~Nichole Sisto Johnson
