They have great staff who are helpful and very nice. Lots of notions. Fabrics are expensive (but that's expected) and this place is definitely geared towards the quilter rather than apparel sewers.

For the most part, Eddie's Quilting Bee is a decent place. I bought my sewing machines from them and have taken several of their classes. Their classes are very helpful and I have grown in my sewing. They have really neat fabric selection and the sales people are very knowledgeable. Most of the staff are nice, especially Britney, Karen and Michelle. However, there are a few that need an attitude adjustment. I had one sewing instructor for a machine intro class be just down right rude. She would make short and snotty comments... read more

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 ... read more

If your elderly aunt comes to visit the Peninsula, she doesn't want to see no Google or Computer History Museum. She wants to go to a fabric store that has four different crustacean-themed fabrics to make her fancy crabcake festival quilt. If you dream of serging and quilting, this is the place for you.

I was surprised to see some of the low reviews. I'm an avid quilter and I go here a lot. They have a lot of good selection and the quality of their fabric is higher than what you would find at a Joanns. I think a lot of people who don't have experience with sewing/quilting sometimes have the impression they can just do a project. Really it is a skill and you can't just jump in to the deep end. I would just say that if you are new to quilting/sewing maybe start with one of the classes.

Pretty small but the selection did have some items I haven't seen in other places. Very friendly sales associates that were eager to help without being over bearing. But the prices were insane!! Won't be going here too often on that alone because I can make due at other similar stores in the area.

Got my sewing machine here 2 years ago and that was my first introduction to this place. The service has been fine for me whenever I've gone. My biggest problem is choosing fabric! Once I go in there I get so overwhelmed by the choices I don't know what to do! This makes it is easy to spend $100 without thinking. I've pretty much learned to make my money go further there by getting a few yards of standout fabric and adding it to plain and cheap fabric and notions at one of those big box fabric stores (where I can use a coupo... read more

A girlfriend who is an amazing quilter turned me onto Eddie's - they have incredible fabric selection and sewing machines. It's like a mini-community - people buy their equipment and fabric, have lots of classes and professional support. A good place - prices to be expected with higher quality fabrics.
