Eclectic Maker Reviews

Today I collected my first ever professionally quilted quilt and any quilts I make in the future will most definitely be entrusted to the lovely people at Eclectic Maker. I dropped the patchwork off a couple of weeks ago and the service I had was amazing, talking me through every aspect of the process from choosing wadding, backing, thread colour and the stitch design. I knew my quilt was in good hands 😀 Picking it up today I could not have been happier with the result, it's simply stunning. I cant stop looking at it. I opted to have the binding stitched to the front so I can finish it off by hand. Once that's done I cant wait to have my beautiful quilt in pride of place on my bed. I thoroughly recommend taking your quilt here, you won't be disappointed.

A wide range of beautiful fabrics, very nicely arranged so it's easy to find what you need. Very good prices too. A lovely shop!

A delightful small shop with a huge range of beautiful, modern fabrics and a good range of machines - but that is not all Eclectic Maker offers! I attended a class and, unlike classes I have attended elsewhere, we were not just instructed how to make our project but why things needed to be done in a particular manner, how to avoid hiccups (and cure them if they happened) and with full confidence that we were now armed with the necessary skills to make more of the same at home. Jo is an excellent teacher. I have already planned to do more classes with her.

This morning I had a 2 hour "get to know my overlocker" 1 to 1 session with Jo. Well, what a relvelation! Jo is a font of all knowledge. She is kind, patient, extremely good at explaining fabric types and how the overlocker behaves with each one. If you are someone who owns an ocerlocker but is pretty worried about trying things with it Jo is your answer! I wish I'd had a day with her, I learnt so much in 2 hours I wish I'd booked it months ago! S brilliant service thank you

Really helpful and had what I needed. Good knowledge of what they are selling.

Amazing selection of fabric. Like an Aladdin's cave. *****

Attended a getting to know your overlocker here recently. Was so impressed I bought one from them. The class was invaluable and this is the second machine I’ve bought from them. Recommendation enough?

Recently completed the overlocker course. The course was excellent and Jo was great. She was infinitely patient and I learned so much. Thank you

Fabulous free motion quilting classes with Jo. Feel so much more confident now! Would definitely recommend this class, very reasonably priced too.

Beautiful fabrics, friendly service Chippy next door where quabby can wait

Very friendly helpful staff. I needed some help with how much fabric I need to make an item, I was helped with this and so much more, with advice about thread, machine sewing Needle and stitch type, short of making the skirt for me they couldn’t have been more helpful, even chasing after me out of the shop with one more gem of advice. Thank you, I shall be back 😀

Just received my William Morris Kelmscott Fat Quarters. They arrived really quickly after my ordering, and were so beautifully folded! Would buy again from this seller.

Lovely independent sewing shop. In the window display they had several "make your own lampshade" kits. For sewing accessories, equipment and machines.

Buying a new sewing machine. Very helpful and good advice to ensure we got the correct machine. No pressure to get more expensive machine especially as it would have features wouldn't need. Great range of fabrics as well

Extremely helpful owner/ assistant. Beautiful selection of fabrics.

I have just found this wonderful fabric shop due to ordering on line during covid . The fabric is fantastic to work with beautiful quality at affordable prices. Lovely ribbons too. The service I cant fault ordering is so easy and very fast on delivery. I would recommend

Quilting stencil ordered on a Sunday and received in the post on Tuesday. Stencil well packed to avoid damage in the post. The stencil itself is good quality with instructions on direction to see. Really pleased with it and the service I received. Thank you.

So grateful to be able to select online and collect the very next day. Really pleased with my fabric for some last minute Christmas stockings. Warm welcome in the shop too. 😁

Lovely choice of fabric and welcoming and knowledgeable staff.
