Quilt Market Week!
This is the week that shopkeepers go off to Quilt Market to select products to offer their customers. It is hours of walking the aisles looking at the samples and put ups of designs and patterns, tools and gadgets that make quilting more fun. We have to choose fabric lines and designs hoping to please the customers back home by offering them the best of the crop available. We all see the same things; it's the choices we make in combination that make the difference in quilt shops. We think that H&C and VSQ are the best of the crop! Sara and Bobby from H&C and Cathy from VSQ will spend time this week in Portland, OR shopping for our customers.
SPECIAL FEATURES THIS WEEK
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week the feature is special pricing on the computer software from Husqvarna Viking called 4D Embroidery System. There are quite a few summer classes featuring these programs. Discounts of up to 50% are being offered. We are also offering discounts for customers who want to upgrade from 3D. Come in to find out what savings are available for the program you wish to have to compliment your embroidery machine. Remember if you have any 3D software you have only until the end of 2008 to redeem your upgrade discount.
An additional note on this subject is that persons who are planning to take Cheryl's cross stitch classes need to commit to the software purchase necessary for those classes by Wednesday, May 14, at noon so that we can be sure to have the proper software in place for the class. Please contact the shop before Wednesday at noon because the order will be placed with H-V at that time. As an added incentive, the first four persons to purchase Embroidery Extra will receive FREE membership in SOS software support from H-V. That is a $129 value!
While the Cat is Away -- Yes, while Cathy is away to Quilt Market and a visit with her sister in Portland, the mice At Viking Sew 'n Quilt will be busy playing. Join in the mischief and draw for a discount. You decide what regular priced items to buy with the discount mouse you draw. The mouse discount does not apply to sewing machines, software and cabinets. The sewing machines and software will also have their own specials. This feature expires on Saturday, May 17th.
Sewing Machine and Software Specials
The pricing and packages on sewing machines and software has never been better. Just look at the deals:
- Have you checked out the closeout pricing on several of the machines from Viking. At VSQ we have some closeout pricing on the Platinum 775, Scandinavia 100, 300, and 400's. Stop on in and test-drive a machine while our supplies last.
- Don't forget the Designer SE Limited Edition has 36 month no interest financing available along with a $1000 Viking Shopping Spree.
- Add 4D software to your machine purchase with the package pricing and you can be embroidering before you know it.
Now is the time to look!
Viking's New "P.102" Machine on Web Site
Have you visited Husqvarna Viking's web site lately? If you go there now you can find hints of what the new "Project 102" top-of-the-line sewing and embroidery machine is like. If you pay attention you can figure out what is likely the name of this "project" and there is beginning to be a litany of features revealed in the periodic teasers. It is sort of fun to see the unveiling in small increments!
