Glastonbury, Connecticut · Since 1982
A family-run New England sewing and quilt shop chain operating since 1982 with locations in Glastonbury, Orange, and Southington.
Close to Home Sewing Center has been a family-run New England business since 1982, and over more than four decades it's grown into three storefronts — Glastonbury, Orange, and Southington — rather than staying a single-location shop. That kind of expansion, done slowly over decades rather than all at once, tends to mean a business that actually knows what it's doing.
The core of the business is sewing and embroidery machines, along with the repair and service work that keeps them running, and classes for every level round out the offering. Having three Connecticut locations means most quilters in the state have one within a reasonable drive.
Forty-plus years in business is a real track record, and if your machine needs service or you're shopping for a new one, Close to Home is the kind of family operation worth trusting with it.
