Hayes Sewing Machine Company
Wilmington, Delaware · Since 1965
Family-owned since 1965, a two-time Regional Winner in the Local Quilt Shop Contest with 2,000+ fabrics and full machine repair.
Hayes Sewing Machine Company has been the family business in Wilmington since 1965, which in shop years is long enough to have outfitted grandmothers and their granddaughters from the same bolt bins. This is the kind of shop where the same family has kept the lights on through six decades of changing fashions in fabric, and kept doing it well enough that judges noticed: it's a two-time Regional Winner in the Local Quilt Shop Contest.
You'll find over 2,000 bolts on the shelves, real depth for a shop that also keeps a full repair bench running in the back. That combination, fabric on one side and machine service on the other, is what a lot of shops promise and fewer actually deliver decade after decade.
If your machine needs a tune-up and your stash needs restocking, Hayes lets you handle both errands in one stop. It's a Wilmington fixture, not a pop-up, and if you're in the area, it's worth the drive to see a shop that's earned its longevity the old-fashioned way, one repaired machine and one bolt of fabric at a time.
