BIG NEWS:
WE ARE NOW LAURASTAR DEALERS!

We are PROUD to announce that we are dealers of the Laurastar Ironing System! Laurastar is a unique, commercial grade ironing system that irons, steams, and sanitizes. It has been certified to kill 99.9% of all bacteria, mites, fungi, and viruses, yes, even coronavirus! You can use this system to sanitize your clothes, antique quilts, or even your masks in a matter of seconds without getting them wet!

Laurastar is a quilter's/sewist's dream! With an always on feature, you never have to worry about a cool iron again, and you never have to worry about a dripping iron, either.

All Laurastar systems are guaranteed serviceable for at least 10 years. We have these systems in transit to the store and will have them available for demonstration as soon as they arrive! Call to schedule a time for a demo.
