Most of you know about the services offered at The Joyful Quilter, but for those who are new to our store, we’ll be periodically posting some of them so that everyone knows.

From the beginning, we at The Joyful Quilter have made it a goal to create a “greener” store. We installed special energy-efficient track lighting, and we recycle all of our cardboard and bottles (and trust us, there’s a lot of cardboard!) But we also have a policy that’s of direct benefit to our customers: if you take home your purchases in your own reusable tote instead of using our plastic shopping bags, we’ll give you $1 off your purchase! Just let us know that you have your own bag to use when you come to check out.

We’re also pleased to work in cooperation with Gloversville Sewing Center to help keep your machines humming. The good folks from Gloversville pick up machines for maintenance and repair each Thursday, then return the machines the following Thursday. This can save you a lot of driving and time, so when your machine is ready for maintenance, keep The Joyful Quilter in mind! Allow us to recommend that you plan to leave your machine with us when you’re about to go out of town – it’s like sending your machine to a spa, and you won’t miss it while it’s away!
