Sooooo - all week this week (9/10 - 9/15) HHQ readers can get all batiks, notions and holiday fabric @ 15% off! Additionally, sale room items get an extra 10% off - so if they are 20%, they go to 30%, etc.
Sew Steady/Westalee Specials! For the month of September - Sew Steady/Westalee products are 10% off, in stock and special order! The Large (18"X24") and the Wish Table (22.5"X25.5") sizes ONLY will come with a free travel bag! All other tables sizes (except the Featherweight table) offer the optional Light Stick for only $1 over the price of the table (retail value $29.95), to convert your Sew Steady table into a convenient light table. If you haven't seen the Featherweight table, you need to check it out - it is gorgeous! It is black and gold, made exclusively for the black and gold Featherweight Model 221 (17.75"x22.5"). It too will get 10% off and they are throwing in a travel bag for $30, another $9 savings!
Because all tables are specific and laser cut for the machines, they must be pre-paid and are non-refundable. For this reason we ask that you put your orders in writing to info@hhqsewingcenter.com giving us machine make and model and your contact information. Orders will be placed weekly throughout September.

Other News - MACHINE RENTALS!!!
You asked for it - you are getting it! We are going to rent our trade in machines! This will save you lugging your heavy machines back and forth from the house. All requests will need to be pre-arranged by calling the shop. Rental will be $15/day regardless of part or all of the day. Right now we have 4 machines we have taken in trade that can be used for rentals. Three are 500 Series and one is a 440.
If you have friends needing machines and they want a nice machine with minimal risk, we have used ones we would love to sell. We will give a full year warranty on the machines. We will have them priced and on line in the next two weeks.
