Services
Don and Sue Shrader opened Creative Sewing Machines 1983 in Tazewell, VA and in 1997 we moved our store to Mt. Airy, NC. The first BERNINA sewing machine we sold was the original 830 (it is hard to beat the best) and we progressed and sold all of BERNINA's offerings through the years. When the BERNINA embroidery software was introduced we began teaching our customers the joys of creating their own embroidery designs.
Sue Shrader has written guidebooks for the BERNINA Embroidery Software since Version 3. We offer guidebooks on Version 5, 6, 7, and 8 currently. People all around the world have appreciated her ability to simplify this complex program and make it easy-to-use. These guides are perfect for beginners through advanced users and for classroom training guides.
Brother Luminaire/Dream/Stellaire Machine Club Each monthly session will offer you a new experience with your Brother machine. We will alternate months between sewing and embroidery. There are so many possibilities in both sewing, design center and embroidery, as well as quilting that we can't help but have fun experimenting each session.

Very knowledgeable, helpful, and FRIENDLY people. They have machines for beginners wanting to "really get into it" to experts, who demand high quality machines.
During non-Covid times they had classes in their store, on Main Street in Mt. Airey.
They may be doing virtual classes now.
They carry fabric, zippers, pillow foam, quilting material, etc.
They don't seem to mind spending the time to get you pointed in the right direction or get you what you need.
