A Nimble Thimble
Are you passionate about quilting? Sewing or rug hooking in Texas? You are our people. We know the pleasure, contentment, and sense of joy you feel when you create. We've been a quilter's go-to source for quilt supplies, rug hooking supplies, and BERNINA Sewing Machines for longer than most can remember.

We offer a vast selection of cotton fabrics in a wide range of prints, solids, batiks, reproductions, and special backing kits. A Nimble Thimble carefully curates its collection of quilt kits, patterns, tools, floss, thread, and notions. Everything a fabric creator could wish for can be found in Tyler at A Nimble Thimble.
Services
Every BERNINA model we provide demonstrates why Swiss sewing machines enjoy an outstanding reputation worldwide. Tradition and precision wrapped in aesthetic perfection. A host of features for premium-quality sewing, embroidering, and quilting - that's what the name BERNINA stands for. A modern sewing machine must perform many tasks and be adaptable to the individual needs of its users.
Just as a car needs to be serviced and maintained regularly before problems arise, your BERNINA is a finely-built machine that requires regular preventative maintenance and attention. We recommend bringing your BERNINA sewing machine in at least once a year. If you are an avid sewer, we recommend servicing your machine more often, depending on usage.
A number of service calls for sewing and embroidery machines are strictly due to worn out needles. BERNINA recommends that you change your needle after every 4 - 6 hours of stitching. Here at A Nimble Thimble, we do not recommend titanium needles, although BERNINA may disagree. They do not snap off and can cause a lot of damage in your hook area or needle bar (Katie's opinion).

These are the Bernina experts in Texas. They have more custom dyed wool and quilting notions than anywhere. The customer service from the owner was thoughtful and kind. I would recommend A Nimble Thimble to anyone in Texas that is looking for Bernina sewing machines or Bernina sewing machine repairs.

By far my favorite local fabric shop! These ladies are so nice and I love their selection of fabric. They always have pretty seasonal patterns as well as amazing basics. Definitely makes finding new styles for my Etsy shop easy.

I walked into this store about 4 or 5 years ago. They are the most friendly helpful people, so much that I remembered them and when I needed a specific thread I drove 5 hours to get more thread. Too bad they were closed, however they are finding a way to get me the thread.

After reading this review, please read the additional reviews and consider what people are saying about the owner's lack of business ethics.
Thank you
This business is an abundantly stocked crafter's spending opportunity. Items stocked in this store are overpriced so I shop online. Their website should offer information about current sales. They should have more sales on their stocked items. They offer to order what you need but then you could order it yourself and save on the cost of the items and save travel expense.
Be cautious about signing up for classes or activities. The store owner has

Stopped in here today - the owner was working as other staff were in class. It was a great experience - she was very, very helpful. I know they have a couple of other gals these days who are extremely nice as well, so if you've ever had a questionable experience, give it another shot. Their fabric selection is outstanding!

A Nimble Thimble is my favorite local quilting store. The employees are great, very friendly and they will let you browse as much as you like but are also very helpful when you are looking for something. The owner is very professional and nice. She is always willing to order special items for me if she can get them and then will hold them for me until I get there to pick them up. I love A Nimble Thimble. It's my happy place.
