We have always been involved in the commissioning of custom quilts, beginning with tee shirt and memory quilts. Commissions are available for all quilting needs-baby to California King size, including art wall hangings find. I'm looking forward to completing many fabulous quilts together. We have received the new selection of Aboriginal Fabrics and you are sure to find something to love about them.
I must tell you that when I opened the box and pulled out my quilt and pillow, I was truly overjoyed as I looked at them. When I first contacted you and discussed what I was hoping to have done, I wasn't sure what to expect for the finished product. The colors of the fabric you sent via mail over the miles between you in California and me in Texas.
Our quilting is done on a Gammill Statler Stitcher which is a computerized long arm quilting machine. The throat size is 26", so we are able to quilt patterns up to 21" high. If the occasion arises, we can also do some hand-guided quilting. We have a wide range of patterns from edge-to-edge, to blocks and borders.
We have a wide selection of batik fabrics from Bali on our shelves so you can find just the right fabric for your projects. Take a look at the companies that we deal with and we're sure you will be able to find something special for your quilting and sewing needs sildentadal.com.

I always look forward to visiting Not Just Quiltz! This is a local, family-owned business in the historic Niles Canyon area. I am a beginning quilter, but everyone is always very helpful and willing to take the extra time when I have questions. I purchased a pair of high quality (Karen Kay Buckley) scissors here for an animal applique class--which was also really fun and informative!--and they are my favorite scissors for cutting thread or small pieces of fabric with precision. If you are looking for just the right fabric to make your sewing projects unique, they have a wonderful collection of

I’m beyond happy with the service. I brought in a very old blanket that belonged to my father-in-law that passed. I wanted to make the blanket into two pieces; a throw blanket for my husband and a baby blanket for my son. I wasn’t sure if it could be done because there was a lot of tears in the fabric, but Nancy was able to deliver! The tears were repaired and stitched up and a beautiful boarder was added. I’m so happy with the pieces, they were beautifully done.

I picked up 2 quilts at an estate sale- one in need of repair and another in need of finishing and they were both completed so beautifully...such pride in the work they do!

Went to NotJustQuiltz and purchased patterns for a Koala and a Fox for wall hangings I am going to make. NotJustQuiltz is a great shop with fabrics unlike what you can find at other shops.

As part of the Virtual Shop Hop, I ordered a beautiful set of aboriginal style fabrics. Having been to the Australian Outback, these colorful fabrics brought me back to those lovely days! The fabrics arrived within days along with tracking updates along the way. A handwritten note from the owner with my order topped it off nicely! Check them out!

I started purchasing applique patterns from Pattern Poole in Australia but they stopped shipping to the US. Luckily I was able to find a large selection of them here and ordered 3. I received them very quickly and plan to purchase more.

I have been getting my quilts done here for a few years. They are always professional and very helpful. One of my quilts was problematic (because I didn't measure my pieces well) and they helped me rip the seams and fix it in the store! They are very good with communication too.

I recently placed an online order and it came in 2 days. The packing slip even had a handwritten note from the owner. I've been to the store several times, and it has beautiful aboriginal fabrics. They have some fun notions, too, and a while back I bought a spray bottle that I use for Mary Ellen's Best Press and that bottle is the cat's meow, so they have some treasures. If you haven't ever been to this store in person, check it out. It's kind of tucked away, but it's in historic Niles Canyon, which has a ton of fun antique stores and a really nifty museum about

The line of Australia fabrics is only out done by the service. The owner called me and explained an availability problems with a couple Items on my order. (this was in late May and Cova19 ).
She spent time explaining different options and helping me decide.
The order arrived in perfect condition, with tracking and a follow up email from the shop. Thank you so much for the fast service and wonderful fabric. If you are looking for wonderful fabric and great service shop this local business.

If you're into aboriginal designs you'll love the selection here. Staff are enthusiastic about aboriginal designs and very knowledgeable. This shop took over "Color Me Quilts" inventory when they went out of business.

Lovely aboriginal fabrics, incredibly soft fabric and unique. Nice collection of batiks. Friendly and warm staff. Willy is the sweetest. I wish the classes were updated online as I'm definitely interested.

One of the best shops in the Bay. They only carry batik and aboriginal from Australia. But if that's what you're after this is the place to go. Friendly, helpful, awesome staff! Bolt prices too!

I was treated as a welcomed customer. The Australian fabric was demonstrated so well I became intrigued and purchased enough for a throw. It was a wonderfully friendly experience. I will shop them online.

The woman who worked there was extremely rude to us and asked as if she didn't even want us in her store. Don't open a store if you don't want any customer.

NJQ did a phenomenal job embellishing and embroidering a men's coat for me. They really went above and beyond to add details to make it special and they did it on a rush for me so I could wear it for New Year's. Nancy & Norm, thank you so much!

Poor customer service! I went there to look for a very special gift for a baby. The woman who came to me said their fabrics are not for infants. I could have come back with a special cloth suitable for infants so I asked for a brochure/catalogue but she said their items are expensive. Really? A merchant tells that to a customer? Who does that? They even have the nerve to put a sign on their door that they're on yelp.

Honestly, I wouldn't even give 1 star. But for the sake of having to put a star, I did.

I was looking for a couple of handkerchiefs to get embroidery done, about maybe 10 pieces. Just something simple, like initials. So I searched up something near my house and Not Just Quiltz popped up at the top. So sure! Why not! It's right by my house and considering that they have 4.5 stars it sounded like a plan to me.

I arrived there with a friend. We walked in and they just stared at us. Not even a "hello". Just looked at us went back to their work. It was raining and very windy, so

I needed some baseball hats embroidered with my name on them. I took them at first to another store at the mall and they wanted some ridiculouls price for them to be done plus a crazy set up fee.

Did a search for "embroidery" shops in the area and "Not Just QuiltZ" popped up. They are close to my work so I went there during lunch. They are located in the old town Niles which is a quiet area and sometimes forgotten. Anyways walked in and talked to Nancy and she said that they could do the project for me with no problem at all. Price was very reasonable and so was the

I brought my quilt in to be finished on Tuesday and I just got it back today, Friday. Not Just Quiltz did an awesome job with it. They were very helpful in answering my questions, and making sure it didn't cost too much as I am on a budget. They have a wide selection of basting patterns and thread colors, and work closely with you and your quilt to chose the right one. I am very satisfied with the job they did and would recommend to anyone that needs a quilt done.

Also, they offer classes, which I hope to take one day!

I had a patch embroidered with my daughter's name on it which only took
a day to complete which I am very happy about. I was not too pleased that they called right before they were closing to tell me the patch was finished. I rushed out the door to catch them, otherwise I would have had to wait another day. No big deal.

I was referred to come here by a friend who got the same patch done. However, I got charged more and my daughter has fewer letters in her name and the size of the lettering's compared the same. I was displeased with this as well. I could have disputed the price, but

I would absolutely recommend this place to have your quilts done here.
They did an amazing job on the one I took in. They were so helpful in helping
me with every aspect of putting it all together. They truly have an eye for what they do. I will definately take my quils here again. Love it!
