On 4/8/2026 Denise Nebel had this to say:
What a fun place! More beautiful fabric than you can imagine, in every color. The workers were fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. Easily found what I needed.

On 11/8/2025 Kristine Haskell had this to say:
Loved the ideas and the variety. The ladies in here felt like they were so happy to help me. I'm coming back for sure!

On 12/18/2024 Cameron Ross had this to say:
I have been forced to go to many a quilt store as a kid with my mom and none have been as excellent as Stitch 'N Sew. The kind service, prices, and selection are top notch. I understand why my mom and her sisters love this store because I love it too, and I'm not a quilter.

On 8/12/2024 Sharon Keating had this to say:
Natalie is a gem! Had so much fun picking out fabrics and talking to her about kids and life. Love this store and how kind and helpful the staff are. Best kept secret in Iowa!

On 9/27/2023 Ann Kauffman had this to say:
