The Electric Quilt Company is so grateful for its retailers. We love that customers can pick up their favorite EQ products, or take EQ classes at their local quilt shop.
We reached out to stores all over the world to find out what they love about selling EQ products and promised to feature our favorite responses! After getting so many great replies, we decided to blog about several EQ Retailers:
Little Quilts – Marietta, GA
“We have been in business for 16 years and have been selling and teaching about Electric Quilt for all those years. We carry a lot of Electric Quilt products. Love your Printable fabric sheets and they are the only ones that we recommend to our customers. We do our own block of the month programs and use EQ7 and Blockbase for choosing and writing these patterns. We have done a block of the month program every year that we have been in business, starting with the earlier versions of Electric Quilt. We offer classes on the EQ6 and the EQ7 program such as beginner classes and the more advanced classes. One of our employees was a beta tester for the EQ7 before its release. Several of our employees know the EQ7 program and use it to design their own quilts. It would be hard for us to get by without Electric Quilt.”
- Owner, Mary Ellen Von Holt and EQ Teacher, Wanda Hizer
Sewing Machines Etcetera – Burlington, Ontario
“We love EQ products because our store likes to encourage all of our quilting customers to take their quilting to another level. EQ7 allows them to create their own quilts and put their imagination to work. We have found that our staff as well as our customers can quickly become addicted! When a customer purchases the EQ7 program we offer instructional classes so they can get started on this wonderful journey.
When doing an EQ7 demo at a recent quilt show we were surprised at the number of quilters who hadn’t heard about this program. We were only too happy to show them what they were missing!”
- Owners, Nick and Erika Kottelenberg
Honorable Mentions:
A Stitch in Time – Franklin, North Carolina

Courtepointe Claire Inc. – Laval Quebec, Canada
Sager Creek Quilts – Siloam Springs, Arkansas

I’m very fortunate to live near Little Quilts. I’ve been shopping there since it first opened. Wanda Hizer is a great EQ instructor. Mary Ellen the owner is always helpful for whatever quilt needs I have.

This is terrific – thank you, @Christine, for sharing the retailers! They are so important to industry, and to us consumers. What would we do without them? The options would not be so good, as it would probably mean going places other than here. I believe The Electric Quilt Company is doing a great service to the industry, by highlighting such an important sector.
Thanks again!

I just wanted to let you know that Sager Creek Quilts is in Arkansas, not Arizona.

Thanks for pointing that out Tina. I corrected it.
