Our Studio is located on the outskirts of the historic stannary town of Tavistock and on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park.

We host tuition, retreats tailored to you, longarm tuition, and hire as well as Group Visits and Events.

"What our customers say"

I just wanted to say how glad I am that I chose Quilt Direct to buy my Bernina 570QEE from.

I was unsure about this to start with, as Quilt Direct is so far from me. I needn’t have been concerned, as when I had problems with my machine Quilt Direct arranged for it to be collected and returned to me.

I have spoken to them on the phone and Katherine even video called me when I needed help, they are all so friendly and helpful.

It was also a good excuse to have a holiday in Devon so I could have the training that came with the machine!

I would highly recommend Quilt Direct.

I have been a customer of Quilt Direct since February 2017 and have always received excellent service.

They provided insightful and expert advice, both in person and over the phone, with regard to the operation of the machine I purchased.

I have used their customer support extensively for advice on particular aspects of any project I was undertaking and their contributions were always given willingly and provided valuable tips and tricks.

The technical support is also of the same high standard, both over the phone and when the machine goes in for servicing.

I cannot recommend this company highly enough and feel very confident that there is nothing they can’t help with or solve with cheeriness and efficiency.

I am so pleased with all that you have taught me… it’s been so enabling and confidence building.

Katherine, Graham and team are always so welcoming, my fun retreat with lovely people.

Quilt Direct means a dedicated team of helpful, friendly, expert and patient people who ensure every customer has the best experience and total satisfaction.

I’ve been a customer for more than a decade, happily progressing in knowledge, scope and confidence with their gentle encouragement, skill and enabling guidance.

For many of us, sewing and quilting provide an important and continuing joy in our lives. We need this technical service and machine provision with full reliable maintenance backup. Quilt Direct ensures it’s always professional, appropriate, informed, varied and FUN.

Call our friendly, helpful team for expert advice on tools and techniques for any of your sewing, quilting and embroidery projects, to find out more about our classes, to book a demonstration, or to place an order.
