About Quilting Possibilities
Quilting Possibilities started in 1994 with Debbie vending at local quilt shows & teaching classes in her kitchen. Jim eventually tired of fabric in the basement & students in the kitchen so in 1995 he found a small store for rent. This all came about because Debbie couldn't find yellow fabric locally to put in her quilts! That lead to a whole new career for both Debbie & Jim. Since then, they've moved the store twice & are now hopefully where they are going to stay - since the staff threatened to retire if they had to move again! At 5800 square feet, QP is the largest quilt shop in NJ & we are constantly amazed that we often wish we had more room to put up "one more display"!
A great staff - retirement threats notwithstanding! - make the store a cozy, welcoming place to all levels of quilters. We strive to find the newest, neatest & greatest quilting tools & supplies to bring to our customers. QP opened with Elna sewing machines, took on Bernina a year later, Baby Lock in 2005 & HandiQuilter in 2007. We want to be a full service quilt shop & are always looking for new ways to serve our customers.
Debbie is an award winning quilter - Elna's Machine Quilting award for a quilted jacket she wishes she could stil fit into -, the designer of quilt patterns marketed under the "Easy Piecers" banner and the author of "Beginning Quilting By Machine". She has taught & lectured all over the tri-state area. Debbie started quilting in 1977 and enjoys all machine techniques, with a special love of machine applique.
Jim is an authorized technician for Baby Lock, Bernina, Elna, HandiQuilter and Janome & enjoys tinkering in his service area.
Our Mission Statement: To provide a creative haven where people can come to learn, share ideas and be inspired. To establish long term, successful relationships with our customers through the services & products we provide.
