Embroidery Made Easy by Baby Lock



They're here! The newest in embroidery technology has arrived. You won't believe how easy it is to get embroidery placed exactly where you want it! The new Baby Lock Altair and Meridian machines use revolutionary new IQ Intuition Positioning to wirelessly transmit a photo of what's in your hoop to the screen for perfect placement. They're also able to take clip art, a drawing or even a photo(!) and turn it into an embroidery. You just have to come see our samples to believe it.

We also have a huge range of embroidery machines, with or without sewing capabilities, in every price point.

NOW is the time to start thinking about your wish list....Baby Lock is offering the best bundles and pricing of the season!  Get great deals on every category from beginning sewing machines to sergers to embroidery machines and more. I can't say more about it just yet.... but come in store to check out the full line and to get a sneak peak at all the great holiday deals!


Pre-Loved Machines Ready to Go

We have several pre-loved sewing machines and sergers ready for a new home! We also have two Baby Lock Accolade sergers with cover and chain stitch that were used once in a class at a great open-box price. If you've been thinking about learning how to make t-shirts and leggings, these sergers have the special cover stitch, which makes a beautiful hem just like ready-to-wear. And better yet, all pre-loved and open-box machines come with FREE Machine Mastery classes so that you can get the most out of your new machine. Sewing machines come with five or six classes that you can take as many times as you like, and sergers come with two or three (depending upon if you have cover stitch or not.)

Janome Season for Saving


It's the season for saving! Do you want a "workhorse" machine with a larger throat without breaking the bank? Come check out the Janome Memory Craft 6700! Have you been thinking that a really fast, straight stitch only machine with a huge bobbin would be perfect for piecing and quilting? We have the new Janome HD9 here for you to try out! We also have Janomes in every price point, with our exclusive Machine Mastery classes included. All at great holiday sale prices!

Machine Mastery Starts Next Week

​We're starting up new sessions of our famous Machine Mastery classes next week. Classes are Mondays at 5:30pm and Tuesdays at 10am. If you have ever purchased a machine at Asheville Cotton Co., you can bring that machine to Machine Mastery as many times as you like! You will not need to bring your machine for class #1. We don't need for you to sign up, but if the weather is "iffy," or if you will be driving some distance to come to Mastery, please check out our website at www.ashevillecottonco.com before you come, just in case there is a closing announcement. Sorry, these Mastery classes are only for those who purchased machines at ACC; not available otherwise. You can check out a listing of what's covered in each class, as well as specific dates at http://www.ashevillecottonco.com/classes.htm?categoryId=4711.

Stash Bash Coming Up!

We're taking donations for our annual Stash Bash event. Our awesome customers have raised more than a thousand dollars each year for the Santa Pals organization right here in Asheville! You know that project (those projects) that you have just sitting there, waiting to be finished, that just aren't going to happen?  Well, we are going to get rid of those pesky little suckers. Bring all of your UFOs (UnFinished Objects), WOMBATs (Wastes Of Money, Batting And Time), partially finished quilt projects, finished quilt tops you'll never quilt, and even completely finished quilts to us.

We'll kick off the holiday season on Thursday, November 14, with a grand party starting at 5pm (you can arrive any time). Then, you can bid on everybody else's stash!  This will be a silent auction with pens down at 6pm. You can start bidding as soon as we get the classroom ready, which should be around 3pm. All money raised will go to Asheville's very own Santa Pal organization, which has been donating toys to children in need since 1936! This year, we do have a Baby Lock Evolution Serger and an Electronic Cutting Machine that we are raffling off. $5 per chance, or three for $10. You may purchase raffle tickets at any time. We have jars on the counter. Please see a list of helpful hints and rules here.

Please bring your "Stash Bash" donations by Saturday, November 9. Earlier than that is appreciated! And be sure to put Thursday, November 14 on your calendar. We always have so much fun!


New Classes

​We've got some great classes coming up, including a new Wrapped Cord Basket, a Quilt-As-You-Go Stocking class, and No-Sew Ornaments. These make great gift ideas! We also have classes for quilting with an embroidery machine, and using the Baby Lock Sashiko machine. Check out all the classes here.
