Annette visited this shop which is Amish-owned quite a few years ago. It caters to the Amish community with a selection of polyester fabric and some quilting fabric. However, notions like zippers were really inexpensive. It has no online presence.

If you are near Shippensburg in central Pennsylvania, Martin’s is a wonderful full-service shop and they sell all types of Bernina sewing machines. Martin’s is owned by a Mennonite family and they are very friendly and give wonderful expert service. They have cleaned several of my machines, and they are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them! They don't have a web site.
