Paradise Sewing

Love this store, and the sweet ladies that work here! Wow, they are so awesome. I was in the market for a new sewing machine, and after years and years of sewing on a machine that would make me yell all the time, I knew I was ready for a upgrade! I decided to check out the sewing craft fair at del mar fairgrounds, and that’s how I came across this shop. They had a awesome booth chalk full of Pfaff sewing machines! They were awesome helping me jump on a machine and let me sew in it. All three ladies were not pushy and we’re just flat out kind! I knew what I wanted and they did not try to hassle me into getting something more expensive. Today I was able to pay off my machine (I put a down payment on it at the craft fair last month). I went into the store in poway and was yet again blown away. They treated me (and my three little ones) as if I were family! They gave me a rundown on the machine and truly were so happy doing so! Seriously can’t wait to go back and learn from these highly experienced ladies! Oh and the store is awesome too. They had a crate of toys for my kids to play with… And lots of pretty fabric for crafts and quilting. I was impressed by the wide selection. The prints range from traditional prints to more modern fun prints that any young mom would love! Thank you Paradise sewing!

Took in my 5+ year old sewing machine that never could see right for me. They sat me down and went through the entire machine to troubleshoot. They checked the needle and bobbin and even gave me some pointers as to what they thought could be the issue. They ended up fixing it and didn’t charge me! Then again, it seemed like the biggest issue with my machine was user error haha. I’ll definitely be back to attend a beginners sewing class, which they hold every Friday from 5 – 9.

People who work here are friendly and helpful. I saw a quilt I loved hanging up advertising a Saturday class. I asked if I could just buy the pattern since I don’t live nearby. The saleswoman told me the pattern was available online for free. But then she went the next step and looked it up online and printed it out for me! No charge!
Wise move, since I promptly bought over $ 90 worth of fabric from their store! Yup. I’ll be coming here again, even if it is 45 minutes away!

Have asked owner, Jinny, at least 10 times over 4 months to order me a bolt of a certain fabric. I am still waiting. Unless Jinny is out of town and they are having a sale, prices can easily be beat by shopping at


or eBay. Even then, there isn’t a big selection of fabrics or accessories. Classes are usually fun, depending upon instructor, but I only buy what I have to buy from a Pfaff or Babylock dealer there, as prices are just too high, unless it is something I need right away. Most guest speaker events are also REALLY disorganized, and I am still waiting for the promised files from two events 3+ months ago. Eddie in service is fantastic at caring for machines, and most of the staff is tremendous and amazing.

Great place! Much larger than it appears from outside. Tons of thread! If you can’t find the color you want, you don’t need it!

Jinny and the other staff were so very friendly and helpful.

Love this store. Great staff, wonderful fabrics. Onsite machine repairs. Sewing. Quilting. Machine embroidery. Classes. Tons of thread. Patterns. Books. On Fridays they have FREE sit and sew hours. Bring your current project to work on or start a new one. Staff is on hand to help and answer questions.

As always, shopping at Paradise is an enjoyable experience. The staff is friendly and very helpful, the music is pleasant, and of course the fabric is absolutely lucious. I want to buy all of it!

I recently bought an old Kenmore at an estates sale. This machine runs like a top but the bobbin winder was not turning. I read the reviews here on Unilocal about Paradise Sewing and liked what I read. The reviews are all accurate and I wanted to add my own. I called and talked to Eddie the service guy. He told me to bring it in and he’d be happy to take a look. Eddie is truly a master techi. He helped me out and gave me valuable information on how to help keep my machine running. One of the things he suggested was to bring it back when I had the time for their $ 69.00 service, which is exactly what I plan to do. This is the place to take any sewing machine for repair or tune up services. i live in the mountains and every where I go is out of the way. The drive is worth it no matter where you live in San Diego county area. The store staff was very helpful as well. This place is a goldmine for anyone who sews!

Super staff & service. Most *other* sewing shops seem more like used car lots, and they only care about you as a customer if they can get a large sale from you (whether you can afford it or not); they definitely don’t want to service your machine if you did not buy from them. Not Paradise Sewing: there you are treated with a smile no matter how small your business. Because of how nice they are, it will be the only place I will consider spending the $$$ on a new machine. I can’t recommend a place more highly.
