Meissner Sewing & Crafting Subscription Box

What's in the box: The site does not say what a box contains, so check with the store before ordering.

Meissner Sewing & Vacuum is a family owned and operated retailer, in business since 1930. It sells sewing, quilting, embroidery and serger machines, along with sewing furniture, notions, supplies and vacuums. It carries well known brands such as Bernina, Baby Lock, Brother and Janome. It also runs classes and events, sells used machines and offers a personal shopper service. If you're looking for a subscription box, though, the site's main pages don't describe one. You won't find a clear box product, a delivery schedule, a list of plans or any description of what a shipment would include. If a crafting subscription does exist, it isn't easy to find, so contact the store to confirm it's available and how it works before you sign up. As a sewing shop, Meissner looks established and well stocked, and it runs regular machine sales. That track record would count for something if it offered a box, since a store with this range of notions and supplies could put together a useful assortment. Until the details are spelled out, it's hard to recommend Meissner as a subscription service. Treat it as a reliable place to buy machines and supplies, and ask questions before you commit to any recurring order.
