    I'm a quilter and found this place while traveling; it is hard to find quilt stores in big cities and I was so excited to find Gather Here. Their fabric selection has a lot of quality, and seems well-curated to accommodate the size. There is also a large selection of yarn and yarn craft items. The service was helpful and warm, and if I lived here this would be my go-to shop!

    I must give a shout-out to the nice people who work at Gather Here. I called them because I have a sewing machine I haven't used in years and couldn't remember how to get the bobbin case in, thread the bobbin, put thread on,....basically anything about how to use the machine. Someone on the phone said, sure bring it in. The male owner spent a good half hour with me going over everything, not even knowing if I as going to buy anything. I did end up buying several small things, but there was no pressure to buy more. He was patient and so helpful. I can't recommend this place highly enough. the world need more people like this! Thank you

    I've been going to Gather Here since I moved to MA and I've never once had a bad experience. Now that isn't saying that they've always had what I'm looking for, but they're always willing to order or help me find it elsewhere. The people who work there are so pleasant and the environment is clean. Generally craft supply stores are stuffy but Gather Here is absolutely the opposite. The yarn and fabric is well kept and organized with plenty of space to walk and browse.
