Welcome

Established in 1996, Fran’s Sewing Circle is not just a store, it is a creative sewing center. With our wide array of classes and helpful staff, we offer inspiration and skills to grow anyone’s sewing and quilting interests.

We carry quality Husqvarna Viking sewing machines to meet the needs of sewers at any level. We have a large selection of cotton fabrics for quilting and crafts, as well as carefully selected clothing fabrics. Add to this software, notions, books and more and you have Wilmington’s most complete independent sewing center.  We hope your shopping here is as pleasant as a day at the beach!

For 14 years, we have been Wilmington's Premier Husqvarna Viking dealer.  We continue to offer and support the full Husqvarna Viking line of quality sewing machines and sergers.  To compliment that line of machines, we are now offering and supporting Brother Sewing machines. We are excited about this addition and how it will enhance what we are already doing and help us better meet the needs of all of our customers.

So come on in and see the newest member of Fran's Sewing Circle
