About Us
Originally an online retailer for over two years, City's Edge opened a brick and mortar location in 2015 to better serve our local community and growing customer base. Our goal is to provide competitively priced products and a diverse selection of quilting supplies, so that customers have everything they need to expand their creativity and produce items of beauty and functionality, either for themselves or loved ones, that they can truly be proud of.Located in a refurbished, century-old home on the edge of the downtown business district of Warsaw, MO, we strive to offer the best in quality, service, and education. We continually update our products, industry knowledge, and personal quilting skills, to ensure that our customers have the most current merchandise, information, and technology to expand their creative horizons and finish their favorite projects.
Around here, we're known for our friendly, personalized service, whether we're helping customers select fabrics, teaching them new quilting techniques, or custom-cutting their patterns and kits. Our services include Edge to Edge quilting as well as binding if desired. As a JANOME sewing machine dealer we also clean/maintain and repair JANOME sewing machines. We always look forward to increasing the sewing proficiency and enjoyment of each person who walks through our doors and welcome the opportunity to guide them through their quilting journey!
