STRATHROY — For years, 15 Centre Street West has been a destination for local makers as the home of ABQ Sewing Studio. This May, the storefront begins an exciting new chapter under a whimsical new name and a fresh face as Heather Cousins officially introduces The Wobbly Bobbin Sewing Studio.
While the sign on the door is changing, the heart of the business—a dedication to high-quality supplies, expert instruction, and a welcoming community atmosphere—remains firmly in place.
A Professional Vision Built on Decades of Experience
For new owner Heather Cousins, taking the helm of the studio is the culmination of over 25 years of sewing and quilting experience. For the past two years, Heather has successfully operated The Wobbly Bobbin as a specialized custom sewing service, building a reputation for precision and creativity. Now, she is bringing that professional expertise to a permanent home in downtown Strathroy.
“Brenda built a remarkable community here,” says Heather. “My goal is to uphold those same values of quality and service that the ABQ family has come to expect. Whether you are a master quilter or someone picking up a needle for the very first time, The Wobbly Bobbin is your creative home.”
Premium Supplies and Expert Support
The Wobbly Bobbin Sewing Studio is committed to providing the professional tools every maker needs to succeed. The shop will continue to offer:
•High-Quality Fabrics: A curated selection of premium quilting cottons and designer textiles.
•Essential Notions: A full range of professional-grade tools, threads, and stabilizers.
•Baby Lock Sewing Machines: As an authorized retailer, the studio provides sales and support for the industry-leading Baby Lock line, renowned for innovation and ease of use.
•Educational Classes: From “Introduction to Sewing” to advanced quilting techniques, the studio will host a variety of workshops designed to inspire makers of all skill levels.
“I want this to be a place where inspiration is everywhere,” Heather says. “I can’t wait to meet everyone and see what we can create together right here on Centre Street.”
