Country Stitches in Jackson is closing. East Lansing remains open. Here are the details. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ExWCdi9GX/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Dear Friends,
This has been an incredibly difficult decision. With our lease ending in January 2027, our landlord more than doubling the rent, and ongoing challenges in hiring staff, we are facing some difficult realities. Jackie is preparing for a well-deserved retirement, and Kallie has recently gotten married and will be moving away. While we're happy for these new chapters in their lives, saying goodbye is bittersweet.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of our Country Stitches Jackson location after more than 25 wonderful years of serving this community.
Over the years, you've become so much more than customers. You've become friends. We've shared stories, helped with projects, celebrated accomplishments and made wonderful friendships and memories together.
We're grateful for the time, talent, and generous donations you've contributed to our community and charity projects. Together, we've been able to do some wonderful things for others, and we're grateful to everyone who has been part of those efforts.
Your friendship, generosity, and support have meant more than words can express, and we can't thank you enough.
We want to be very clear that our East Lansing location is NOT closing. There are no changes to the East Lansing location, and it will continue operating as usual. We look forward to welcoming our Jackson customers there and continuing to help with all your sewing and quilting needs.
Important Information for Jackson Customers

We will continue to service sewing machines at our Jackson store. If your machine is already with us, we’ll call you when it’s ready for pickup. We'll announce the final drop-off date once our closing plans are finalized.

New Owners classes will continue as scheduled. All other creative classes have been canceled at our Jackson location only.

ALL MACHINES ON SALE! New, open stock, previously loved, and one-of-a-kind machines at prices too low to advertise
We hope you'll stop by before we close. We'd love the chance to see you, visit for a bit, and thank you personally.
It's been a wonderful 25-plus years, and we're truly grateful to everyone who has been part of the Country Stitches Jackson location.
Thank you for being part of our journey and we hope to see you in the East Lansing location soon,
Ann, Brian and the Country Stitches Team
