Our
Mission:
In our sewing machine department,
you may choose to start with a good quality basic machine, a "direct
link to your PC" machine or anywhere in between. No matter
what you purchase, you become a preferred customer and are entitled
to all the perks and special offers available at Audrey's. All your
lessons are free for the life of the machine. Our goal is to help
every sewer outgrow their present machine.
Our staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Don't miss our "technology
for all brands" area featuring software systems and designs
Our Floor Care area is designed
to let you compare and "try before you buy." Our emphasis
is on quality products and service. Try us for parts, bags and belts.
We also carry accessories for vacuums; filters,
hepa filters, shampoo, detergent, and many other floor care related
products.

Classes and Lessons
We offer lots of classes and lessons....
Register early as classes fill up quickly! All classes are held
in the classroom located in our store. To sign up for class, you
must pay for that specific class in order to reserve your space.
If you wish to call to sign up, you must give us a credit card number
and expiration date to which we will immediately charge the applicable
class fees in order to reserve your space. If you wish to send us
a check to sign up for a class, your space will be reserved ONLY
when we receive the check. Otherwise, you must come into the store
to pay for a class and reserve your space.We try to anticipate how
long it will take to do projects and schedule them accordingly.
However, everyone works at a different rate and some people may
finish more quickly while others may not finish their project as
anticipated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supplies and Kit Fees
Supplies are needed for almost all classes. The class fee covers
instruction only. We will give you a supply list with your receipt
for each class you pay for. If you are mailing your money in for
a class, please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope for us to
send back a supply list. We require that you would purchase the
supplies from us. Almost all supplies required for our classes are
available for purchase in our shop. Some classes have a supply kit.
Please ask the price of these kits since they are not included in
the instruction fee. Many shops require that you purchase your supplies
and equipment from them when you take a class. Often we run classes
where the class fees are not sufficient to pay the instructor and
we count on the supply sales to pay part of the instructor’s
cost. Consequently, we ask that if you are going to purchase supplies
and equipment for your class, you buy them from Audrey’s. Thank
you for your cooperation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Machine Lesson Deposits
As the free machine lessons are filled on a first-come, first-served
basis, we require a $5 deposit to secure your seat. This deposit
will be refunded to you, in it’s entirety, after you have taken
your lesson—simply bring your paper work given to you in the
lesson to the register to be applied to merchandise purchased in
our store OR you may receive a store credit for the deposit amount
OR you may receive a refund of your deposit. If you cancel your
lesson, reschedule or don't show up the $5 deposit is non refundable.
Thank your for coming to your lessons!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration Policy
We need a minimum of 4-5 students to hold a lesson,class minimums
vary. Payment must be made in advance to hold your place and insure
the minimum enrollment. Refunds are given ONLY if class is canceled.
Supply lists are given when you register. We reserve the right to
change instructors when necessary. All classes will be held in our
classroom, located in the store. Please do not bring children to
class—classes are for adults ONLY unless otherwise specified.
Please call AT LEAST one week in advance to confirm class is running.
Audreys
Sew & Vac History:
Back at the end of
World War II, Arthur Pinard (Audrey's father) was looking for a
job and answered an ad run by the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
They were looking for men to sell and service Singer Sewing Machines.
Arthur met Evelyn at a lodge
in Connecticut. She was vacationing with her family and he was working
there. Soon after they fell in love and married. She was from the
New York City area, and after they married they settled there, and
he started his life long career in the sewing machine business.
Eventually they returned to New Hampshire, and he started his own
business. He was one of the first dealers in New England to carry
the Viking Sewing Machine. Over the years he pretty much carried
all the brands at one time or another and continued to enjoy the
business and the many people he met during his lifetime.
They have both passed away, but two of their three children, Audrey
Gordon and Rob Pinard continue in the business that their father
loved.
We celebrate that Arthur inspired his daughter Audrey to pursue,
and love also, a career in the sewing machine business.
Audrey opened her first store in Keene, NH
Burlington, VT
Hampstead, NH
Salem, NH
