Flash Sew & Quilt: Where Sewing Runs in the Family
At Flash Sew & Quilt, sewing isn’t just a hobby — it’s a legacy stitched together by generations.
It all began in Port Jervis, New York, where Bridget’s grandmother transformed her love of sewing into a full-time career designing wedding gowns. To her, it was never just a job — it was a passion. That creative spirit carried on through her daughters and granddaughters, who spent their childhoods sewing, laughing, and learning alongside their beloved “G-Ma.” Together, they became a family of quilters, embroiderers, and garment makers — and yes, they’re still trying to convince the brothers to join in.
In 2010, Bridget and her family moved to Naples, Florida, where she quickly became a loyal customer and friend of Flash Sew & Quilt. Even after a brief move back to the Northeast, the dream of opening her own store stayed close to her heart. A return trip to Naples in 2018 — and a visit with Flash’s founder, Harold — led to a new chapter: the opportunity to purchase the business she loved.
Since then, the Flash family has grown beyond Naples to include locations in Sarasota and Jupiter, Florida, bringing our passion for sewing and community to even more makers across the state.
Today, Flash Sew & Quilt is proud to be family-owned and operated, offering the best in Baby Lock and Bernina sewing machines, premium fabrics, threads, notions, furniture, and classes for all skill levels. Each location is staffed with a warm, knowledgeable team — ready to help you find inspiration, troubleshoot your machines, or simply share in the joy of making.
We’re more than a store — we’re a place where creativity blooms, friendships are formed, and every customer is treated like family.
Our mission is simple:
To provide the best products, the best service, and a sewing experience that exceeds your expectations every single time.
