Dear Treadle customers,
Each day brings us news of the coronavirus reaching further into
our lives. As we move into uncertain times, Treadle will remain open regular
hours, keeping things normal as long as we are able.
We are following current best practices: washing hands often and
wiping down frequently touched surfaces - frequently (door handles, cutting
counters, scissors, keypads, and more). Employees who do not feel well stay
home.
Classes will be modified to accommodate social distancing. As
classes are limited to 6 students or less, we are able to do this using both
our classroom and Sew Together Space. Classes that are not able to be split
will be postponed. If you are registered for a class in the next 2 weeks, you
will be contacted regarding the status of that class.
We have seen many of you in the past few days as you plan for
some down time. We hope to continue to share project ideas, new fabrics as they
arrive, and the joy of success at a completed garment. We love doing that in
person and being there for our customers. Treadle has always been a wonderful
community of creative sewists.
Yet if you are no longer comfortable coming in, we will be happy
to supply your fabric and creative needs in several ways. For inspiration,
continue to check Facebook, Instagram, and our website/blog for new fabrics and
projects. For purchases, we are happy to ship (as always) or we can supply
curb-side pick-up.
I like to think that Treadle will always be here as a resource
for our customers, many of whom we call friends. Right now, for the good of our
community, doing business responsibly takes precedence. I also recognize that
there may be small businesses that do not survive this. These are your
neighbors and friends. For all of us, be kind.
Michele
