Business Overview

Our Mission Statement: To foster the love and appreciation of and participation in needle arts by making available high quality products and education; to accomplish the above while running a profitable business that contributes to the community in which it operates. The Stitch Niche, Inc. has been in business in Lexington since April, 1991. We have stayed in the Nicholasville Road area, with easy access to New Circle Road, and multiple routes in if you want to avoid the busy main roads. We started out in a 1000 square foot shop on Burt Road, and after 2 years were aching for more space. In 1993 we moved to a little shop on Surfside Drive and increased our square footage to about 1800 square feet. With the increased space we were able to offer classes in our front window sitting area, and were thrilled to have a counter where we could cut fabric for our cross stitch customers. We gathered various fixtures and shelving units together in order to display additional inventory and our increasing supply of yarns. After 3 years at the Surfside Drive location, we were again busting at the seams, and so in 1995 moved to our current location at 180 Moore Drive and a glorious 3600 square feet! We had so much space with which to work that we actually had some empty corners and ooodles of walking space between the shelving units. During our 16 years in this location, the fixtures and shelving units have greatly increased in number and the aisles have gotten much narrower. Yarn has gradually taken over more and more of our floor space as the knitting and crochet industry has experienced the most growth of the needlework categories we stock. We do though still have a substantial space dedicated to cross stitch and counted thread work, and large displays of needlepoint canvases for belts and Christmas ornaments and stockings. Teaching classes is a very important part of our business. We have two areas dedicated to classroom space, and often have a class going in both spaces at the same time -- usually teaching 6-12 different classes each week during the height of the class schedule. We teach to a variety of experience levels, with subjects related to knitting, crochet, cross stitch and needlepoint. We also offer finishing services -- specifically for ornaments, stockings, pillows, belts and key chains, sweater finishing and repairs. We also do a limited amount of custom knitting and crocheting.
