Cote’s Will be closed Saturday the 31st all day for inventory. We also will not be answering the phones. Sorry for this inconvienince but we must close in order to be able to do this.
We will reopen February 3rd as Natalie’s Sewing & Fabric’s under new ownership. Natalie Simard and Leigh St Pierre are the new owners and are very excited to begin a new chapter offering you new classes, new product, a new look but the same great service and care. Ron will still be in the back doing all the repairs and warrantee work. You may see him poke his head out once and a while. Natalie has even talked him into teaching a class in transfering designs from your computer to your sewing machine and the many different ways to do so with tricks, shortcuts and safegaurds of what not to do.

Cote’s/Natalie’s

Natalie has a new class schedule available at the store for you to pick-up. She has put a lot of work into the new schedule and also has guide classes starting right away. We will have it available electronically very soon. Natalie will also be sending it out by our enews and you can subscribe to it by sending you full name and email address to this email newsletter@cotebrothers.com

Ron

22 Days??? You may be asking what is he talking about 22 days? It is 22 days when the new owners open for business with a new look, new inventory, new people. Febuary 3rd will be their very first day open for business and Lisa and Ron certainly hope that you support them as you have us over the years. We know we gave you a scare when we thought we were closing our doors and we sure are glad that our tradtion will be continued on.
In this tough economy they will need your full support. So come in and meet the new owners and show them your support, but more important sign up for some classes, buy some fabric, look at those new machines and take a test drive, check out the new software, and bring a friend.
Lisa and Ron will be there as well to welcome you.

Ron & Lisa

PS: Ron will still be there doing service & warrentee work as usual

We still have some store fixtures for sale that the new owners are not going to use such as a couple of small thread racks, 2 glass show cases, 2 x 2 cubes, gridwork, spinner reacks, wood magazine racks, metal magazine racks, chairs, computers, overhead projector, 8 foot projection screen, tables round and rectangular plus much more. Come in and make us an offer as it must be out of there by Feb. first to make way for their new product and displays.
Plus if you see an item on one of the tables and don’t like the price, talk to us and we will see what we can do.
