Background and History

In 1977, Howard and Connie Luedtke opened Northgate Sewing Centre in Northgate Mall, Regina, SK. Our machine service centre’s previous location was on Rose Street. With only 700 square feet of operating space, we were able to sell sergers, sewing machines, cabinets, and notions.

A decade after, we moved our store to Carling Mall to keep up with the growing business. We also included our service centre in the new location.

Another decade later, we found ourselves occupying a larger space – our current location on Albert Street. We expanded our service department by opening a quilt shop right inside the store. As a result, we rebranded our company to Northgate Sewing Centre | Peachtree Quilt Shop.

After opening with a modest inventory of 1,000 bolts of quilt fabric, it quickly grew to 6,000 bolts of fabric. We also included quilting books, patterns, and notions to our products, and offered quilting classes. The classes run 7 days a week with a 2-month break from July to August.

Today, we have a 4,800-square foot shop that includes our classroom and service centre. We are staffed by 10 dedicated, knowledgeable people who also teach quilt classes. Professional quilt instructors also help us with our busy schedule.

We take pride in having more than 40 years of experience in sewing machine sales and repair services, as well as more than 20 years of quilting experience.
