OUR SHOP

Located in Fairbanks, Alaska, Northern Threads offers a variety of classes and a large selection of fabric and supplies, covering everything from quilting, sewing, and embroidery, in-store and online. Known for the original wilderness quilt patterns by the store’s original founder, Marie Noah. We are becoming an authorized Janome dealer (working to become authorized with Bernina, Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, and Singer). While the company has grown from a little shop in beautiful North Pole to a 4600 sq ft. shop and online store, Northern Threads' promise of customer satisfaction guaranteed remains most important to us. As the new owners of Northern Threads, we strive to uphold the same promise of satisfaction guaranteed that you know well.  Northern Threads is the place "Where Traditions Begin." We look forward to serving your creative needs! 



 

THE BACKSTORY


In 1996, founder Marie Noah began the business, Quilting Trail, in a compact 700-square-foot space in the small town of North Pole, Alaska, providing professional quilting services and fabric. By 2008, the shop had expanded twice, and sewing machines and yarn had been added to the retail mix, prompting a name change. At the end of 2025, Northern Threads was sold to a mother daughter duo who are continuing the same traditions while adding some new flair!

Ultimately, we like to make and use things you like to make and use!  The staff at Northern Threads is experienced and knowledgeable about selecting sewing, quilting, and embroidery supplies and accessories for your next project.
