OUR SHOP

Located in Fairbanks, Alaska, Northern Threads offers a variety of classes, a large selection of fabric and supplies, covering everything from quilting, sewing, and embroidery in-store as well as online. Known for the original wilderness quilt patterns by the store’s original founder, Marie Noah. We are an authorized Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, and Singer dealer. While the company's grown from a little shop in beautiful North Pole to 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 as Quilting Trail in a compact 700 square foot space in the small town of North Pole, Alaska, providing professional quilting service and fabric. By 2008, the shop had expanded twice, and sewing machines and yarn were added to the retail mix, bringing the need to undergo 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!

OUR TEAM

We are passionate about customer service, quilting and sewing! We appreciate all the colors in the spectrum, soft fabrics, beautiful threads, and the best tools and gadgets available. 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. If we don’t have what you need, we would love to hear from you, so we can order it in!

Cindy (the mom of the duo), an avid quilter and embroiderer, enjoys working with bold colors and connecting with customers to help bring their projects to life.
Shanna (the daughter of the duo), a U.S. Navy Veteran, brings extensive technical expertise and a strong attention to detail. She specializes in machine maintenance and repair and enjoys helping customers find the right solutions for their sewing needs.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to provide Interior Alaska with high-quality fabrics, sewing machines, and notions supported by knowledgeable service and dependable expertise. Whether your project involves quilting, garment sewing, repairs, outdoor gear, or custom work, our goal is to help you achieve lasting results.
