We need your help! Northern Threads is currently for sale, and we have been searching for a new owner without success. Unfortunately, Northern Threads plans to close the Fairbanks store at the end of 2025 if we cannot find a new owner. That’s why we are reaching out to you! Please help us spread the word. Perhaps you know someone who dreams of owning their own quilting store—this could be a perfect opportunity!

Contact us today, and we will help make that dream a reality! The owner, Marie Noah, wants to retire from managing the store and shift her focus solely to designing patterns and the longarm quilting service. She seeks to find a new owner who will uphold the legacy of high-quality products and exceptional customer service for which Northern Threads is renowned. 

We know how much our customers love Northern Threads and are committed to making the transition as seamless as possible. We will continue to operate the store and website as we have always done, and we hope to find a new owner by the end of the year. We aim to keep our wonderful community from losing this cherished store, and we appreciate your support during this time!

We appreciate your support and look forward to finding the perfect new owner for Northern Threads.  Inquiries can be sent to Amanda at amanda@northernthreads.biz or by calling our store at 907.931.2599 and asking for owner Marie Noah.

A little about Northern Threads:  In 1996, Marie Noah started her business, Quilting Trail, in a small 700-square-foot space in North Pole, Alaska. She offered professional quilting services and a selection of fabrics. By 2008, the shop expanded twice, added sewing machines, and changed its name to Northern Threads. Northern Threads is a one-stop shop for sewers, embroiderers, and quilters, offering a wide range of supplies to complete projects from start to finish. Our offerings range from smaller items, including adhesives and zippers, to larger equipment, such as sewing machines. We are a certified Sales and Service Center for sewing and embroidery machines, and an accredited dealer of well-known brands, including Babylock, Bernina, Consew, Janome, Pfaff, Viking, and Singer. In addition to our in-store services, we provide our complete product selection through our online store, which supports a significant virtual business, including international sales and a dedicated shipping department. This online presence, combined with our engagement on social media, enables creatives from around the world to connect with our brand and products.
