Sewing and Fabric Store Point of Sale

Best Sewing Store POS System Top Image

The best sewing and quilt store POS systems support the needs of specialized retailers selling to people who love to sew!  Specialized sewing and fabric store retail management systems must be able to track inventory, track customer purchases and manage prices. Many sewing and quilt retailers sell items not in stock, such as sewing machines, that must be specially ordered from the vendor – so the ability to manage special orders is critical for the quilting store’s point of sale software.  In addition, many of the items sold in sewing and quilting stores, such as threads and related articles, come in a variety of sizes and colors – so support of configurable or matrix items is very important.
