Archived project. Glory Bee’s Sewing Center has closed and their website is no longer online. This page is kept as a record of the work we built for them.
Glory Bee’s Sewing Center was a sewing, quilting and embroidery retailer in Fallston, Maryland. They carried machines and cabinets from Brother, Elna, Janome, Horn of America and Koala, taught classes at every skill level from first-timer to long-time quilter, and ran longarm quilting out of their own studio.
In their own words, their mission was “to support our customers by providing them with professional products, quality tools, and the education to enjoy and develop their creativity through sewing.”
KJONGSys built and maintained their website. It had to be four things at once: a shop, a class schedule, a services brochure and a reference library, and it had to work just as well on a phone in the store as on a desktop at home.
The storefront
The home page carried whatever mattered that week: current promotions, newly arrived stock, free consultations and private lessons, with the sale items pulled straight from live inventory rather than updated by hand.
A full online shop
Hundreds of machines, feet, cabinets, notions and fabric, organised so a customer could find one presser foot without wading through the whole catalogue. Sale pricing, stock status and a wishlist that worked without forcing anyone to create an account.
Comparing machines side by side
A sewing machine is a considered purchase, and the specifications that matter are hard to hold in your head across a dozen browser tabs. We built a comparison tool that put every model they carried into one chart: price, stitch count, screen, and embroidery field. It answered the question customers actually walked in with.
Classes and registration
Classes were a large part of the business, so the site handled the schedule, the registration and the policies, including complimentary classes for customers who bought their machine from Glory Bee’s.
Longarm quilting services
The longarm studio needed a different kind of page: less catalogue, more reassurance. It introduced Gloria, their longarm quilter, and walked a customer through exactly how it worked, from bringing in a finished top to collecting the quilt.
Writing and community
A blog kept the shop present between visits, covering techniques, new arrivals and what was happening in the store.
Glory Bee’s Sewing Center closed in 2026. We were glad to work with them, and we are glad this record of it exists.
