Debbie Hillestad
Owner, Stitch Therapy
Debbie Hillestad purchased Kid’s Kloset in January 1993 after the original owner passed away. For the first three years, the business operated from her home until moving to a retail space in March 1996. In June 2018, Stitch Therapy found its current home in Auburn, AL.
Originally focused on smocking and heirloom sewing, the shop began offering Husqvarna Viking sewing and embroidery machines in 1997, and expanded again in 2017 to include Baby Lock machines. With these exciting changes came a new name—Stitch Therapy—in July 2014.
Today, Stitch Therapy offers a growing selection of quilting supplies, classes in smocking, embroidery, heirloom sewing, and quilting. Our in-house service department ensures fast and reliable sewing machine repair, without the hassle of outsourcing.
We proudly serve our community as “The Shop with the Personal Touch.”
