Bear's Paw Fabrics opened their doors in April, 1996 in Towson, MD and a year and a half later, opened the second store in Ellicott City. The name was chosen by the owners Doug and Judy Munro, because of their love of animals and bear's paw is a popular quilt pattern. We are a Bernina of America dealer, displaying the latest sewing and embroidery models, software and accessories to make your sewing experience the best it can be. Please stop by to visit us at our Towson or Ellicott City locations.
