The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I came looking for fabric to add sleeves to my three sleeveless gowns. I am so impressed with the young lady that helped me. She found and matched fabrics...

Editorial review from Citysearch

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. I went on my lunch hour, thinking that I would get exactly what I wanted in a little bit of time. I could not have been more wrong. When I walked in there were three salespeople (one man and two women), and they were all talking to one customer. I stood patiently waiting to be waited on. And I waited and I waited. Finally after about 2-3 minutes, I walked over to the one woman who was not behind the cutting counter. I asked her about faux fur fabric. All of the faux fur was on the top shelf closest to the ceiling, and she was more than taken aback...

A few years back I stumbled upon this place and I've been hooked ever since. It's not always consistent in terms of stock, but I inevitably find something cool everytime I go. The staff knows sewing and is fantastic about helping customers come up with ideas and work-arounds.

If I was a white person, I will give this shop 5 stars

I've been there few times, the shops is nice and the fabric is affordable.

There are 2 people works there, one of them asked me for my ID, which I've never saw her do it to other people. I was of course very offended. If you are white, you will recommend this, but I'm not and only reason I go there is just not too many shops carry so many fabrics, notions.

P.S. One other person is very nice, I will try go to her from now on..

Pros

+ fabrics are affordable and many selections

Cons

- If you happened to be a not white person, you might get some offensive attitude from sales person
