Went in with my friend, a bride to be, to find some fabric for her wedding and the employees were SO SWEET and excited to help. They helped us make sure the fabric was right for what she wanted and gave us some amazing insight and help figuring out the length we needed. Overall had a fantastic experience! Thank you!!!
Bright store with a great selection and organization. The major sections I noticed are notions, fashion, quilting, and home dec; not sure if there are more, as I mostly lurked in quilting. The quilting section is broken into many subsections by theme and color, e.g. solids, florals, batiks, stripes, etc. I was shopping for 19 different fabrics for a quilt and found everything I needed easily. I’m remembering so many prints I liked and would have bought if I weren’t already buying so much lol. There was one employee in particular working checkout who brightened my day just by being so cheerful, and the first thing I saw when I walked in was her aggressively sanitizing a shopping cart before putting it away. My minor complaints are the thread selection didn’t fit my preferences, and the prepackaged batting supply was sparse and needed restocking. I will have to continue to buy large cotton thread cones online.
COVID19: There's a line outside marked by red tape spaced 6ft apart. A man is controlling the number of people in the store and was very proactive about it. He even brought out water bottles when we were waiting in the sun.
Cotton prices were good ($6.99 for licensed and $8.99 for quilting cotton/batiks). The cotton thread was expensive IMO ($9.99 for 6000yd). I've seen this for about $2.99 and cheaper in other places).
Overall, very satisfied with the store and will return.
Very happy with their service! Barbara was extremely helpful and attentive. They were being very responsible/safe with masks and social distancing measures as well.
