Did a search for a fabric store and this popped up. I knew that I didn't want to go to a chain fabric store. So this worked out great for me. I cannot remember his name. But the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. The fabric is not cheap. They had quality fabrics here. He mentioned most were imported and it showed. I picked out some fabric and was on my way. Would definitely recommend for a fabric store. Which seem hard to come by nowadays. read more

They have great fabric and great staff, BUT, twice now I have gone there and they have been closed. Today I left work early, to make it there by 4 pm (their stated hours are until 5 pm). I arrived a 4:02, and there is a sign on the door "closing at 4 pm". Who has time for this? I don't. read more

This shop has amazing fabrics and amazing customer service. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. This little gem of a store is bigger than it looks. I have shopped in various fabric/craft stores and always have a problem finding a variety of fabrics at reasonable prices. Well, those days are over. A fabric place is the best place to get a huge selection of fabric and sewing materials. It is not a arts and crafts store which allows it to focus strictly on fabrics. The store is well organized, has everything on display, and is in a very nice location. The owners are very friendly and will work with you to help you find the materials that you need at the budget you can afford. read more

Enter "A Fabric Place." I found them online and they were the first store I went to on my quest to match the swatch of fabric I had. I was not disappointed. The young lady matched the fabric to almost perfection. She saved my event!!!! Not wearing the purchased dress was not an option! Not to mention how friendly she and the other staff were. I then went to the back room to get the thread I needed and..this room gave me an immediate flashback to my childhood when my Mom took me to Morten Schenk in downtown Baltimore. I loved it because the store was a wall of buttons!!! It looked like jewels all over the walls. It was a fond memory that I shared with one off the staff who remembered the store. All in all, the store itself had the most incredible fabric I've seen in a very long time. It it now on my list of favorites. Please visit if you are in need of a showstopper garment. Fabric beyond your wildest dreams! You wont be disappointed. read more

Shopping local for fabric can all be done here. This shop is a fabric mecca, they have it all. Tucked away near Roland Park, this small shop offers endless options when you walk inside. They have a private parking lot, so you won't be concerned with finding on street parking or a spot in a shopping center lot. There's a large central area where fabric is cut. Staff are friendly and have been very helpful during both visits. There's rooms of fabrics that are very well priced and unique. The tough part about going to a big box store is lack of variety. A Fabric Place has that missing variety. I could have stayed for a very long time looking through numerous varieties and options. They also have a room with threads, needles, etc. I was extremely happy with my experience and I recommend anyone stop in when in need of fabric. I don't think you'd be disappointed. read more

I feel bad giving this place 2 stars without even stepping in the door. But that's what happens when you don't update your website. I checked the website yesterday before I went there to get fabric to cover my throw pillows, the hours said it was open till 9PM. So naturally, I did all of my other errands and drove WAY out of my way to get there to find out they were closed. They had a sign on their door with "Summer Hours" stating that they closed at 5PM that day! I was furious that I took the effort to look up the hours and drove out of my way all for nothing! What a waist of my time. I would have preferred spending my money at a mom and pop shop like this who may need my business to actually stay in business, but it looks like JoAnn Fabrics is going to be my next stop because I know their hours will be accurate. Come on people get with the program, update your website with proper hours... probably the most important thing other than your address! read more

This place is fabric heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many options and the fabric choices are sooooooooooooo beautiful! They have a GREAT selection of specialty fabrics. If you're looking for fabrics for gowns or sequins or embellished fabrics, stop here first! The customer service here was superb! I was nicely greeted when I came in and if I had a question, it was answered or they would stop what they were doing to show me fabrics options of what I was looking for even though they did not have it. They didn't follow me around or stand next to me awkwardly the whole time while I shopped around. LOL. Their sewing patterns are only $2! Granted, a lot of the patterns are old but I did find a few that was worth buying for $2. The guy gave me a discount on fabric that I was interested in buying. Bless his sweet little heart. They have sooooooooooooooooooooooo many cute little buttons. I'm definitely going back when I have money to spend. I'm on a tight budget and couldn't splurge like I wanted. LOL. We will meet again Fabric Place!! read more

I am a devoted supporter/lover of this fabric store. The staff is incredibly personable and so helpful--I don't think I've ever felt so welcome in a store than here. They're so sweet and they love helping out everyone and when I was in undergrad as a Fibers major, they helped me afford my materials for several projects. Though I missed it, they even let one of my classes access to their warehouse stock and sold their discontinued or overstock wares at crazy discounted prices. I'm still kicking myself over that. And if you come at the right time and their remnants bin is overflowing, you may luck out like me and get your hands on some beautiful designer silk brocade for almost nothing. Love the selection, love the staff--I just can't say enough good things about this place. Lastly, here's an example of how helpful they are: I told them I was going to Asia for a year for a project and they even offered to send me whatever I needed while I was there. I left with a thick pile of swatches for my convenience and even though I didn't take them up on the offer, it was still extremely thoughtful of them. I've also been fed cupcakes while shopping here. True story. read more

I love this store for what it is. The last bastion for fine sewing in the Baltimore area. Here, you can find lovely wools, silks and cottons. They even carry some tailoring items like fusible hair canvas. There is a wide range of prices. From $6 a yard for a lovely Italian cotton to $40 a yard for a Chanel boucle. The owners are very friendly and always ask what you're up to. And, they are happy to work with you on prices and find alternatives when they see that 'must have' look on your face. Don't come for pattern sales -- that's what the big box stores are for. read more

This place is amazing!!! I went to 7 different fabrics stores from VA to DC and all around MD looking for a good selection of bridal lace an I found that and sooooo much more here. The selection is unmatched by 'the other guys' in the area. PLUS the staff was incredible- best customer service experience ever. They were helpful in my decision process and offered great advice and even pulled fabric for me based on my project description. Very genuine folks here! And a serious amount of stock, quality stock and great prices. I feel like I found a real gem here. I was searching for a particular thing but I saw they have great variety in trim, notions, ribbon, and all types of fabric. I can't say enough great thing about things about this place, definitely going back soon. read more

As an emerging fashion designer, I hold my fabric stores to a pretty high regard. "A Fabric Place" has a combination of GREAT quality (I repeat, quality!) fabric, AWESOME prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's the combination of these three that makes it my new favorite place to hunt for fabrics. I was told about this shop by a fellow designer and after her raving, I HAD to leave my DC boundaries to see what it was all about. I don't regret it for a moment. There were no stores in the DC area that provide me with the same overall experience elsewhere. All of the other reviews pretty much hit the nail on it's head. I'm in love! Michael is beyond words! I recently took a trip to search for fabrics for a new collection I'm constructing and I could not leave without thanking him enough. He even gave a great suggestion for Pepe's Diner, which is up the street. I'm about to go review them now, because that was also amazing! Even though it's a distance from me, it won't stop me from becoming a loyal customer. I really have no negative words. They don't have the best selection of notions (besides buttons) and supplies and little things like muslin but I could care less! It's called a "fabric" place and it's won me over! I had to start up a Yelp JUST to put in a good word! They also give the most generous swatches that I've ever come across (not those little 3/4" slivers that you can barely work with) and give greats deals in general, but especially on remnants! read more

Stumbled on this place this other day, and the buttons selection alone makes it a must go. Tucked away in the back of a strip mall, it is completely understated. But if you love fabric, you will love this place. read more

I've been shopping in this store since I was in 9th grade (1976)! My mom used to take me to the first location down in Mt. Washington. I've followed them to 3 locations. They have exquisite fabrics and the prices are great! Most of all the customer service is superb! If you are a serious seamstress/designer, you must stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've only been in there twice and I already love it. I'm still a sewing beginner, but perusing their amazing selection of fabrics and notions has given me so much inspiration for future projects. The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and most importantly, helpful. I'm pretty much in love with a room in the back that has beautiful (and colorful!) designer tweeds and boucles, though those can get a little bit pricey. And don't get me started on their wall of glorious buttons. Knowing this place is out there makes me want to keep at my sewing so I can take advantage of more of their goods. read more

Loves love love! Michael is great and handles very high end fabrics including Gucci, Chanel, and Burberry. I purchased some beautiful Alpaca for a coat. The have a good quality of suitings up to the 200s and good quality woolens. I think the back room for the notions is a bit dated but I am sure people are not visiting the store for that. I love going here! read more

Place is amazing. Michael was so nice. First time I've ever been there After having lived in area for 20 plus years. Wish I knew about it sooner. Don't let the exterior of the building fool you, it is a gem of fabrics inside. Designer fabrics. Wonderful silks, Boucle and even cashmere. read more

I came here to buy fabric for a project for my daughter's bas mitzvah and had such a wonderful experience! I was greeted by a very friendly woman who was readily available to help me but did not hover at all. The fabrics are gorgeous and abundant. When I found what I wanted, the woman deftly calculated and cut how much material I needed, gave me some advice on sewing with this particular fabric, and even kindly gave me the sale price even though the sale had ended a day prior. I rarely sew and cannot honestly say I will frequent the store, but I WILL highly recommend it to anyone who does. You will appreciate shopping here so much more than Jo-Ann Fabrics. read more

I had a great experience here even though the inventory is lacking a bit. The owner is very accommodating and goes out if his way to make sure you have what you need. Since I live in PG county I won't be making a special trip to go here again, but if I were a Baltimore county resident I would come back for sure. read more

This was my second visit and selection was extensive and customer service was second to none!

I went to a Fabric Place to get material for my wedding dress. They did not have great selection, and didn't have very helpful staff. (The salesman got a call on his cellphone from a telemarketer and began yelling at him on the phone while he was working with us... read more

How awesome was this place and everyone that works there! I will be going back again and again! The staff are so helpful and full of information :) lots of fabrics to choose from too! read more

Very enthusiastic staff, even at 8pm! They gave me just enough ideas for Halloween and made sure it was in my budget.

I've been shopping at A Fabric Place for several years and can't say enough about the great customer service, high quality of apparel fabrics and large selection of woolens, silks, specialty fabrics, linings, and designer cuts. They offer gift certificates (put this on your holiday gift list). Don't come here if you are looking for cheap cottons for making a quilt...their specialty is quality! The staff is attentive and helpful. They will go to all troubles to help serve your needs. And the button selection is "over the moon"! The next closest place to go for fancy and quality is NYC Fashion/garment district. A bit too far for me on a regular basis! Not sure why someone had a problem with the hours listed on the website. I always call ahead when I'm going to a new shop that I haven't visited. I'd give them 10 stars if I could! read more

A Fabric Place is not the place to go for the standard range of overpriced polyester crap or gaudy but useless sewing notions. Instead, A Fabric Place is where you go to find that perfect fabric for your commitment ceremony gown, to wander through racks of delicious fabrics of all kinds, to marvel at the entire room full of silk, and to be inspired or to plan another twenty or thirty sewing or craft projects. In short, this is a seamstress' paradise. Go and chat with the incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating staff, find that one fabric that you've been looking for for years now, but most importantly, make sure you leave enough time to just enjoy the shop. read more

I've been here at least a dozen times and I've always been a happy camper. I sew most of my kids cloths and just about all of my clothing with the exception of jeans. They have the greatest variety of material and every button imaginable. My kids hate to come with me because I spend so much time there and they do get bored but that's the way it goes! read more

In person, I found them to be personable and informal. Great place. They have a variety of fabrics from cost efficient to high end quality. read more

I'm not a huge sewing fanatic, but I needed some fabric for a little DIY project for my office. I like to try to support more local, family-owned type places and this store was right by my apartment! When I stopped in, I was (unfortunately) the only customer there even though there were several workers (I think they were all the same family, there was even a little daughter working on homework). At least 3 of them came over to ask if they could help and make suggestions while I browsed. They seemed genuinely interested in helping me find the right fabric for my job. The woman who ultimately measured out my fabric was very precise and took extra care with the fabric I wanted. She was friendly and thanked me for my business. I ended up buying more yards than I needed just because they were so nice! I'll definitely be back for other projects. read more

Great selection of special occasion fabrics, suitings, and denim. I found some really interesting and different fabrics that definitely get creative vibes going. Decent selection of buttons and findings. Staff was very helpful. read more

I have been an avid sewer and buyer of fabric for over 30 years. The one staff person I met at A Fabric Place was very polite and willing to help had I needed assistance. While it is true the store has an extensive fabric selection, the display left much to be desired. The bolts were lying on the floor or stacked on tables with no signs and no labels for types of fabric. Part of the fun of visiting a fabric store is the interesting display of fabric paired with patterns and samples to spark ideas. Because the overall ambiance of the store was so messy and uninviting, I left without buying anything. While it is the last independent fabric store in Baltimore, they could certainly shape us their display of fabric and clean up the store. Feng Shui does indeed matter. read more
