    Keckers sitting on some fabric from the store.
    Jeff B.

    They have beautiful fabrics, a helpful staff and great prices. They even have books of other fabrics that you can choose from.

    So many samples! This is what I brought home.

    The staff was so patient and helpful. I'm slightly colorblind so I needed a lot of guidance and Annette was patient while we looked at every rack and cut samples. I took them home and placed my order over email. Now I wait a few weeks and they will pick up my 3 pieces and bring them back after 2 weeks. I will post before and after pics and give an update, but it's looking good so far!

    I'm so glad our upholstery artist referred us to By The Yard. The fabrics are gorgeous and half the price from other places I shopped. Annett was patient and helpful when I came in. I was able to check out samples which was super helpful. Fabric can look different in the home.

    I can't say enough good things about By The Yard in Tempe. Colleen has been fabulous to work with on multiple projects for our home and so helpful and responsive! Attaching photos of our new kitchen valence and will post more as other items arrive!

    So happy we went with Helena at By the Yard! She was very knowledgeable, come to our home and let us go through lots of fabric, and helps us make good choices. Would definitely continue to go back for more window treatments. Excellent service and reasonable prices..

    I was so happy to find By the yard after browsing through Tempe sales which is an absolute dump! Also had gone to Bocca bargoons which is nice but Way overpriced.also check the fabric in hobby lobby but there was basically no selection there. So when I found by the yard it was a perfect match they had the fabric that I liked for much less and the labor was half the price. Colleen was helpful in making the final decision. The workmanship was excellent . She predicted that the items would be ready in six weeks and to our surprise it was ready in 10 days. I would highly recommend the store and Colleen and I will have future items recovered here for sure.

    Annette was so patient with me, we visited the store several times to make our decision on the fabric- it was so worth it!

    I had sent a question in via the website and received a helpful and friendly response same day. I…read morewas in the area later so stopped by to check it out. I'm pretty new to fabric arts but excited about all the future projects! SAS had SO much stuff. All kinds of fabrics from fake fur to satiny-y types. And all the bits to fancy things up, sparkly trim and buttons and things like that.n The staff were friendly to me and helpful and I heard them interacting with others in a friendly way. I look forward to getting supplies here as I learn how to make things! Parking was easy as well.

    This was the first time I've ever needed to come to a fabric shop in my 31 yrs of life. Not only…read morewere they not helpful, but when it came time for me to check out I was told to go to another line, cool but I've never been here before and yall let me wonder for 10 minutes without offering help, so I go to the next line and the first thing this girl tells me is that next time I'm in here only water is allowed. I asked her if this was posted anywhere and she said it was. No where was this posted. Not on the door, not next to the cashier no where. I'm a rule follower, the more rules the better in my opinion. Not only does she bark this order at me, but after I tell her I don't see a sign saying no drinks (I had a sealed bottle of Gatorade on a 84 degree day) she says it's there......spend your money elsewhere. I happily went to Michael's and spend over $80 on fabric, just because they treated me like a human and didn't bark orders at me. I'm sorry you hate your job girlie, but it is not my fault. -10 stars DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU SIMPLY WANT FABRIC FOR A CHEAPER PRICE. There are other places with cheaper prices, but if you don't mind spending the extra dollar. Russ at Michael's at Tempe market place was so available and willing to help me, plus he served as a Marine and National Guardsmen for +21 years. Take your money to a place that will treat you well. Not here. So I tried calling the store to ask if I could speak to a manager, a girl named Becky got on the phone, started telling me not to curse at her (I wasn't cursing) then hung up on me. When I tried to call back i was hung up on again. Then the next time I was met with the same hostility. I tried to call another location to get the owners info, and was told that Becky is in fact in charge of all the locations and is the head of Sas. I pray God blesses you and your business Becky in the same way you bless others. Best believe I will tell everyone I know not to shop here.

I had not great experiences at the Phoenix sewing multi-brand store (not Mulqueen or Bernina). I had said I wanted to stay under $1k and had received the most appalled reaction and customer service. Contrast to Mulqueen. Walk in, all the machines are on & ready to play with. I had called to check availability of a few models and chose this location over tempe based on machines on the floor. I brought scraps with me & set to testing but was quickly confused by some of the buttons. A woman appeared right about that time, sat down next to me and walked me through it. Keep in mind this was a $500 machine not $3k or something. She even suggested a less expensive version next to it often used in their classes (Janome) ultimately decided this was too basic & I missed computerized so she walked me to the Juki I requested next & I quickly set to work testing it. This particular model (hzl f600) was over m y budget but I knew the basic functionality was similar to the ones I was considering. Absolutely loved it! Denim, slippery rayon, no issues. She said you know we might have this used. She walked me to the oasis of used/refurb machines. They had every machine I was considering-available used/refurb and under $1k!! I ultimately got the f600 used -could not be happier-and saved enough to buy way more fabric than I need. My only complaint is we need a location in Phoenix or Scottsdale!!!! The gentleman in the refurb area was also super helpful answering questions the woman couldn't (she had long gray hair but didn't catch a name). Well worth the 35 minute drive & seriously only place I will go for machines.

    I called to ask about fixing a sewing machine and the person who took my call was very polite and…read moretold me that it's a feee estimate. So I drove over an hour to get to the store to take it in and Ronnie the repair tech told me it would cost 179$ for a tech to look at the machine plus any additional cost of parts. So a classic bait and switch! Do not go there for repairs unless you your fine with a 179$ minimum cost!

Shawn, took the time to show me around and go over some Fabric choices and what exactly they do here, the history. It's good to know they've been in business for over 20 years, and they have over 7,000 rolls of fabric. It's kind of a soup to nut store. You just gotta take a look for yourself and see what your needs are. I'm looking forward to our new business relationship that will also be turning into a friendship! I really do appreciate good people when I find them. I feel this organization is a good trustworthy, a handshake type place. I will update again after my order gets complete. I WOULD RECOMMEND

With the closure…read moreof so many fabric shops due to the now-defunct JoAnne's, which put them all under, Fabric Depot expanded exponentially with the inclusion of regular fabrics, quilting materials, and bridal fabrics. However, what their core products have always been for over 25 years is providing us with everything you need for inside and outside of your home. Whether it's to recover or make new window awnings, re-cover your furniture on the inside and the outside, recover your boat seats, home decor, tote bags, throw pillows, make bean bag chairs, kids & adult crafts, and anything else you can imagine, even curtains. It is one-stop shopping for unusual fabrics, trim, etc., needed for stage, theater, and Halloween costumes, and the unusual trimmings that go with them. I have used it for exotic fabrics for Christmas and Easter pageants at my church. I also used it to recover the seating on a used boat, and the canvas needed to replace the top sun shade covering over the cab of the boat. Have also bought tough canvas to make a back patio cover. They also sell leather hides. Those are the types of materials you can find here, along with whatever hardware is needed to go with the installation of your do-it-yourself project involving indoor fabric & outdoor material. Bring your finished item back in, pick out the grommets needed to hang it, and as a great convenience, they will stamp those grommets in for you for a nominal price. We are blessed to have this brick-and-mortar store in our city. I just can't get used to this new online way of choosing material from a small 2 x 2 photo. Is my computer screen showing me the true color? What is the true thickness...what the heck is 2mm? I absolutely need to see and feel the material to know if it will work for me. Once it's paid for, cut, and received by you, it is non-returnable. We all know we've lost good money doing shopping this way. Please make the trip and see this store; you will not be disappointed. Please support and keep this valley icon in business.
