I used to be an inveterate fabric shopper and sewed for myself and others since childhood, getting…read moremy first "toy" Singer that actually sewed dolls' clothes. My granddaughter has it now after her Dad learned on it too, when he was young. Because of aging and vision loss, I no longer do much sewing, just the quick small repair using extra lights and magnification. Also I find I often need to "remodel" an item that I bought with the plan to use an alteration to the construction. That is what led me to Sewbo today as there are no more multi craft stores left near me. I prefer quality parts and local ownership so the loss of one chain was really no big deal. But the remaining fabric store, one of my long time favorites, does not carry the sort of thing I was looking for. It specializes in high-end classic fabrics and has a talented staff in more formal design and construction. It pains me to no longer be able to support that business which I had for nearly 50 years. Somewhere along in recent times, Sewbo opened quite close to me but in a rather obscure corner of a shopping center we use regularly for other things. For those confused by its address on Baseline, know that it is on the "back" (south side) of the Basemar shopping center, behind Dougs Diner but with its own parking accessed from 27th Way which connects 28th St to Broadway. You can turn into the store access from 27th Way next to the Core Yoga building. With the reserved parking spaces and before lunch, we had no trouble taking an empty space. Not only does the store carry many choices in contemporary fabrics, they carry lots of notions like zippers and threads. They also teach classes, even for children, which is a great summer project. I wish my granddaughter was here to take one. I found exactly the zipper I was looking for, their colors and lengths stock was expansive. The price was minimal though it appears to be high quality too. A staff member greeted us immediately upon entering and was so helpful in finding the exact type zipper I wanted.. I wish even more that I still was sewing regularly as it is so nice to have another comprehensive quality local source for projects.

I just left this fabric store and won't go back. The tall woman with short curly black hair was…read moretotally put off by my presence. Evidently I interrupted restocking and was treated like I was in the way. I am not one to leave a negative review but this is warranted.

Horrible customer service experience tonight with Lisa and the manager on duty. The only positive…read moreemployee was Emerson, who genuinely tried to help but was told by Lisa and the manager not to assist us. It's sad to think of other customers having to go through this kind of treatment. I came in around 8pm and at 8:30pm asked to have fabric cut--30 minutes before closing. I was told they could only cut three fabrics due to it being so close to closing time. We had wanted 6 fabrics cut but decided not to push the issue. Lisa cut two, then stopped early to begin closing down the store. At 8:53pm--still before closing--she refused to cut the last fabric, claiming it would take "5 to 10 minutes" to cut one piece of 3-yard fabric. That excuse is absurd. Measuring and cutting fabric is basic service, and there was still time left before the store officially closed. When Emerson stepped up to help, she was directly told by Lisa and the manager not to serve us. This was after we had already spent about $150 on fabric and other items. Refusing service to paying customers who are well within store hours is unacceptable. I understand not wanting to keep staff past closing, but when a customer is in the store before closing time, they should receive service until that time--not be dismissed early. Tonight's interaction was dismissive, unprofessional, and damaging to Michael's reputation for customer service. I will be escalating this to Michael's corporate management, because I believe the company would not condone the way this store treated its customers.

There was an amazing selection of clays I was looking for. The staff was helpful and friendly which…read moremade my time easier here. I saved a ton on this trip shoutout to the coupons available!
