Full disclosure - I'm not a good fabric shopper, and these kind of stores typically overwhelm me…read morewith the abundance of textile styles, colors, and weights. In need of seven yards of fabric to re-upholster a chair, I found myself at Artee Fabrics & Home on the recommendation of the man doing the work. On entering, my mom and I were warmly greeted by Jasmine, who showed us around the store, explaining the layout and how to find what we were seeking. Please note: the store is laid out by colors, not weights or types of fabric, so it helps to know your color scheme if you want to save time. After spending a good 20-30 minutes perusing the aisles, and seeing many beautiful options, I narrowed my selections to half a dozen. Then Nancy stepped in to assist, snipping swatches while I went back and forth before deciding on a suitable fabric. After making my final decision, I opted to purchase 3/4 yard to take home to make sure the colors worked in the room. (Worst case, I had enough for a pillow or a barstool.) Once I confirmed my selection worked, I simply called Artee and ordered the remaining yards needed. Jasmine and Nancy are great to work with, and I can definitely recommend their lovely store.

I am on vacation at Kure Beach ( beside Carolina Beach,…read morenear Wilmington NC) and my husband insisted I find a quilt shop and buy something to make a memorable quilt. I did alot of research on where I should choose to go. I only had time for one stop and Frans specializes in quilting fabrics so that's what I chose. I was very happy when I walked through those doors!!! Ladies it's a real deal quilt shop. I'm visiting around September 12, 2025 and the selection of fabrics was amazing! She had a wonderful and large selection of Free Spirit and Tula Pink, Riley Blake, Robert Koffman, all the designers you're looking for. She also had a very large selection of more budget friendly fabrics, precuts and LOTS of panels. I bought 3 panels myself. There's also a section dedicated to ocean theme fabrics so if your on vacation at the beach and want something beachy this is the place to go. They had all your supplies, threads, batting, all your sewing needs! I was talking to a local in the store and she said it'it's the best fabric shop around. Also important, the staff was AMAZING!! I brought my 2 year old daughter who now hates to ride in a stroller so the lady working there (Fran maybe?) pushed her around the store and taught her colors so I could shop!! Nobody does things like that anymore! I just thought it was super nice and I was definitely able to spend more money because I got to browse uninterrupted! Whatever quilts I make with what I purchased will always be remembered! This store is worth driving for, so if your anywhere near Wilmington (I don't know Wilmington well, but the area was very nice and clean and not extremely busy) please stop by Frans! You won't be disappointed and I personally will absolutely be back, same time next year!!!!

The other two times, I called the day before and was told that they had plenty of availability for walk-ins (the most recent date only had one appointment scheduled for the entire day); however, upon arrival, I was told that they were full and had more appointments to come. The owner then said "she'd check her computer to see if what she could do" [to work us in]. So we waited...and waited. After 20+ minutes, she had not come back, so I inquired about her being able to squeeze us in. She said she still hadn't had time to look at the computer. I watched her do far less urgent things than assisting a customer, especially when young kids are involved. She clearly had no intention to try to help us, so we left. During both of the unscheduled encounters, I've found the owner to be rude and unaccommodating. My best advice is to always book an appointment - even when not required for the project. If you don't, don't expect any help from the owner.
