Started with Hummingbird sewing when it was still John's sewing 20 years ago, great service…read moreknowledgeable staff and the work they do is still the best maintenance and repair around. Bought both my serger and sewing machine there and have bought several refurbished machines for community organizations. I drive from Toronto to get my machines serviced and scissors sharpened there. They are that good.

The embroidery designs will not even sew right. The tall blonde lady was stuck up with me, took my money and didn't tell me they ruined my machine, so today I have to throw it out. I won't be back there , and would NOT recommend this place.

I was making many curtains for a house with so many windows. I ordered a grommet press, cutter/die…read morecombo and curtain grommets from JT's. I didn't know what I was doing so I called them and asked a ton of questions. They were very helpful. I ended up estimating and ordering too many grommets. JT's called me (...called me! - not an email) to say they would send most and the rest when they restocked. Turns out I didn't need the grommets on back order. I let them know and was refunded within an hour. Well done, JT's Outdoor Fabrics! Great customer service experience!

Mark, you'll be seeing me again soon. I've just aquired another property that needs the…read moreceiling-mounted hardware. Window owners everywhere, this is a window covering solution you won't find at any hardware store. If you have a ceiling or bulkhead that sits directly on top of the window frame -- that is, there's no wall space between the top of the frame and the ceiling -- you've probably done what everyone does in that situation: mount a half-moon style rod hook on the frame itself. So you know what happens: you can see the top of the frame above the top of the curtains, and you get a line of light coming in at the top, because the curtains can't sit high enough to cover the whole window. Well, Mark's got an app for that. :-) Ask him for the ceiling-mounted rings. They come in all the same colours as the rods. Oh, and you MUST buy the rods, too. You know the kind you get in hardware stores, the expandable kind? You know how they sag in the middle because they're not sturdy? And how your curtains get stuck in the gap? And then you have to pull too hard on them, and the next thing you know you've ripped that cheap rod hook right out of the wall? Well, so far, I've bought... let me count in my head...six sets of solid rods and ceiling supports from Mark, and they're the greatest things. I keep showing all my clients and tenants, and they're amazed they've never seen such a simple curtain solution anywhere before. I tell them, just go see Mark at The Drapery King.

Buyer beware. They don't take any responsibility for their mistakes and don't accept returns or…read moreexchanges on any purchases. One of their sales reps told us we could buy a curtain to take home and then exchange it if it wasn't the right colour even though it's in PERFECT condition. Had them cut rods but they weren't cut properly even though the measurements were CORRECT and they won't do anything about it. Thought about having them install curtains too but when we realized that Mark, the owner, chooses (on a whim or based on how he's feeling that day) who gets a better price for such services, we opted out. It's hard to support small businesses when this is how they run their business - especially when it's something custom and so specific like curtains, rods, etc!
