Great place for fabrics. Been coming here for years. The staff there is always so helpful and will share tips/tricks for your sewing project! A whole store full of endless fabric options along with lace, notions, and even zippers of every size. Much better than going to a large chain hobby store. The materials I use from fabrics world always elevate my idea for a basic price. Sometimes it is a little packed so the girls will be busy helping others, but they always make a point to ask you if you're alright or what it is you're looking for. read more

I can't speak to the customer service or prices, which appear to be hit and miss (their fabrics are beautiful but fabric is super expensive these days) but want to share some of the lovely fabrics I saw during my visit in April. The shop is pretty large, mostly Hispanic, and for those who have Singer machines, right down the street from a Singer shop. If you are willing to pay for sumptuous fabrics, may be worth a drive (more images on the shop's Google Places review). read more

See all

The owner is the worst business man I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. He expects for customers to pay for shipping cost on items he will keep at the store and continue to make money on, when I said I would gladly keep the entire amount of yards that would come in the order, since I am paying for shipping he said no, so the fact that I am a returning customer didn't matter and he's ok with losing a steady client simply because he wants to the customer to pay for shipping, which let me add is only $35. It's not the customers obligation to stock your store! Why would I pay for shipping in an item I will not keep in its entirety? Fun fact: you're not the only fabric store in a Miami, and you don't have competitive prices either, you are just conveniently close by. Go back to business school, if you ever went and learn business management and customer service. Never ever shopping here again. Go elsewhere people of Miami, this place isn't all that and the owner is a jerk. read more

Good customer service, pricey material but good selection. Have purchased material for special occasion dresses here several times and have always found different, beautiful fabrics. Just wish they weren't so pricey. Yet they are still better than some places. read more

I'm lucky to have Fabrics World as my local fabric shop. Excellent quality and friendly service that allows me to browse and also answers questions if needed. read more

I'm disappointed with my experience at Fabrics World. They have a decent selection of fabrics, but the service here is not great. I think we stood in the store for about 10 minutes in FRONT of the sales people waiting to be attended and they pretty much acted like we weren't there. When they finally got to us, they weren't very enthusiastic. There was one woman who came out and she had a great attitude and was happy to help us - she resembled the whole experience. read more

Good selection of speciality fabrics and the ladies who work there are helpful. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the overall quality is good. The location is small, but I still found there to be a lot of styles and designs to choose from. You will find a lot of suitable fabrics if you are designing a specialty dress or costume. read more

Came in looking for something specific however what I loved was way out of my price range. The lady was so very kind and helpful. She suggested many options and found me the perfect piece! They are pricey this is not Joann's Fabrics but neither is the service!!! read more

Fun Fact: This place is right up the street from Ultra Fabric When I walked in no one bothered to acknowledge me. There were 4 women working and they were all on the phone. I spent about an hour and a half looking through fabric alone. Based on previous reviews I really wasn't expecting customer service here. On a positive note, there is a lot of fabric here. They have a wide selection of both, high quality, expensive fabric and some not so expensive fabric. I pulled some fabric rolls that were $150/yd and up and some that were also budget friendly, for example $6.99/yd (you have to find these bolts tucked away in the back by the restroom). I ended up purchasing some fabric here and was glad that I didn't have to drive in the madness downtown. I would consider coming back here specifically for the fabric but not to make any friends. read more

Amazing customer service and the fabrics are to die for. Yes, it is busy, but that proves to show, that this place is great. The ladies who assisted me and my family were thorough, detailed, and collected. While I may have not known what I wanted off the bat, they assisted me with guidance and their knowledge. Thank you very much! read more

Amazing customer service! I took my grandmother here and they were extremely attentive and sweet to her. Really great prices and selection of fabrics. I would do business with them again in the future. read more

Visited the Bird Rd location today in search of fabric for my daughters wedding dress. The ladies there took exceptional care of us and went above and beyond helping with choosing the right look for my daughter. They assisted us in contacting a designer to work with in making the dress. Couldn't be more thankful for the experience! Great customer service. read more

Dont bother with this place. The people behind the counter are too busy talking to each other to help anyone. Really

This place is OK. It is expensive compared to other places around and the sales lady is very very pushy. They have a good selection but again very pushy sales lady. The parking here is very difficult and frustrating. English as a first language in this place....yeah not so much. read more

Was hesitant about this place after reading poor reviews and having had a terrible experience at Ultra Fabrics, but was very happily surprised. They not only have a great selection of fabrics and appliqués, but very nice employees. Yes - the place was busy and I had to wait, but I was treated with the utmost respect and devoted attention when it was my go. Will return for any of my sewing needs. read more

Poor poor poor customer service. When I arrived I walked to the counter and a salesman was helping a woman and a saleswoman was helping a woman. I patiently waited. Another woman walked in and the salesman asked her if she needed help (ignoring me standing in front of him). The woman he was helping said that I was first and needed help. He looked at me and didn't say 'excuse me' or 'apologizes', he just looked at me. So I showed him what I was looking for and he said they only had one color. I asked if someone could help me and then he just pointed to the area of the store where the fabric might be located. So off I went to look. While looking the saleswoman came by with a customer and instead of saying 'excuse me' or 'pardon me', she just moved the fabric I had picked out aside and walked pass me. The customer actually said 'excuse me' when she passed me. Ok, so I have 4 bolts of fabric and I have to carry them to the front for cutting (no one checked to see if I needed help). I stand by the same woman who was still being helped by the salesman when I arrived (he was cutting her fabric). She asked where the 3rd employee was and he told her she was out for lunch. So I patiently waited.....until I noticed the returning employee decided to help a woman who came in after I was waiting to have my fabric cut. Enough!! I said, 'excuse me, but I have been patiently waiting for service and the woman you are helping came in after me'. She said she didn't know and had just returned from lunch and had asked (in Spanish) who needed help. Since I don't speak Spanish, how was I suppose to know this. Why didn't the salesman tell her I was next. I was now angry, outraged by the service, hungry (hadn't had lunch) and about to have either a loud or teary breakdown. I think the saleswoman got the picture and helped me (and the customer she was helping knew I was there before her). When she finished cutting my fabric and had my money, the salesman said, 'sorry you are angry but it was busy in the store'. I told him that wasn't an excuse, that they had hurt my feelings and had done nothing to respond to that. They just offered a 'this is just how it is' not 'please let us offer you a discount or anything'. They ignored me, didn't help me, disrespected me and then dismissed me with a 'thank you for your $$ in exchange for our awful service'. Initially I thought it was because I'm African American or non-Spanish speaking, but after seeing the Yelp reviews - they are just awful at customer service. Given their poor service, I doubt they will see me, my friends, family, business partners, or social media followers in the near future. read more

Great experience with the people at Fabrics World. We went to the Bird Road location looking for a teal silk charmeuse and the woman behind the counter helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Very friendly and knowledgable and the selection was enormous. I will definitely be going back. read more
