What a lovely fabric store in mid town Albuquerque. I almost didn't find it, it was tucked in off the Main Street but I'm glad I did. Lots of wonderful fabrics I haven't seen in my towns fabric store, including some by local artists. Such a treat. The lovely woman helping me was a delight as well. I'm glad I made time in our vacation schedule to pop into this gem. read more

Very friendly and welcoming. The ladies were were helpful and knowledgeable.they have lots of cute fabrics and lots of notions.

This fabric store is more than just a shopping place. The owner and her staff take their work seriously and offer opportunities that the community simply cannot resist. The classes and teachers are diverse and excellent, the variety of fabrics, notions, and must-have items make one's stitching experience so much more fun. And...get this. They will buy back your unused fabric to sell it to others who are sure to need/enjoy it it! While most crafting stores simply watch their bottom line, Hipstitch is customer-focused. Their goal is Met every day...turning every customer's interest into a passion. read more

Wonderful shop with friendly, helpful staff. They have a wide variety of quilt fabrics, batting and notions, as well as some fabrics suitable for making leggings and clothes. They offer assorted classes as well as opportunities to participate in charity sewing projects. There is an onsite sewing machine repair technician too. Tucked away here and there are patterns and kits for various occasions, and holiday projects and sewing gifts are available far enough in advance of the holiday so a sewist can complete those little projects in time for gift giving. They have precut fabrics of various sizes that would make great gifts for your favorite quilter. They also offer extra wide fabrics for backing as well as pre-cut backing fabric. I love this local-owned shop! read more

I had a Singer Featherweight sewing machine painted purple by Hip Stitch. I bought it sight unseen and trusted all would go well, quite an investment, but I've always wanted one, purple that is. I cannot say enough about the wonderful service they provided! When I got my machine it was beautiful! Absolutely beautiful, but the actual sewing left a little to be desired. They assured me they would make it good even if I had to send it back, but they were able to talk me through it on the telephone and it was so minor, I'm almost embarrassed. A little oil here, a little oil there and my machine is fantastic! Hums along! They were so patient and kind and had wonderful follow through. Mel even called after to make sure everything was good. From New Mexico to Hawaii, just needed a little oil! I couldn't be happier with my shine newFeatherweight and thankyoutoHip Stitch! read more

One of our favorite places in ABQ for sure! My daughter and I have taken several classes there and had a wonderful experience each time. They are good working with adults and kids. read more

The staff is very helpful and nice. They have a wonderful selection of Tribal print fabrics. A great fabric store in Albuquerque. I'm delighted they have a great website, too! read more

I LOVE this fabric store! Any time we go to Albuquerque, I try to stop in. Their fabric selection is wonderfully curated. It's a small/medium sized store so they can't carry *everything* but they pick out the most on trend and up to date collections from the best fabric manufacturers. The employees and owner are very friendly and chatty. It makes you feel like you are really wanted there. I probably spend way too much time plucking bolts from the shelves and coordinating solids or other prints and never walk out without spending a bit too much money. BUT, unlike other fabric stores, I ALWAYS USE that fabric right away instead of falling slightly out of love with it once I get home. I know that whatever I pick out at Hip Stitch will get loved and whatever I make from it will be put into heavy rotation at this house. read more

Whoo-Hoo! My HipStitch delivery came today!! During my recent visit to Albuquerque, I paid a visit to one of my favorite fabric stores and purchased some gorgeous stuff. Very unique pin cushions, a small quilting project and some vibrant fabrics are now in my possession. This place never lets me down. When in Albuquerque...check it out! read more

Hip Stitch - Albuquerque, NM I, as a sewer and fabric hoarder, am completely obsessed with this store after only one trip in! After a little East Coast trip last year, I managed to find a tiny, locally owned fabric shop in Indianapolis, IN. I absolutely loved everything about the shop! It was quaint, cute, and better than any BIG retailer. Well, fast forward about half a year. I had forgotten that I wanted to look into something similar when I got back home. I finally remembered, and decided to look up fabric shops locally. This one caught my eye immediately, and I went right away to check it out! No regrets at all in doing this! I absolutely loved Hip Stitch! It had all the same elements as the one in Indiana, except it was HERE, in my home city! I came in with my husband in tow, and everyone was super pleasant to both of us as SOON as we entered. We felt completely right at home. The selection was great! So many new and unique prints to choose from, and completely reasonably priced for being a smaller, locally owned store. The staff not only was kind, but super knowledgeable on product and experience in the industry. I'm seriously thinking about coming back for some sewing classes as soon as I get some more free time! The class schedule seems to be really interesting and it's affordably priced compared to similar stores. We will be back (OR as my husband said as we left, "She'll be back again soon, and LOTS!"). read more

This is a wonderful store! Great people and a fun selection of quality fabrics. The staff are always helpful and friendly. I love shopping here and they have a good website for shopping online. read more

What continues to bring me back to Hip Stitch are the people! Everyone is so friendly, ready to help, and make you feel a part of the community. They carry some of my favorite fabrics like Alison Glass, Me + You, Cotton and Steel, knits, lots of books, and yarn! This is why I shop locally for my fabric! read more

I travel frequently and try to visit local quilt shops wherever I go. Hip Stitch was a special treat. At the entrance I laid my eyes on a GORGEOUS Featherweight machine painted in an amazing purple. On entering the store I was warmly welcomed and given a tour through the store. Hip Stitch has fabrics that are unique to the store, Sashiko materials and patterns I have never seen before and lots of clothing patterns. It was a great experience and well worth the Uber ride from my hotel! A must-visit for modern quilters! read more

Pretty blessed with GREAT quilt shops in Abq and this one is my favorite for modern quilt making. They have practically all the Grunge colors. They have gorgeous "modern batiks" that I can't resist. They have many lines from some of my favorite modern designers. Many wonderful ideas on the walls to inspire. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. read more

Best quilt shop in Albuquerque hands down! I've been here a few times and the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I'm a young quilter and always feel welcome and not intimidated at Hip Stitch I like other shops in town. Suzanne and her staff go above and beyond! Not to mention their selection is incomparable. read more

The staff and employees are not the best. Every day they reluctantly help the poor children. Even the fabric is not the best consistency!!! read more

Horrible service. Called first to ask if I could bring in my Viking machine. They said yes. I brought it in. They texted a week later and said "your machine is ready." I went in (45 minute trip each way for me) and they said they could not service it because it was Viking! What? I called first, they texted that it was ready then they told me they couldn't service it? Awful communication. read more

I am not an expert seamstress. In fact, I came to HipStitch because I wanted to learn more about sewing to help me decide if I wanted to buy a machine. After searching for sewing classes in Albuquerque, I found HipStitch and signed up for their HipStitch Basics class. The class couldn't have been more helpful and fun. Suzanne, the owner, was knowledgeable and helpful. She was patient with all of my questions . The class was well structured and had clear goals. The store itself is adorable. I look forward to going back to buy sewing supplies and attend more classes and I learn how to sew. read more

Excellent selection of fabric! Great customer service- I ran out of fabric and was working in Roswell, NM... Melissa took the time to pull up my past order and match it to pictures of the fabric to ensure she cut the right material, and then shipped it to me- all within a few days! Every time I go through Albuquerque I will be stopping here! read more

I've been to HipStitch twice now and I'm so pleased and excited to return again soon. Suzanne is a pleasure to deal with and every time I go in it's like seeing an old friend. I took the basics course and it was very informative and had clear goals of what the class was to accomplish. It was a great help in learning the ins and outs of a first simple project and I am planning on returning for a beginner's quilting class need month. I bought some fabric as well. Suzanne was interested in my project and even asked me to bring it in when it was done. A great gem in Albuquerque and I will definitely be back. read more

Jermey, has done a great job on my machines. Late 50's Singer and 2004 Janome. He's the best!

I'll stick with the Yarn Store. Much better service and responsive. From my brief experience with Hip Stitch, it's obvious they couldn't care less about good service, following through on promises or providing classes to newbies. The Yarn Store puts Hip Stitch to shame!! read more

Visited this shop while I was visiting ABQ for work. Cute shop with fun fabrics and the staff was helpful and friendly.

These ladies really have it going on! Although I miss the opportunity to browse through the fabrics in their lovely store, I have to say - they have their online ordering and order pickup and follow up down! So very impressed. Thank you for figuring this out so efficiently. read more

I like this place. Some fairly contemporary/modern looking fabric. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Recently they featured Breaking Bad fabric. Apparently Sony mostly doesn't pursue 'infringement' of copyright violations for 'Breaking Bad' merchandise and hence the large number of Breaking Bad items around town. read more

I was in need of some basic notions and awesome fabric. Not only did Hip Stitch have everything I needed they practiced the ultimate customer service golden rule, under-promise and over-deliver! There was an option to pick up curbside but I paid for shipping anticipating that I would get my "your order is ready email" and then go to the store and call for curb side. Instead, within a few hours of placing my order online on a day where it is 100 degrees outside, my doorbell rang and inside my gate at my front door was my order with everything I needed. I am so delighted by the quality of the fabric I selected, unanticipated service to my door and helpfulness of this small business. Thanks for making my day easier and enjoyable. I most definitely recommend this business! read more

My mom and I went into the store for the first time today. We were immediately greeted by friendly store workers. We came to buy fun baby fabric for a baby quilt. We were there for about an hour! The woman helping us went way out of her way to help us find exactly what we wanted even when we didn't know!! What a great shop! read more

Friendly but incompetent help. Expensive and sometimes worth it. (The owners have been spotted at Hobby Lobby buying bolts of sale fabric to mark up to $12.99/yd to sell in their shop.) Eager to make a sale but less eager to deliver on their promises. read more

First off, I'm not a quilter. Or rather I wasn't. Now I've made 2 of them because of this fantastic group of creative folks. I've made 2 Jellyroll quilts during Sat night classes at the store. It is so much fun! Who knew?! I sew clothes and had no idea what fun quilting is. Or how complimentary it is to fashions. The store has interesting, quality and inspiring fabrics. There are so many inspirational pieces hanging around to keep your head spinning in possibility. Everyone in the store is knowledgeable, helpful and fun. No matter what I'm working on, there is always a new tip to gather here. And no stinginess on sharing either. I love Hip Stitch and the community they are. It is welcoming and inspiring. Charity sew events are a fun way to give back, and have a wonderful group to share the day with. Every time I go in there, I come back out a better person. Thanks! read more

We came here following a recommendation of a local friend. As a quilter, I was amazed. The diversity of fabric really makes this shop a treasure. The ladies helping us were funny, and welcoming. I got a few new ideas about new projects. Will definitely make this shop a visit item on our list next time we're in the area. read more

I Love this Store.I always go there to work, eat, or do my homework. ANYTHING, they are so accomodating and let you just hang out at the stor if you have gotten to know them! Suzanne is so sweet, and even when other people are tending the store, the atmosphere is so friendly. The classes are so easy to follow and the fabrics are the cutest around. read more

I love checking out new quilt shops when I travel. The problem with quilt shops is that the owners aren't always too friendly or helpful. I can honestly say the folks at Hip Stitch were genuinely friendly and pleasant, and asked me if I needed any help with anything. The store is super cute with an excellent variety of modern fabrics and notions. I wish I lived closer than 700 miles away from it! I'd be there all the time! It truly is a gem of a shop - go visit it if you have the chance! read more

Current grade: Strengths: I love this store! It's great for expert quilters and beginners. The fabrics are fresh and gorgeous. The staff is extremely helpful when you want help, but they'll let you browse as long as you want when you just wan to enjoy the fabric. I've called in for sewing help and they've been great. I've called in to get just a bit more fabric and they've been great, too. Again, I love this store! Concerns: Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

A nifty store to visit, and the staff and owner are helpful, friendly, and generous! If you are into sewing or want to learn, this is a great place to go! read more

Loved this quilt store. Modern quilting supplies with a great friendly staff. You won't regret coming here.

In March, my cousin Loretta and I discovered Hip Stitch. We were so impressed with the fabric, patterns and especially the great staff. Loretta found the quilt pattern and fabric to make a quilt that she wanted for her son. I also found a great pattern and fabric! Now we are in August and my cousin has recently passed away. She finished the original quilt top we went in to Hip Stitch for but she also mentioned that she wanted to make a similar quilt for her other son but was not able to start on that quilt. I called Hip Stitch (I live in California) and they were so incredibly helpful. They had a kit made up with exactly what I needed. They sent it out the same day and I will be able to have both quilts done in time for the boys birthdays in September. The compassion and service was amazing and I will be forever grateful! read more

I've been coming here for a few years and this is my favorite shop in town! The staff is friendly and helpful, the parking is great, they even have candy to fortify you while you shop! A really great selection of modern fabric and adding more all the time. read more
