My mind is blown. When I was a little girl, there were plenty of real fabric stores, but for…read moredecades now I've lived in places where the only option is JoAnn's -- which is better than nothing but not by much. Mill End is GIGANTIC and they have every kind of fabric you can think of -- woolens, silks, athletic fabric, canvas, corduroy (when's the last time you found corduroy in a fabric store?), seersucker, etc etc etc. and they have a HUGE selection of notions -- every kind of zipper, cording, elastic, buckles, buttons... Every employee was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I will be back more often than I should!

I went in for Marine Vinyl. Very limited selection of colors and brands unknown. Staff said "they are basically all the same" which is NOT true. Marine Vinyl brands vary in their attempt to be less toxic. Can't know what I'm buying if the stores don't know. For custom orders, they have gazillions of choices but you have to request a call from the buyer and see if those fabrics are even in stock anymore to purchase. Inventory is just not updated, not well marked, and staff have very limited knowledge. In the upholstery section, the staff TRIED to help but couldn't answer basic questions like "Which upholstery fabrics, other than velvet, won't pill over time." Twill pills like mad. Staff didn't know that. They aren't experts. JoAnn staff didn't know a lot about fabric either but at least it was cheaper. An overhaul would be epic.

This stuff is pricey as heck, but it stands the test of time, so maybe it's a good deal in the end. It's nice to support the history and legacy of Oregon.

I went to the activity last month and while the normal teacher wasn't there, it was a very enjoyable experience. When the activity was posted for this month, I was very excited to attend and meet the normal instructor. The class was from 3:00 to 5:00 and was listed as make this craft for free during this session. I arrived at 2:55 and the instruction for how to sew the project had already been delivered despite the fact that people were showing up for the 3:00 start time. Also the supplies were not provided but the most frustrating part was we weren't even going to make the craft. Everybody was disappointed and the store said everyone who showed up must have misunderstood what was clearly posted differently on their website. It felt like a bait and switch which was disappointing for a company that I had valued so much in the past. The selection in the store is great, but I was left with a sour taste in my mouth from the community crafting class that did not involve any crafting or community. The instructor said all of the information was online so I'm not sure why we even came to the store in the first place.

I bought a lot of fabrics here. Lower quality to be sure, lots of synthetic blends, but if you're…read morenew to sewing or want to experiment with some whacky ideas or prints, or just need something inexpensive for accent/lining in tulle or organza, this is the spot. Most of the items are between $3.50-$5/6 a yard. They also had quite a few options for 4way stretch lace. I got gold satin, a really wonderful cotton blend vintage style floral print, a bright vintage style Hawaiian print, and some gold satin to line a dress. I also got several yards of plain white and plain red cotton blends that are super utilitarian. Basically you can get some fun stuff for the price of muslin. Plus the trims and notions are plentiful and just as cheap. 1/1.50 for zippers... yep! I'll take several thanks. Heck yeah! Would be IDEAL for cosplay fabrics or just costume making in general.

I wasn't to be disappointed, Jeff and Mary are the "real deal" nice, personable and helpful. The rest of the staff is just as friendly as the owners. Beautiful fabrics and what can be better than coffee!! If you need a longarmer for a quilt, Jeff is your man. They have a longarm in the back room and he stays busy back there when he's not helping out in the shop. Mary is knowledgeable and friendly and keeps a lovely stock of beautiful fabrics, notions and patterns for your quilting pleasure. You can even see them at some of the local quilt shows with a smaller selection of fabrics and the same cheerful, helpful service in their booth. If you are interested in making some charity quilts, WillnBeez is a member of the Quilts of Valor quilt shop program. You can join them for meetings, sew groups, kits to make blocks, a place to drop off finished tops and orphan blocks, heck you can even drop off a finished QOV and they will see that it is awarded to a deserving Veteran. Contact Mary if you would like more info on how you can help. Since first going in all those weeks ago, I have had a chance to chat further with the owners and become friends with them. You won't be disappointed.

Although my wife and I are closer to the Gresham Station Hallmark location, we purposefully drive to the one in Clackamas Town Center because of the service. Every time we went into the store, not only do we get the typical greeting you would find at a Hallmark but you can genuinely feel the care from them. There was one instance in particular where my wife and I found the perfect wedding card but couldn't find the right size and color envelope because of cultural traditions we tried to stick with the gold or red colors. Not only did Sabrina's team help us find the perfect envelope, as silly as that sounds but they made it a fun mission!

Her back was to the counter so she didn't see me approaching. Just a FYI...stop staring at the customers. The checkout process was good, she recognized my rewards status and free card promotion and was a very good conversationalist. We learned a lot about each other in the 5 to 10 minute transaction.

While the pick up area wasn't as visible as I would have liked, I appreciated the fact that one of the cashiers acknowledged me and said someone would be over soon.
