On one side of the shop, they have fibers, floss, beads, etc. The other side has piles and piles of fabric, neatly arranged. In the middle, it's patterns (and some notions) as far as the eye can see. I found their selection to be very complete, and the employees were particularly delightful! It probably helped that it was a slick, snowy day, and they were impressed I had come by, since nobody was really on the streets at all. Some highlights: - I overheard one of the salespeople organizing a sale via the phone, so their online and "phone it in" orders seem robust. She said the order would go out in the mail that day, and I saw her taking a good amount of time to choose the couple of fabrics that would most closely match the customer's request, and give a recommendation as to which one the customer would actually buy. - To illustrate fabric count, they had a wall hanging of the same design stitched on four differently-sized fabrics, which was neat - They had lots of finishing supplies to help even the most indecisive person figure out how they want to finish - Their store models obviously came from years and years of stitching, so I imagine the collective knowledge in the store was pretty impressive. So if you're into needlework, it's worthwhile to check out. Especially if you're from Chicago it's worthwhile to make the short trip.

We were recommended to the Frame Shop (formerly the Frame Factory) and Matt Bean by a local artist…read moreand dealer. We had a large photograph which was over 100 years old. We wanted to frame and hang it in our home. We spoke to Matt and explained what we would like to do. We showed him the photograph and he proceeded to make suggestions on the frame style and color, mat color and thickness, the type of glass as well as decorative edging on the mat. Yes there is different types of glass and thicknesses of mats that can make a difference. After several days, Matt sent a picture to me on my phone showing what it would look like for our approval. It wasn't inexpensive but it turned out to be exquisite and just what we envisioned. The professionalism, ability to turn our ideas and vision into reality and the timing took a talented artist and framer's mind to do all of this. Yes you could get it done cheaper but not the way this photograph turned out. We are to say the least pleased.
