I recently moved to the West Hartford area and needed a lot of fabric for new home projects. I had…read morebeen going to Ehrlich Decorating & Upholstery in Hartford and was beyond pleased with their selection; their customer service was also top notch. But there was a specific fabric I couldn't find at Ehrlich's so I had to go looking for another source. Mila had MUCH more fabric on hand. They also have a lot of fabric you can order - about the same amount as Ehrlich's, but different kinds. After spending months (literally) trying to find a specific fabric at Ehrlich's, Jo Anne's, etc, I found it in 15 minutes at Mila. The only downside to Mila is that the owner (I presume) lacks social grace and customer service skills. I found him to be pushy and incredibly condescending (and not just to me). I also had the distinct feeling he was rushing me and trying to avoid having to place a custom order. He's the type, you know, who is always right and you're an idiot. I hate those types! I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the owner. If you're looking for a robust alternative to your usual fabric/upholstery place, try Mila, but try to work with one of the women. Hopefully they won't roll their eyes at you...

First let me say that i have shopped at Milas for a long time. Harvey the owner has done this his…read morewhole life following after his father. He came from a time I remember when people relied on the expertise of the owner who knew their business before the mass market stores. He is a know-it-all because he does! Try to find anyone at Joanns who knows anything about home dec. I have been a seamstress for 40 years and there has never been a time that he steered me wrong or didn't know the answer to my dilemma. He may not be smooth but I know that he is doing his best for every customer. If you want the right fabric for the right job and want it done right. You can count on Milas. The ladies he has there are not just clerks they all have extensive experience and are very helpful.

BEWARE!! To quote my daughter ( the bride) "the worst part of her entire wedding was dealing with…read moreCreative Notions" for the past 11 months. Rachel is in way over her head. She does not have the expertise to add sleeves or a chest drape to her $7000 wedding dress, which my daughter requested almost 11 months ago. One week before her wedding she still didnt have the dress. The list is soooo long- missed deadlines- my daughter would send her email with everything expected to be completed at the next visit and nothing ever was. Rachel bought WHITE satin for sleeves and drape for an off white dress. GLARYINGLY different color! She ended up cutting off the dress train to create sleeves from as one month before the wedding there was no other choice to match fabric. The dress was stained - twice- while at the shop - and Rachel and her mother tried to gaslight my daughter that they were there all year? We had full length photos of the dress from 2 weeks prior with no stains or marks. Terrible communication- promises made- never fulfilled- timelines not met over and over - my daughter could not even wear her dress and had to buy a new dress on line 5 days before the wedding and get it rush tailored! On top of this we paid $800 in alterations and got nothing but headaches- anxiety and grief. There are several other reviews just like this from other brides. I beg of you- if you want professional - expert service other than a button sewed on- GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
