    I went yesterday for the first time thanks to a friend's recommendation. This place has every type of fabric, I was there for awhile checking what they had and I bought jersey, cotton, fusible and tule, 13 yards of fabric for $84 total, consider that 6 yards of the cheapest fabric would be $90 in Mood fabrics. So the process are very very good. Kashi attended me. He was the nicest and very helpful. No doubt I'll go back

    $4 poly crepe

    Great collection of fabrics. The people really care about their fabrics. Bought few yards of cottons for $7/yard, few yards of Italian rayon for $8/yard. They have decent poly crepe collection for $4/yard.

    I had to buy a piece of fabric to drape over my bookcase/tv stand to hide all the little things I have in there and I found Metro Textile Corp through Yelp - so glad I did :) I was planning to go to Mood Fabrics initially, but thought I would rush over to Metro Textiles after work (Yelp says they close at 5:30; I got there around 5:20, Kashi was helping a lady and I was out of there by 5:50) to see what they had first. I ended up getting two yards of fabric at $5 each yard (total $10) and it was perfect for what I needed! Kashi was very nice and gave me a hug at the end. They have a lot of fabrics to choose from and Kashi is very personable. The studio is located on the 9th floor, once you get off the elevator take two rights and go straight back.

    Kashi, the proprietor, measures out some ponte for me.

    First of all, the store is randomly located on the 9th floor, but you don't have to sign in at the lobby or anything, just take the elevator up. Turn right down the hall when you get off the elevator. It is worth your while. Listen, Kashi gives the hard sell. You have to put your game face on and be prepared to turn him down and break his heart just a little bit with every "no." But it is so worth it. The shop is tiny, yet somehow seems to have all the inventory you could ever need. Double knit? Available in every color. Wool coating? Traditional colors or a bright novelty weave, he's got you covered. Special occasion laces and sequins? Yep. Easy-to-sew poly knit prints? Sure, why not. Kashi knows his inventory intimately and will magically produce exactly what you're looking for when you ask for it. The prices are more than fair. Silks are around $12-20/yd, wools vary from $15/yd on up to $40 for an incredible double-faced cashmere. The poly knits are mostly $5 and cottons are also on the cheaper end of the scale. Kashi loves visitors, so if you ask really nice he might knock a couple bucks off the price of the piece you really, really want. Just drop by the store the next time you're shopping in the garment district. I promise you'll be hooked.

    On a trip to NYC, I came to Metro to buy material to make curtains for my bedroom that i just re-decorated. I found the best material; I couldn't be happier. It was the perfect color, sheen, weight, pattern, width. The owner was the nicest most helpful person. I also bought some other material that will be great to embroider on. When I looked through his inventory, there were lots of really nice selections. I will definitely go back!!

    Metro Textiles is one of my favorite fabric stores in NYC. Kashi is the owner and he is very gracious and accommodating to his customers. He will help you find whatever your looking for and his prices cannot be beat. I only hope he will be in The disappearing garment district in the years to come as greedy landlords are driving tenants out. Kashi also will ship your fabric for a reasonable price. This place is tops! Please visit him and you will be very happy!

    M&J is one of those garment district institutions that's been around for nearly 90 years. They've…read morealways been one of the larger stores with a very broad assortment of sewing and design accessories--everything from hundreds of ribbons (may thousands), trims, decals, rhinestones, fabrics, supportive inner garment materials, buttons, hair/costume jewelry components, the list goes on. Agree with some other reviews in that it's one of the pricier stores though you pay for the wide variety--hard to beat their selection. The course of time hasn't been kind to local production. Back in the 1820s up until the early 1980s, when mass garment production stateside was booming in NYC, the garment district employed up to 46% of the city's industrial workforce. There was a need to design and purchase materials nearby, and the majority of Manhattan's midtown west side was dedicated to factories and design studios. Fast fwd to now, that statistic is much different and given the availability of online and global sources, not everyone needs to go into a physical store to purchase their needs. While many products have long moved to overseas sourcing, for anyone who's endeavored DIY arts and crafts, or even made any functional product by hand, it's much different seeing and feeling a material in person than on a screen. That's where in this past century, stores like M&J played a vital role in the fabric of the garment district. They are also a valuable resource to the numerous design students at FIT, Parsons, etc. During past decade many a longtime stalwart trim store have disappeared from the neighborhood and M&J is the latest casualty. If you are interested in sewing or design notions, now's your chance to pick up items at their going-out-of-business sale.

    This place has been going out of business for a while, but I'm grateful it's still open. Good place…read morefor velvet ribbons and other notions.

    Omg-I was honestly in heaven here!! Ever since I first saw this particular fabric store on project…read morerunway I've always wanted to go and grace their I aisles !! I can't believe it's literally three floors and row after row of fabric on every type of role there could be possible, trim, glitter, tool, leather, and vegan leather! Then don't even get me started on all the thread, buttons, and home decor! It's enough to make your head spin!! Everything is incredibly organized by section, textures and style of patterns or solids! I was thoroughly impressed and yet so overwhelmed. I spent 45 minutes, just looking at every fabric and touching everything in sight that I couldn't buy a single yard of anything!! There's a cutting station in a couple of different spot spots as well as stairs and an elevator in case you need to maneuver around, but goodness! I could live here and never get tired!! Now that I think about it, I never looked at the prices but one of the fabrics was $24 a yard. It was a soft jersey fabric, so I'm sure it was more expensive. I should've looked up more prices, but honestly, I was just so overwhelmed, and I wanted to walk through each aisle away! There were a number of employees on each floor, helping other people and restocking other fabrics. I didn't want to bother with asking any questions because I was so enchanted with the fabric store itself! I'm so happy to have graced mood fabrics presence in New York, especially since all the fabrics have gone out of business over here on the West Coast in California! I honestly cannot wait to go back and actually buy some fabric! Lol I will definitely be working on some sketches for a dress or something so I can go in to mood fabrics with a game plan besides being overwhelmed by everything! lol

I realized he was right, and he immediately directed me towards a much cheaper fabric that would suit my purposes. Then, I asked his opinion on how many yards he thought I would need. I told him I was thinking 3 or 4, and after taking a look at my skirt, he assured me that 3 would be plenty. He easily could have sold me too many yards of a fabric that was expensive. Instead, he took the time to help me with my individual needs, and did it with a smile. I had a little trouble understanding his accent at times, but whenever I asked him to repeat himself, he was patient with me.

Pricing is mostly as expected, you will pay a few dollars extra per yard as opposed to some of the discount fabric stores. Personally, spending the few extra bucks at B&J is always worth the trade-off because of the smooth and well-designed experience in the store. They stock high-quality materials and I have never been disappointed in something I've purchased. This store goes the extra mile and will provide you with up to (I believe) 15 free samples per visit. Their inventory is extremely well-managed and they put a bar code/ID sticker on each fabric sample they give you. This way, the process is extremely fast when going back to the store to make purchases. The employees can simply scan the sticker from any of the samples and cut you a piece to length. The whole process seldom takes more than 5 minutes once you have decided what you want. This beats the discount stores 10/10 times in my book, because I save so much time that it warrants the slightly higher price. I have not written any reviews for fabric stores because, frankly, my experience has been nearly identical at all of them EXCEPT for B&J. Along with my fabric purchases, I was looking for bag/backpack hardware today which they do not really carry. One of the employees (did not get her name) was kind enough to hand me a printed list of other stores and recommend a couple that would have what I was looking for. She was absolutely spot on, and I got everything else I needed from the other store. I really appreciated the tip, I have not had a comparable experience or been given this level of attention/help at any other fabric shop in NYC.

I used to live in NJ and Staten Island. Some NYC fabric stores don't have adequate websites, but yours is not only adequate, but excellent! The only thing I would add is: care instructions on each product page. I am mystified as to how to launder the cotton guipure lace I purchased, and I conclude that I will do dry clean only to stay way on the safe side. Thanks again!
