I have never been asked if I need help and when I have asked for help I feel like it's an inconvenience to the them. I often feel like there is a little cliche and new comers are not included. The last time I was in I made a large purchase and I had a friend who does not knit with me. Even she made a comment about the poor customer service and lack of interest in the customer.

I have been to the store before. I visited again this past Wednesday and was very disappointed at…read moresome of the discussion that was happening at the back table. The lady teaching a person how to knit was telling the other people at the table that River City Yarns did not encourage people to spend time in the store because there was no place to sit, that they don't wind yarn for people ( this is not true) and some other negative things about that store. I found this to be very unprofessional and disturbing. Bad mouthing another business is not a way to attract customers.

My first trip to Fabricland on Calgary Trail was last weekend. I actually have a sewing machine,…read moreand at one point in time, I had grand ideas of becoming the next Project Runway great. But now it's like the treadmill with clothes hanging off of it - the machine is just sitting in my storage room, waiting for use. I went with my fiance's brother and his girlfriend, who are both much better and more enthusiastic about sewing than me. This place is pretty big - I couldn't believe how far it goes back. The rows of fabric just keep going and going. A lot of the fabrics are your standard grandma florals or the kind of patterns you might find on kids pajama pants, but some of them are really interesting. There were quite a few staff working when we went (on a Saturday) and the sewing duo were happy with their purchases.

I love sewing and designing clothes, and I used to love Fabricland. Wandering the store, being…read moreinspired and buying lots of fabric to make creations with. Now? Not so much. The stores are going steadily downhill, and closing left, right and centre. The stores that are open cater to interior design and quilting, with very little fashion fabric in stock any more. Now, when I need to make something, I pretty much dread the fabric buying practice at this store. Horrible selection, zero stock, no order, dirty stores and staff that just doesn't care. I don't sew nearly as much now, and part of that is due to Fabricland. If you need fabric, do yourself a favour and go a few blocks further to Marshall's Fabrics.

For years, I had no idea there were any options other than Fabricland here in Edmonton, but found…read moreout about Marshall, and had been wanting to get in here for a long time. I don't buy fabric that often, but I happened to be out in this part of town on a Saturday and thought, "Why not?" Years ago, Allan G built me a framed board that I upholstered & added cup hooks to to hang my necklaces in my dressing room on (our 1950s house had NO closet space, so I made one of the bedrooms my IKEA-closeted paradise). However, in my new house, the fabric no longer worked where I wanted to put it. My new bedroom is in silver, gray, and very pale lilac-- sort of Jean Harlow 1930s glamour, so I was looking for some fabric with a nice shimmer or an actual metallic fabric. Found one! Absolutely gorgeous silvery print-- almost like a shantung. My cutter was super friendly and helpful (I can't think in metric). When she asked what I was creating, I had to explain that I had this board, and it was 24 x 26 inches...). When she told me the price I just about fell over, considering the exorbitant prices Fabricland charges. I think I paid around $22.00 for my find. They now have a customer for life, and I'll come back here FIRST before ever spending a dime in another Fabricland.

I really like the new location as there is lots of parking, the store is spacious and bright inside and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The wall on the right side of the entrance changes with difference themes periodically. The store is laid out so there is lots of room to look around without getting in other people's way. The paper is displayed by theme along with stickers and embellishments. They carry some unique papers like printed acetate. Ink, markers, ribbon, stamps and die cuts are located near the back of the store. What I was so excited about was to see stamped images on watercolour paper. There was a selection of different images and greetings for cards, each sheet was $1.79. The images can be coloured with Copic markers, watercolour pencils or aqua painters. You cannot walk in and not buy anything. If you spend over ten dollars and you get one scrap buck which does not expire. They offer Saturday crops as well as the occasional weekend crop.

They had more dies, more stencils and to my amazement they even carried gilding flakes ! The staff are wonderful and friendly. I was also impressed with how good their website is. I spent a fair bit of money there but was very pleased that I was able to buy products that even Michael's doesn't carry such as Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads and the inkers to go with them. The selection of dies to be used with Cuttlebug's, BigShot's etc. are AMAZING ! I LOVE this store!
