I usually don't give anyone 5 stars, because we've traveled all over and knows what 5 star service is. This time, I will give this store 5 stars for: 1. Person in-person, Jane I believe that was her name, my husband called her Jane, then I stopped and told her that was my middle name! Was attentive, knowledgeable, helpful, offered suggestions, walked from one department to another, took her time with us (patiently, even stood there while I searched for photo of people I'm giving my 'flowers' to. I didn't feel rushed, stressed, and she understood my feeling, and was friendly. She wasn't the person, I talked to on the phone. I'm glad, because the lady on the phone felt like: it was a task/chore to answer my question, to her, she really shouldn't go from Bridal department to another department, to answer my question. I probably left there, if I didn't find something else, if I had to face her. Not deducting because of this. I'm just happy, that I got the fabric, the amount I needed, and the color I wanted! Jane gave me a special price, because it was the last yards from the bolt, it didn't have a price/label/tag, and I wasn't about to leave without that fabric. I wanted it yesterday, and I need it today, and it's a long drive back home, wasn't about to return. SO HAPPY! read more

The selection is ok. There is one particular employee who is extremely rude and never wears their name tag so I cannot get the name. But she's a tall bigger lady with a wrist brace. Terrible customer service. She makes you feel guilty for even being there. Her attitude definitely needs to be addressed. read more

Great selection of fabrics and additional items you might need for a sewing project. I had some good finds in the remnants bin, definitely a nice place to go for supplies year round. read more

Great selection and good service. My daughter and I visited there a while back and were happy to so many choices in quality fabric.

Out if stock on just about everything. Terrible CS too. Staff was mostly uninterested in meeting my needs.

My daughter drove down from Washington to find an upholstery shop - the service was great, fabric selection was good and they also had a complete selection of upholstery tools to equip her for her project. She also received helpful instructions and we appreciated the time and consideration to her needs as a novice do-it-yourselfer. read more

The selection is fine and some of the staff are nice but in general this store is just plain unfriendly. A few of the staff are actually rude and act put upon if you ask for anything. read more

After visiting the store in Milwaukee we had to visit this one. Okay so the other one was a tad bigger but this place is still huge. Lots of bolts of fabric to check out. Great store and we obviously will return. read more

They have an amazing selection but the customer service is very much hit or miss. Good luck if you need to order something though - what you see is probably all your are going to be able to get. They do have some stunning fabrics though. read more

I will admit that I am a fabric-holic, and this place is heaven. I think you can find just about anything there! The staff members are friendly and helpful.

This is like going through a time warp zone. While when you know that the facade of the building is odd and dark, you still go in cause you know, your adventure is just about to start. I almost sneezed when I went in. I think it's the textiles that made me do it. It is overwhelmingly odd and it smelled old. It's like a time lapse from your life to your grandma. Your life of cotton and polyester shirts to veils and satin cords. You'll see your childhood printed fleece fabric to some plaids and prints to something weird and sequined. Combine that in a stretchy fabric and you are ready to party! They also have fabrics for serious people. Wools, pinstripes, plaids, and other suit patterns are present in the store. Not your entire scene? They have a small selection of denim and faux fur for you too. If you feel the need to wrap your house in fabric, they have drapes and upholstery section to cater to your need. I wasn't lucky enough to see the fabric and pattern that I like but you might! I think that this is not the store for me and what I like. They mostly have plain and floral pattern. I find it too stuffy and traditional. I tend to like it as it falls on still, being classic. As far as service is concerned, I did not have any as I went in like a hurricane and left unnoticed. I did not need any today but a cute old lady say hi to me. read more

Mill End Fabric Store - We have camouflage sequined fabric for your fancy gala poetry reading event. There's also faux fur for your winter formal soirée - Fabric Stores Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I have frequented this store for just a few months and find not only great customer service, but an amazing variety of fabrics that I use for personal and business uses. I enjoy wearing silks (daily and formal), knits (fitness and daily wear), cottons (comfort, kids, crafts) and wools (cold weather). I'm a costume designer for several schools and have purchased synthetic leathers, feathers, tons of trim and notions (some difficult to find), furs, etc. I made about 6 denim aprons for last Christmas when they had denim on sale. There was even a large piece of leather that was perfect for repairing settee pillows. I also found the perfect quilted fabric to repair a jacket lining, water-proof fabrics for outdoor wear, furniture, and covers, etc. Yes, a bit pricey, but this is my one stop shopping/'go to' for needs. 'saves me loads of time! read more

Not sure why some bad reviews. Been here just twice, as I just found this place, when I was searching for fabric and trim store! This store is amazing and has so much choices even for difficult to find items. Both time I was there, had great help, and they were super friendly. Last time stopped there due specific fringe trim, their other store head or, so they had to bring them over for me to get it at this here... saved me drive to Milwaukee! Thank you. This will be my go to place, definitely way better and cheaper then Joanne fabric store read more

I have been these people's customer for 10 or more years until today. Today, I am done with this business and I hope you are too. Yesterday I bought a piece of remanent at this store. I took it home. I look at what I got and it has a HUGE hole in the middle of it. It really irked me. The next day I took it back to the store where I spoke to the "manager" who promptly reminded me that it was not returnable. I pointed to the hole. The store clerk, let's call her the "Karen", interjected by saying that it was her who wrapped that piece and it was marked with a hole. Well stupid me, I thought that there would a hole in the fabric. I didn't know that there was an 8" circle cut out in the exact center of the remanent, efectively rendering it useless. She said It was NOT their fault. I said that I am not returning but complaining. At this point, the direction of the conversation changed to about me being the "rude" one. The store manager suddenly claimed that I was being rude. The Karen, upon hearing that bit, exclaimed "I will call the police!" And, she did! Now being non-white, with a scruff on your face, dealing with a Karen is difficult. I know. So, I dropped that fabric there and scurried out. The most amazing thing about the people that work there, was the efficiency they pushed a customer's grievance under the rug by effectively eliminating them. I went there again to pick up the remanent. The Karen was already calling the police as she saw me and my daughter walk in. I found out from the manager that a no trespassing against me has been filed against me (boy, they waste NO time!). Sincerely and this is a true account by which I stand. read more

This place has THE WORST customer service. I went in to support a small, local business, but from now on I'm gonna shop elsewhere. The manager here is rude and impatient with customers. read more

Only good is easy parking and selection Not well organized Overpriced Employees are not friendly and certainly not helpful Employees would rather sit around and talk to each other (3 of them) while I'm standing there feeling like an idiot I'd rather go elsewhere read more

I was able to get a lot of specialty notions and fabrics all in one stop for making my halloween costume this year. I was a Playboy bunny, so I needed flexible steel boning, fusible web, strong no-stretch lining fabric, bias tape, polyester/silk fashion fabric, eyelets and an eyelet fastener, ribbons, and a couple other things. The women behind the counters were all extremely helpful pointing me to the different sections where I could find everything I needed. I recommend going for special occasion fabrics. Though it wasn't what I was there for, I took a look through their other apparel fabric sections and I wasn't *as* impressed with their selection of other types of apparel fabric. Your results may vary depending on what you're looking for and your personal style... and maybe by the day. From the other sections I got the vibe that this was kind of a TJ Maxx/Marshalls of a fabric store. You know, the kind of place where you never find what you're looking for, but if you're just there to look you'll likely find something you like that you didn't know you were looking for. read more

Their fabric is old and tired. It's hard to tell if it's new stock, stuff that's been there 18 years or not even first quality. They do have a lot of fabric though. I went there about 35 years ago and found it depressing. With Fabric Depot closing, thought I'd give Mill End another chance Still depressing and a feeling of "on the cheap" - No bags - not even paper - so if you buy silk on a rainy day you are out of luck. Or if you buy a dozen small items - no bag. They say they honor one Joann's coupon - but only at 20% no matter what Joann's coupon is. So they use someone else's advertising. They are supposed to give you a discount on supplies for classes taken the attached sewing center - but won't do it the day or so before. If your class starts early - you are out of luck with a discount - but most likely you'll get to the counter and the polite person who is there to check you out will tell you - "Oh- except for that item - our policies are laid out here - as she points to a counter full of rules and regulations under glass. The building is drab, poor lighting and the poor sales staff have to cut with dull scissors - it's painful to watch - not to mention what it does to the fabric. And, they are overpriced. While it is nice to actually feel the fabric before purchasing it for some projects - for most - online or a drive to another city is a good idea. I was charged $36.99 for fabric that I later found for about 50% less - same stuff. Oh - and severely understaffed. Buyer beware - and take your own bags. read more

Worst Management Customer Service EVER! I WON'T SHOP THERE EVER AGAIN! I will drive across town to FABRIC DEPOT WHICH IS SO MUCH BETTER! I bought a remnant yesterday. The very nice employee cut it and I was a little concerned that she didn't take a little extra effort to make sure it was straight. I got home and cut my first piece out (small table so I couldn't set all the patterns out first...but I've done this a million times and I keep it very tight). So, you guessed it, it was short! It also wasn't cut evenly so I lost some that way as well. I go to the store to ask them to GIVE me that last 1 yard left of this remnant. There is only one yard and I felt that if I've already paid for the amount I needed, they should make a good will effort and just give me the last yard. We're talking $6. THEY SAID NO. I was very calm and nice and made my case again. They told me it was my fault for not getting more fabric than the pattern required. (I usually do but they would have required me to buy the last yard not just 1/8 more). The pattern showed quite a bit of free space too. I've been a long time customer. The manager wouldn't come out and talk to me. My daughter is taking sewing lessons as I write this. I've spent a ton of money there. I am worth $6. They not only lost a customer, they lost a customer who will tell her story to her friends. I hope they learn from this. read more

This place is like a fabric Mecca to me. Pretty much everything you could want at a fabric store and more, quilting cottons, batiks, all types of fabric for clothing, upholstery fabric, and even some high quality laces and stretch sheers for use in underwear and lingerie that you won't see at any Joann's type of fabric store. But the REAL awesomeness is at the back of the store...that's right...walk to the back...i know its a big store, walk ALL the way back there, you can do it. There you will find flat folds, remnants, and discontinued fabric at amazing discounted prices! You can't really look through this section having anything specific in mind, but keep your eyes open and you are sure to find something crazy, cheap, and great. Remnant of dark purple fun fur? Sure, that will make a great hat or purse! Blue and pink argyle flannel? Pajama bottoms! Striped and tie dye jersey? Awesome funky colored tshirts! So many possibilities back in this corner. read more

They claim to have the biggest display of fabrics in America. That's quite a statement to make, but they certainly do have an amazing variety of cloth. The staff is amazing here-- helpful and attentive and willing to work with you. I came in with a vision and little idea of how to execute it, and I couldn't have been more pleased with how great everybody was. I found what I was looking for and spent exactly as much as I'd walked in expecting to spend. They stock everything from curtain and upholstery fabrics, vinyl and velvets and silks, to your basic calicos and canvases. Walking through their massive store, I saw TONS of great stuff that makes me want to create fabulous clothing and bags. Their selection of ribbon made me wish I has more things to do that involve ribbon, and that I had a large enough budget for it (it can be expensive!) I'll definitely be back soon. read more

This is second best fabric store in the Portland metro area behind Mill End's mother ship store in Portland. Great selection of fabric, very helpful staff. They even take time to explain fabric to a guy. Best of all they actually talk to the a guy about fabric instead of talking to the woman that is with them. Okay, I'll admit I'm a closet tailor and the clothing I made look as if it was created by Picasso. At least the dog doesn't complain about the jackets. read more

I made the mistake of going to this Mill End after visiting the flagship shop in Milwaukie. In comparison, the Beaverton shop does not stock as much Pendleton fabric or have a yarn section. However, given the reduced shop space, the variety of fabric is comparable to a large Jo-Anns. Of course, unlike any Jo-Anns, Mill End does carry high end materials such as waxed cotton and thinsulate. Overall, a great fabric shop close to Portland. Notes: Plenty of parking and adjoined to a Montaville Sewing read more

hmmmmm over priced items served up by little old women that looked and acted as though she would rather be bathing a cat than to help the little redhead wearing black. I was trying to find a couple of quick things to finish up a project I was working on and yea I am sure the rest of the store had lots of items worth viewing a second time... however.... with the lack of help I received and the way I was treated I will go else where in the future read more

Stopped in to the Beaverton location for the first time ever. We use to live by the other one out in Milwaukie and enjoyed going there, but have since moved. I really appreciate their wide selection of fabrics, I can always find what I am looking for. The staff is friendly and helpful. In particular, we worked with Joan this week on cutting our fabric. She was so kind, helpful, and support of our fabric projects. read more

Went in to purchase upholstery fabric at the Beaverton store. The store was virtually empty and there were 2 young people standing at the cash register while I wandered around. They never asked if I could use any help and I honestly did not know that they worked there. I finally sought the woman when she walked away from her conversation and I could see her badge. She took me over to the area of the material but knew nothing about any of it. She went to go get the other person she had been chatting with and he came over. Again, did not know anything about the material and said that most people come in knowing exactly what they want. Sooooo, I left. It was humiliating to be treated so poorly. read more

There's a reason this store isn't doing well. The customer service is horrible. I've had employees make mean comments about the fabric I chose. Because, that's super professional to criticize the stuff that YOUR store carries. Today, someone told my child to "stop running" -- because he's 2 and barely moving his feet faster than a walking pace and not disturbing anything. I didn't even bother giving them my business at that point and immediately walked out. read more

Amazing supply of fabric. It could overwhelm someone accustomed to small store. High quality. Includes some yarn (see the very cute white mohair baby booties. I have found the people there very knowledgeable. A favorite place in Portland read more

I was very irritated by one of your employees. I asked her where I could find the woven Lycra, she told me it's everywhere. That was fine. I asked her where the "Knitted Lycra" was then she laughed at me looking down on me and said "such thing doesn't exist". She is wrong! There are 2 categories of Lycra. "Kitted" and "Woven". Common regular Lycra stricture is knitted. She should have known who she was talking to. She just embarrassed herself. It was very upsetting. read more

CLOSES BEFORE STATED CLOSING TIME! I was not the only customer standing outside at 5:25pm with the doors locked and the employees shrugging there shoulders. Yelp says they close at 6pm, the sign at the door says they close at 5:30pm yet doors are locked at 5:25pm. Unreliable business. Shopping else where. read more

This store no longer carries patterns, as well, they don't restock notions. I don't understand their philosophy on not stocking patterns.

I've shopped here for years. I used to come for sales or odd things you might not find elsewhere. The Beaverton location had some fabric choice but nothing fancy until the last year or so. It has increased in quantity and quality. It's so much better. If you haven't been in a while you should try it again. Thanks for the improvement so nice! read more

I used to go to the location out on Milwaukee but I find that the Western Avenue location has a better inventory ( specifically upholstery fabric)as of recently. The staff are so friendly and really help me decide what's going to be the best material for the project I'm working on. Prices are a bit high and I wish they did more sales or coupons but they truly carry some high quality fabrics. Still, more coupons or sales would be nice. read more

Terrible customer service. I had a question and went to the service counter but the employees just stood around talking to each other about their personal lives for over 10 minutes. read more

Okay selection, okay prices, blah service -- not a single employee greeted me even when I gave one a warm smile that said HELLO I LOVE FABRIC CONVINCE ME TO BUY STUFF. Seriously, three gals up front, two wandering the floor, one behind the cutting counter, yet nothing. My first time in and given the lack of care and reception from the staff, I will be doing my fabric shopping elsewhere and getting the prints I liked here online instead. I wanted to like you! read more
