I called in and placed an order for curbside service. My mom was making masks to give away, and needed some bright fabric and other supplies. They told me I could come by anytime and park in the designated pick up area. The pick up went smooth and easy and fast. The fabric they choose for my mother was very nice and she loved their choices. A great business at all times, with awesome deals and beautiful fabric, but especially a good business to support during the CV lock-down. read more

I most recently went into Mill End looking for a fabric to reupholster my dining room chairs. While I ended up finding the PERFECT fabric, it took a lot of hunting. As you can see from some of the photos, Mill End has a lot of fabric that will meet all needs you could possibly have. Unfortunately, with a huge selection there is fabric stacked on top of fabric stacked on top of fabric. The rows of thick materials for upholstery were hard to work my way through, it was difficult to see the fabrics, and it was very hard to get a fabric down from the shelf to examine it closer. The lighting in those rows also wasn't the best. Ultimately, I will be going back to Mill End when I need something for a special project. The employees were helpful and the prices are totally reasonable. It just takes too much time and work to sort through everything they have. read more

This is a treasure of a store! We needed some foam to build some box seats for our school bus conversion. We had already been to Joanns fabric and bought something we thought could get us by. Last minute we decided to check here wondering if they had better foam and if it could be cut to size - winner!!!! Yes they hit that mark and were soooooo helpful! We have a wonderful 5 inch sturdy foam cushion for our bench seats and some fabric to cover them. If you need help they are great with suggestions and I wasn't intimidated by my lack of knowledge whatsoever! read more

You need it, they've got it and at a price lower by 60% to Joann. Best place for cotton prints, specialty fabrics, upholstery and all the findings. read more

"AhhhHHH-aaaaaHhh" -angels harmonizing upon entrance I finally made my way here and it.is.amazing. The ladies are super friendly, the prices superb (from my estimate about $2-$5 cheaper than Joanne's). For instance, minky fabric is $10/yd here where as most everywhere else I've ever looked it is is $14.99/yd. they have carts and aisles upon aisles of 3 shelves of fabric. They have the aisles labeled but it is just handwritten signs, nothing fancy here as far as hardplated labels or even computer print outs. But you're getting killer deals on fabric, so the fancy stuff is unnecessary. I walked down every aisle and touched all the fabrics, satins and spandex and flannel and cotton. Then I switched sides and toured the boat vinyl aisles before remembering I don't own a boat. I then traversed the towers of tussles, every type and color of tussle you can think of. I'm a newbie sew-er and it was just so damn much fun. Even at such great prices, it's easy to spend a lot in here. But I also got tons of fabric for tons of projects. It looks like mostly older ladies work the desk and again, old fashioned, hand tabulations and additions, so don't come here in a hurry is the biggest downfall but they are all so sweet and friendly who gives a damn. If you're an avid sew-er or just need something for a small project be sure to check them out before heading to Joanne's or even Walmart (about $1-$3 cheaper than Walmart). read more

Mill End Fabrics - My haul! - Fabric Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I can't believe how wonderful this store is! It's huge and has an amazing selection of fabrics. The first time I went I walked around with a shopping card for a couple of hours because I was enjoying the choices so much. I've never done that before. I don't live in Reno, actually not in Nevada even. But when I travel through the area every quarter I make a special stop and stock up for future projects. Love, love, love it! read more

We love this place. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful with great personalities. Our go-to for our business and primary source for fabrics, supplies, and everything else we need to get the job done and have fun doing it. Thank you for keeping a great environment to shop in and find what we need to help our business grow! read more

A sewing enthusiast paradise! I had heard about this magical place from a friend, and I am so glad I made time in my vacation to visit. My now husband and I eloped and brought some friends to be our witness. I had told them that before we leave Reno we had to stop and visit here so I can experience this place. The guys dropped me and my friend off and we went ham. We went down every aisle in awe looking at all the fabric. We had about an hour before they closed and we went zooming aisle to aisle. This place put our local fabric warehouse to shame. It is so spacious and clean! They have rows and rows of beautiful fabric. They even have a barrel of buttons!!! We regret not exploring that thing because we were on a time crunch. Everything is really affordable. The one thing I loved the most was their applique wall. The staff were really helpful and got me all the appliques I wanted even as they were closing. My friend and I had to wait outside of the building since they were locking up. One of the nice workers who helped us asked if we would be ok since she knew we were tourists. We said the boys were on their way and we can't wait to come back to Reno again to visit :D I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Terrific place, although it doesn't look like it at first, it's well organized and easy to find what you're looking for. An employee climbed up to a second level to bring me several samples of upholstery fabric in the color I was searching for -- I didn't even ask him to look for it, he just offered. I ended up buying three yards of one of the samples at a very reasonable price. Now I know where to go when I need more upholstery fabric and supplies. read more

The employees are very polite and knowledgeable. Incredible selection, and they are often very busy, so you must have some patience. You might be wandering about or waiting in line for a while. Moderately priced. They have gone out of their way to teach me how to and let me use their special tools for my projects. We are very lucky to have this store in town, the chain fabric shops can't touch the expertise and selection here. read more

When you're creating a "schoolie" on a budget, all of the expenses are critical. Our son is doing just that so he can travel the country and our contributions is all of the "soft" goods for the bus. We spent a couple of hours browsing the isles of upholstery fabric, foam, and accouterments. This store has EVERYTHING and the staff will help you find exactly what you need/want. 40 yards of fabric, foam cushions, thread, batting.....just EVERYTHING we needed for the interior of this wonderful new touring machine! Thanks for the wonderful help ladies. Thanks for the great input on choices and many, many thanks for helping us find exactly what we wanted! read more

Oh my! I absolutely love this place! My mom showed it to me years and years ago when I was about 10-12 years old when I really got into sewing. This place has it all! They have such a huge selection of fabric. It doesn't matter if you are making a button down shirt, a fancy princess dress, recovering a chair, making curtains or putting together a quilt this place has you covered. And they also have a large selection of foam for all your project's needs. They have all the notions that you will need for your projects. Patterns, buttons, zippers, thread, scissors, bias tape... you name it they will have it. They best part is that they are fairly priced. And the staff is very knowledgeable in their products and how to use them. read more

Mill End Fabrics, a seamstress and DIY upholsterers's dream. They have a plethora of fabrics, notions and foam/batting to choose from. On this visit I was there to purchase foam batting as we were redoing a couple of springs on our couch, but had to rip it apart and replace the foam and batting to get to the springs. Mark greeted me upon entering the store and helped me find the correct foam and batting I needed. He was very knowledgeable and surprisingly knew exactly what section of the store to find everything I was looking for. Their pricing is quite comparable if not a little cheaper than other fabric stores in town. Customer service on my visit was great, but I could see how it could easily get backed up here on busy days with only 2-3 people working the store. It can be a pretty overwhelming store with floor to ceiling fabrics if you come here unprepared. Come with an idea of what you are looking for and ask Mark or the other sales people to help you if you are overwhelmed. Worth a visit if you are in need of some fabric or upholstery supplies. read more

Mill End Fabrics - Fabrics galore! - Fabric Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

As a "DYI"er, I find myself at this store constantly. The prices draw you in and the selection is endless. I have been working on a camper conversion with the hubs and after heavy researching on the internet, we end up wondering around the selections of discounted fabrics and supplies. It's always changing but they keep up to date with everything we needed. They have a knowledgeable staff that is friendly and will give advice. if you are a novice like I am, it is much appreciated. Highly recommend over the two other hobby stores I've been in and always leave happy and meeting by budget. read more

Mill End Fabrics - Fabric Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Wonderful old world charm and service! Makes my heart happy to have found such lovely , helpful and honest people!

Amazing store. Make sure you are well rested and have had a snack before you go. This store is huge and it takes a while to work your way through the whole place. Great source for foam padding, leather, and unique fabrics for costuming. read more

Love, love, love this place. Excellent selection of textiles, and prices low enough to bring a happy smirk to the face of any dollar-conscious customer: even the quality velvets are at the lowest price-point I've ever seen. The staff is comprised of experienced ladies, expect very civilized conversation with individual areas of expertise. For clarification of my own shopping habits: in San Francisco I shop at Britex (knowing moths will fly out of my wallet at the end of the day), and in Reno I go to Mill End. read more

If you sew or quilt, you must visit this amazing warehouse store. The prices are considerably less than most places. Great selection of needles, notions, etc. Give yourself plenty of time. read more

Amazing place. I could spend all day creating projects. If you're looking for textiles and anything upholstery you need to go there. Prices are reasonable and quality fabrics. read more

This place has EVERYTHIG you need for any sewing project. The Staff are so helpful and want your business not to mention the cheap prices. Will never go to to the chain stores again for any of our sweing needs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MILL END FABRICS read more

Mill End is fantastic. Every kind of fabric and notion you can think of. I have shopped here for outdoor fabrics, Velcro, nylon buckles and fittings... The folks here are knowledgeable and friendly. And they can help you figure out what you need and how to best handle the job. I went in today because a snap broke on my snow pants. I tried to fix it myself, but realized I would need to buy a snap setting tool for $20. Turns out they helped me find the $.40 in parts I needed, and helped me set it using their tool. Where else can you find what you need, and get help fixing it, for $.43? Thanks Mill End! read more

This place is ridiculous!!! That is the only word I can use to describe it. More fabric and notions than you could ever imagine all under one roof. Every type of fabric you could possibly ever want for any project. They have multiple different types of vinyl tablecloth fabric on huge rolls or rows and rows of camouflage fleece. Maybe tulle is more your speed or heavy fabric for curtains, believe me they literally have it all. Chances are you're looking for bright colored faux fur to decorate for Burning Man, they had more to choose from then I thought even existed. It's set up as a huge warehouse, but it's well organized and easy to navigate. Plan on dedicating a decent amount of time to wander through all the amazing finds on fabric you never knew you couldn't live without! The prices are excellent and service is friendly and knowledgeable. Obviously the people that work there sew (they work there to support their fabric addictions I'm sure!) and they're always willing to offer some helpful advice. If you're crafty or like to sew this place needs to be in your rotation! read more

Yay, once again my mom found this little hole in the wall... NOT SO LITTLE, it is huge, we didn't see everything in there but now that I go a sewing machine again, WE WILL BE BACK MANY TIME... Friendly help also... read more

This is my go-to store for all my sewing needs. The prices are great and competitive to other discount fabric stores in the Bay Area and online. The workers there are always willing to help you find something, call the Carson store, or suggestions on your project. Often when they cut your fabric and the fabric is damaged or stained, they will cut extra for you so you can work around it. Like I mentioned before, prices are great here. Cheapest zippers in town if you are willing to hunt for them. Thread is cheap and okay selection. Needles and other notions are lesser than Joanns or Hancock. While the store has been in flux for the last year re-organizing and moving fabrics, they have made it a bit easier to find stuff. However I'm here a LOT so the firs time you are there it will be rather confusing. Just ask for the location of what you are looking for or read the end cap signs. The downside of this place is if you find something you love buy way more then you think you will need. For when a fabric is gone, chances are you will never see it again. It's nice to have rotating selection, but sucks if you run out of a fabric and they don't have anymore. They do have a few items they always carry, but in general act like you will never see that fabric again. On the plus side, you can find some really unique or vintage fabrics here. You never know what you will find when you walk into this place. read more

I love the prices! Quilting cottons go for around $5 per yard, more or less. The selection is great. This place is literally wall to wall of fabric. The best part of all is the clearance and scrap bin. Scraps are $2 per pound. I was shopping for fabric to make cloth diapers and baby wipes and found everything I needed in the scrap bin - lots of cotton knit, terry cloth, flannel, etc. This is a great place to shop! They prefer not to take credit or debit cards for transactions less than $15, so bring cash or spend a bit more to make their merchant fees worthwhile. read more

This place is great but it would be SO much better if it was organized! Be prepared to spend a lot of time searching for what you are looking for - it's overwhelming the number of rolls of fabric that are shoved into every nook and cranny of this warehouse. I have been lucky here before but this past visit I couldn't find anything close to what I was looking for. Their prices on foam are great though! read more

Such great service! I wandered looking for cotton in blue, maybe grey, for a project for my wedding. I explained what I was looking for and what I was doing I got to the desk (with several rolls in my hand ready to pay) and they brought me to the back to find this $2/yard fabric!!! So amazing! Probably the best fabric store I've ever been to! read more

I can't tell you how much I love this store. They have a great selection and prices are fair. What you can create is only limited by your imagination at Mill End! Staff is caring and knowledgeable! read more

Can always find that hard to get fabric, notion or foam. Don't expect a lot of help from the employees . Make sure you have patience to walk down the huge stuffed isles of every kind of fabric and materials . read more

I visit every time I come to town ! They have a great selection of fabrics! I love the cotton section and it's all under 6$ a yard!

No other choice but 5 stars for this fabric store. When you walk in the door you might go into shock by the plethora of fabrics, accessories and notions. Not only do they have everything you need but the service is impeccable - they are there to help in any way they can. I can't wait to go back! read more

I shopped here, twice 2 summers ago. I purchased a fab, blue and gold cotton velvet jacquard and a peach, pink in the same design. All upholstery grade. The proprietor was very knowledgeable, and must be a great guy to work for. In fact I told him if I moved to Reno I'd like to work for him. Huge inventory and very well organized! I wish I'd had a whole day there to take it all in. I spent about $300.00. Greetings to the owner and his staff. ‍ read more

This is my go to source for fabric, trim, and foam! I have used them for everything from a boxed cushion sofa to dog leashes! The assistants are so professional and careful in their cutting of foam, that I could do no better if I did it myself. They carry Sunbrella fabrics fora bargain price at $10/yd which suited my patio budget just fine!their prices on leather hides are fantastic, too. And, take the time to look through their home dec trims, which make trimming your pillows and curtains, very affordable! Lovely staff who, clearly, have technical and creative backgrounds! Always my first choice for any textile related project! read more

OMG!! I could spend days in here. I probably will when I get my sewing machine out. No pattern support but I have plenty. If you're a quilter you'd probably think you died and went to heaven. I wish I had visited this shop when I needed fabric to make some curtains. They have a ton of fabric of all kinds!!!! read more

All fabric fiends like myself should avail themselves of the Mill End experience! This place is amazing- chock full of fabrics, notions, decorative trims, patterns, upholstery supplies (foam), honestly anything related to home decor or costuming or industrial projects. I get lost in here (happily) as I wend my way down aisle after aisle of choices. I can't even count how many projects owe their origins to Mill End. The staff are helpful and responsive and efficient. It reminds me of fabric shops of old in NY where I would go as a kid and spend hours searching & planning for my next creative adventure . Did I say how much I love this store?! It's one of a few left in the country, seriously. If you're into fabric creations-GO!! read more

AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!! On a recent visit to purchase a new zipper for my 20 yr old jacket because my old one broke off,I needed a #8 size zipper in which they had to order,no big deal so when it arrived the following week,the lady actually installed it for just the cost,something like 87 cents!!!! Please patronize this place just because of their kindness.The're VERY NICE too! read more

I love to sew and have visited both the Carson City and Reno locations often. I love the selection, the fantastic customer service and the prices. They beat Jo-Ann on almost everything and its not a big box store! I will forever be a Mill End fan and tell everyone to go there and give them your business. read more

This place has ALL kinds of hard-to-find fabrics and sewing supplies, including a vast assortment of nylon webbing and associated buckles, clasps, and straps for making packs and bags. Seriously, you could outfit an army in this place. GREAT for Burning Man accessories! read more

Love the staff here and enjoy finding so many hidden treasures (fabrics and notions)!

Amazing place full of anything you can imagine that involves fabric and upholstery! The staff is wonderful and so helpful. You could basically get lost in there it's so big. It completely opens up ideas to get creative and make it happen! I also believe the prices are great and extremely competitive! read more
