I went there tried the dress on and she asked how far up the hem should be.

Of course I tipped her well because hello she took care of me and I will take care of her! I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family!

Stone Mountain & Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley has a stellar reputation in the sewing world, so I…read morehad to see what all the buzz was about when I was visiting Berkeley last month. While there was definitely a wide variety of fabric, the overall store felt a bit chaotic, cluttered, and unorganized. The upstairs has some discounted bolts but nothing really caught my eye. While browsing, I checked their website and spotted Ruby Star Society's selvedge/letter fabric but of course I couldn't find it in the store, so I had to ask. And while the staff helped, the service was just okay. The selection is decent but I think my expectations were higher given the hype.

I'm trying to go green so instead of buying yearly Christmas wrapping paper, I thought I would make fabric Christmas sacks to be recycled every year with the family. Entering this warehouse, I knew better than to wander around aimlessly, so i asked for help immediately. A very kind sales lady showed me all my choices in all the different rooms. Yep, they had Christmas fabric for me in February along with matching ribbons. I left very happy and got them all for a great price.

This spot feels newer and does not seem to have as much variety/inventory, but it's peaceful and clean! I arrived just before closing but still had time to browse. As the website stated, they don't carry much quilting cotton here but there's a ton of other types of fabric and materials and I bought some vinyl for future sewing projects like pouches and pencil cases. Prices are excellent, the service was good considering I arrived fairly close to closing time, and there's a free public parking lot right in front!

She even let me use a giant table to lay my quilt on and sew when I could not get anything done at home. It meant so much to me, and always will! I have bought so many beautiful pieces of cloth here. Shout out to Sassy thread and dream cotton batting, which is sold here. *chefs kiss* If you are unsure about quilting thread or batting, look no further. Also, the rotating exhibitions here are worth a visit aside from shopping. Bay quilts is truly a community hub for quilters, and anyone who loves to sew in the Bay Area! Come here and enjoy art, make friends, and make beautiful things.

Great quilt and craft store with dedicated and knowledgeable workers. After Joann's unexpected and…read moreundocumented closure, this was the closest fabric store to me. I didn't know what to expect in the random very industrial plaza but the folks there helped me find everything I needed for my son's class project. They don't have all the craft and decorative things that Joann's had (since they really specialize in quilts) but they do have most things you need for sewing and they're open to obtain anything you need for crafts. I don't know how they've survived in their location other than intense quilt enthusiasts but I'm happy I have a location to go to for fabric and sewing needs in the future.

Mena, the owner, took time to check out the jacket and described in detail how the repair could be done. It sounded pretty complicated. Mena reassured us that it could be done. After further discussion, Mena said it would probably be easier if she did it herself instead of explaining how to do it. Without us asking, she volunteered to do the repair for us! It came out perfectly!! Mena was amazing!! What a gem!! There are fabric, sewing, art and school supplies, etc., at the store. She also accepts donations as well. If you're looking for art, crafts, and sewing supplies, go check out the store! You'll be surprised of what you might find!!!

Drove over to fabrix on a Monday and it happened to be the Clement street fair at the exact same time, luckily I found parking really quickly and proceeded to go inside to find my felt and embroidery supplies for the felt ornaments I'd been wanting to make for Christmas this year. I had NO clue what I was looking for and I'm so grateful to the staff for helping me find everything and being patient with me throughout the whole process. It was quiet in the shop at first but quickly became busy, but I honestly didn't mind waiting in line for my turn because the staff gave the same amount of time to me as they did to everyone in front of me in line. I was kind of surprised at how inexpensive the whole purchase was, after she showed me my total, because I hadn't checked the prices of anything. Most of the fabrics was labeled with a price but it's one of those stores that has so much inventory that it's not easy to see the prices of everything if you're someone like me with awful vision and a stubbornness not to get glasses Anyway, I highly recommend this local fabric store!! It's perfect for basically all of your fabric crafting needs!!

I'm mainly comparing to Sacramento (but to be fair, I go to sketchy areas so it's always cheap there). The staff itself is friendly enough. I see a lot of reviews about them being grumpy but it's really just one woman that is but hey she doesn't need to be bubbly and extroverted. She just did her job and that's fine. Not everyone wants to have a conversation with every customer and people just need to realize that. The place is pretty organized and I love that each spool of fabric has their price on it. It's very helpful. I'll probably come back when I'm in the area again and check out their clearance section which was good. Also their buttons are so cheap and I'll definitely but more of those.

While I came for the quilting cotton, I left with a completely different find... I purchased several yards of ripstop nylon for a future DIY stuff sack or lightweight outdoor pouch. The store is so, so large but honestly impressively organized, even with *huge* rolls of fabric everywhere. I loved that they have a public restroom (always a plus when fabric shopping turns into fabric hunting). The prices were excellent and the staff was helpful.
