I have heard about Discount Fabrics through so many Facebook sewing and quilting groups, so of…read morecourse stopping at their San Francisco location was high on my list as I was passing through the area. 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. If you're a crafter/sewist of any kind, this is a great place for a good deal!

I came here rather than going to a big-box craft store, which I've been wanting to do for a while,…read moreand I was so pleasantly surprised by the selection and by the service provided by the staff! 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!!

Clearly, I am a hack who needs to see, feel, and buy a few yards of athletic mesh to create a useful pocket for my son's sports equipment. Here's why this place is so special. Every person here is an expert in an area of sewing from a zipper to an obscure fabric that can only be used for one thing. They have it. When you call, they actually answer within 3 rings. This is above and beyond service standards these days. The value is in the service, quality, and immediate availability of your find. Pro-tip- -call before your 1st visit; especially, when you need expert guidance -allocate plenty of time here (you won't want to leave) -take public transportation down if possible -ENJOY and have lots of childlike fun

Something for everyone to scratch that creative itch. There's a lot going on here but it's organized by category which is helpful. Also, there's an option to donate here which is always great! Agree with other reviewers that the area doesn't feel the safest and is a bit apocalyptic (barbed fence wires with no one walking around) but I think it adds to the charm of the place. Just don't recommend coming here at night and take an Uber/drive if you can as it's located in an industrial area.

Customer Service needs some serious help. If you are purchasing something small, like buttons or…read morethread, be prepared to wait until everyone who walks in the store that wants fabric is serviced, even if you arrived before them. Smaller purchase = spending less money = not a priority = longer wait. The selection of buttons is very small, and many of the tubes of buttons are down to the last one and haven't been replaced. Strangest of all his the fact that the proprietor, despite selling fabric, doesn't seem to know her fabrics. I brought in a jumper for my daughter, and she kept arguing with me that it was 100% cotton. I explained that it was actually mostly polyester, she said I was wrong. We looked at the tag -- 95% polyester. We are all about supporting small local businesses, but this one could really use some help :/
