    they have parking right out front on the street and there is an elevator. I loved how they have fabric and yarn.

    The shop was really nice and had a great vibe to it, everything was organized and great lighting. I brought in my broken duffel bag to ask for advice and materials to fix it, and the workers were very comprehensive and patient with questions. They recommended tools and materials perfect for the job, along with the best way to do and now my bag is fixed with some great colorful straps they recommended!

    You can find Sew to Speak nestled away off in a tiny shopping plaza in Clintonville. It's an unassuming location for one of the hippest fabric shops in Columbus. They stock unique fabrics, patterns and books by the trendiest designers along with sewing machines, and accessories. They also offer in-store sewing space and classes for all skill levels. Given the current trend toward DIY home items and clothing, Sew to Speak is a huge asset for Columbus. You can stay ahead of the curve by buying super-cool fabric here and then letting the staff teach you how to make rad things with it!

    I'm completely in LOVE!!! All the fabrics in here have a 60s Mod print. Floral, solids, simple designs... And I love the bold, bright colors!! I noticed several fat quarters I liked, also. Best part or this establishment? 60s music playing over the speakers!! I'm hooked :)

    I wish I had thousands of dollars to spend on all of the amazing fabrics here--but don't worry, if…read moreyou're like me and you're broke, you can still get great stuff at Fabric Farms. First, if you're looking for upholstery stuff--metal tack strips, cardboard tack strip, dacron, etc--this is the place to go. I got all of the odds and ends I needed to reupholster a chair at a really good price. They also have foam and other upholstery basics. They also have some pretty decently-priced fabric, but there's a LOT, and you have to sort through it all. Some of the stuff on rolls in the back seemed to be lower-priced than the samples toward the front of the store--but upholstery fabric isn't cheap anywhere you get it, so. If you're new to buying upholstery fabric, expect to spend upwards of $30 - $50 a yard for many fabrics. If you're making cushions, definitely hit this place up because you can get fabric samples for $1 - $5; these samples are big enough to be the face of a large cushion, and you can get some really nice samples. I got three great patterns that I'm going to make into cushions with some neutral (cheaper) fabric on the back. I also got really great service. The gentleman who helped me was really nice and pleasant, and very genuine. I will definitely be going back when I have projects to do.

    Communication was originally great! When construction completion timelines changed and meetings…read moreneeded rescheduled, the responses dwindled and eventually, I received no reply at all. I've now made three, maybe four, additional attempts to make contact, sent multiple emails with photos and measurements, and have not even received the courtesy of an email telling me to take a hike, and that there is no interest in completing my project - Which would be fine, as I understand that it was my team that caused the delay. However, it seems like a good business practice to at least reply to a request for service, even if you aren't interested in providing it.

    Very helpful and answered my questions with authority. Now I know they can fix old sewing machines…read moreas well

    While they have a nice selection of fabric, the customer service is terrible when it comes to…read moremachine service. The staff never knows when the technician will be in, when the machine will be done, or if he has even looked at it yet. The technician says that he does one thing when it is evident that he has not. Multiple times I have brought my longarm machine home after being "cleaned" and "fixed" only to have the same issues. And I have clearly seen that the machine was not cleaned. I live an hour away and when I call to let them know that the issue was not fixed, the answer is "bring it back in" (2 hour round trip). Most recently, and the last straw, was after bringing my longarm in for a cleaning and being told that I was "first in line", there was no communication about the machine and when I would call, the shop tells me they don't know when he will be in and when he was last in. Then, a week later I called to check on the status of the machine and they say it is ready for pickup. When I got there, it was not ready, but he said I can "finish it" at home. After following his instructions, the machine still did not work properly. He then stated that it would need a $700 part (mind you, the machine was not even in the shop at that time). After spending hours on the phone with the HandiQuilter tech line, I decided I would need to find another dealer. The new dealer opened the machine up and it looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in years (he sent me pictures). The tech said he has never seen a machine that bad. So, it appeared that the $300 that Red Rooster required that I pay upfront for the machine "cleaning" never got done. I will not be going back and will never recommend this shop to anyone else.

    Are you creative and love a hands-on activity? Then bring your group of friends or coworkers to AR…read moreWorkshop. Book ahead so you have time and space to do your projects. Various projects available on their website to purchase ahead of your visit. This allows the staff to prep your station prior to your arrival. This location is off high street in Worthington with parking in front and plenty behind the shop with a short walk. Our group brought our own champagne and mixers to make mimosas along with muffins. They allow wine, beer and champagne along with your own food. Not a lot of room to set up a spread but nice enough to have at or near your workstation to sip and graze. The staff is friendly and eager to help. (Shout out to Erin and Stacy) Some people in our group made signs, a tabletop and I opted to make a pillow cover. Each project had a custom stencil that was ordered and made prior to our arrival. What I learned was NOT to move ahead of your project prior to getting guidance or assistance. There could be a possibility you make a mistake or miss a crucial step that messes things up. Don't be afraid to ask for help or get tips and how-to's from the staff. We had fun creating not only memories but beautiful projects that will last a lifetime.
