The warehouse, whilst packed with fabric bolts and notions, is still easy to navigate and if in doubt, or unfamiliar with what exactly 'crepe de chine is', like I am, Tricia is there to offer advice and help point you in the right direction. In addition to fabric and extensive notions, Tricia offers quilt classes several nights a week as well as stocking quilting supplies for the budding 'quiltress'. Open seven days a week, right off of South Road is a haven for those interested in the revival of DIY fashion.

I have seen it all - dusty little nooks piled up with ancient fabrics, primly arranged embroidery stores and even 'guilds' for those who take it a little too seriously. Based on these years of voyeuristic experience in the quilting 'scene', I have amassed a set of criteria for a good quilting store. - Variety of products - Arrangement and maintenance of store - Knowledge and enthusiasm of staff - Quality of products - Specificity to medium Hettie's is the real deal - a store devoted primarily to quilting that stocks above and beyond the dross you'll find at Spotlight. Spotlight is to quilt-junkies what JB Hi-fi is to musos. Hettie's is up with all the latest brands and the international quilting trends. You can also find a range of fine embroidery products. Everything is impeccably arranged, and there is a wide array of materials, patterns, tools and books. Hettie's also has a regularly updated web presence. Plus there is regular classes for noobs.

If I were a fan of knitting I'd definitely mark this as a "Woohoo, as good as it gets" so for those…read moreof you who are this is utopia. I mean I've seen fabric shops stocking some of this stuff but this shop takes the cake, an absolute professional in its field. It is huge and filled with a knitters wonderland from needles to patterns, wool in any shade, tapestry, haberdashery too and alot more to do with handicrafts. They take pride in stocking the best knitting wool products from Australia and New Zealand and also Merino, Mohair and Angora. Word of warning: they are not cheap but if you love to knit quality items, this is the place to get it and for loads of knitting patterns for anything. Fancy making a teapot cosy, dolls clothing, craft projects, etc all the patterns and books are available. Plus, if there's something in particular you can't find anywhere even here, they will try to source it.

Fabric stores in my book should have every kind of fabric I could possibly need, thats their caper…read moreand they should deliver. So tell me, why is it they don't stock silk for silk painting purposes, I know that this is also a craft store, so why? I can buy feathers here for gods sakes, how come the chickens are in business but the silk worms aren't? Not only that, the staff couldn't tell me where I could get silk when I asked them. It's a very sad thing that I can't just go out and buy this particular item from anywhere. Other than silk Spotlight has everything, I did notice that their bedding is not at all cheap but they're still good for wool if you're a knitter like me, I can only knit scarfes, but it still counts..
