I would give Threads a five-star review for its extensive selection if it weren't for their inconsistent pricing -- telling one person one price and another a different price for the exact same job. I shopped there today and purchased a beautiful fabric to cover my dining room chairs. The price was fair, however, I was quoted $45 per chair to upholster just the seat cushion (no disassembly or reassembly involved), when my son was quoted $25 per chair for the exact same job yesterday. I declined because I knew I was being overcharged. I had come to Threads today directly after a meeting dressed very nicely and must have looked like I could afford a higher price, whereas my son had gone there yesterday dressed in old, paint-stained jeans, an old hoodie, faded ball cap and scruffy face. If you shop there, dress way down and do not wear jewelry! read more

I've been shopping for wallpaper all over town. Threads has a huge selection of designer books and is my last stop. Brenda is so knowledgable and helpful; I told her what I need and in 10 minutes she found the perfect fit for me! The store also has an impressive array of upholstery materials, I really enjoy looking at them although I don't need anything right now. read more

This place came up online as I was looking for more of a vintage look in fabric! I showed up and I was amazed by how this place had selection and the fabric was different than any other fabric store you will go too!! Not, too mention the customer service was awesome!!! Brenda helped me out and advised me of a particular fabric that will look good for the chair that I reupholstered!! I will definitely be going back!!! read more

Nataly was a complete doll. I stumbled in here looking for fabric for a chair. If they don't have it on the floor not to worry it can be ordered!!! I didn't purchase anything yet but was givin a few samples to take and see how they look! Very helpful!!! Thank you Nataly for the customer service. read more

Lovely and wide-spread selection of fabrics for furniture and upholstery, nicely organized. The staff was helpful in suggesting fabrics for upholstering my chair and as well as for some other things. After figuring out what kind of look I wanted, they were able to show me a couple of great ideas that I never would've thought of. Prices are moderate to a little high. read more

Brenda & her staff are great! Such a nice selection of fabrics, vinyl, & leather. They really know their stuff & have great customer service! We have an RV...& wanted to replace the tacky curtains, reupholster the headboard in the bedroom & valances (over the window areas)...with some upscale durable finishes. Everything is on order & should be ready in about a week. Can't wait to see the finished product :). Love also they are BIG supporters of animal rescue. We are adopting 2 kittens from them after they complete their spay & neuter ;)! Thanks again for all your great advice & help!!! Trisha & Michael. read more

Amazing place to get your fabric needs! First off, I just want to say that I am so happy that I found this place! My mom and I went in on a Saturday afternoon and we were so glad we went that day because it wasn't busy so we got to go around the shop and have a better look at the fabrics. The choices were excellent and it's very easy to navigate around the store. The fabrics were kinda grouped by shade so if you're looking to match fabrics, it'll be a breeze. We went in to purchase fabrics to be used as clothing for a life-size religious figure. Brenda is very helpful and very easy to work with. The prices range from cheap to really pricey but Brenda can slash some bucks off the tag price. She gave us an amazing deal on our fabric choices (don't forget to ask about the Yelp discount!) It's definitely a bit of a drive from my home in Chula Vista but it's definitely worth the trip! read more

See all

I came here not knowing WHAT TO expect. But OMG! The luxury fabric!! SO WELL MADE! And the place has a vibe that is super retro, sheik, and polished.... and the coolest part? The OWNER is awesome, and so is her staff!! Coming back here for ALL OF MY upholstery as well as wall coverings! read more

Owner was very helpful! We went to get scraps for an embroidery project and they had a nice large selection since they primarily work with furniture. Would definitely come back again!! read more

The owner Brenda is very talented, creative, friendly and flexible. The store is nicely stocked with fabrics, pillows etc. Bilingual and pet friendly too which is always a plus! read more

Beautiful fabrics with affordable prices. Staff patient, nice, and helpful. Found fabric to re-upholster mid-century modern chairs on first pick. read more

My favorite fabric place in San Diego. The staff is very helpful and the shop is gorgeous.

Threads made gorgeous draperies for our living room! Everyone, especially Brenda, was so courteous , helpful, and knowledgeable about their workmanship. Their prices were better than J.C. Penny! We were pleasantly surprised and couldn't be happier! They made 2 pairs in a few days! They're located across the street from Costco, on Morena blvd. read more

Went in for fabric to reupholster some bench cushions. They have an amazing selection, but I was extremely disappointed when they said they wouldn't take a return on the unused four yards of fabric that I didn't end up needing. It was expensive fabric, and I still don't really understand why they wouldn't accept a return. read more

I am in the middle of a remodel and looking to wallpaper a few rooms. I found Threads on yelp and called them to see if they carry a selection of textured wallpaper in the color black. The woman who answered the phone replied that she did not know and that they have 80 books of wallpaper. She then asked me what part of town I am in and I mentioned that it depends on the day. Her reply was - good, so you are used to driving around, it should be easy to stop by - we are on Morena. ??? Obviously I would plan to stop by to look at the wallpaper if you carry what I need, since I have a specific type I am looking for. I explain this and she said she is not sure if what I am looking for is in her books and that she isn't going to look through them if she doesn't even know if I am going to actually buy the paper. (Jaw drop) Then she proceeds to tell me she is very busy but I am welcome to stop by to look through her books (all 80 of them I suppose). Well, I am busy too, which is why I am calling to make sure I don't waste a trip to your store if you don't carry what I need. So you have some context, I called two other places and had a completely different experience. The last store I called said she had a book dedicated to textured wallpaper and had some animal prints, damask patterns, and some other geometric patterns. I stopped by and she had already earmarked 4 for me to look at. I picked one, placed my order and am a happy customer. I guess Threads is too busy to provide good customer service. Anyone doing a home remodel knows how stressful and time consuming it is. Threads doesn't seem to care about that little detail. Awful. read more

Wow! When I decided to check out this new fabric store to look for materials for some curtains I wanted to make, I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be to choose from their beautiful, and unique selection of fabrics. I felt like I was in a boutique environment and was given a lot of attention and wonderful ideas by the owner herself, Brenda, for the what I could possibly create using their large selection of fabric, and trim. As we all know, any fine work is in the details and having a place that sells designer trims at great prices, to mix in with your fabric, is terrific. I loved this place and would highly recommend it for anyone that is looking to create curtains, pillows, curtains, and upholstery that is classy, and one of a kind, read more

Oh my gosh. Brenda and the crew at Threads is AMAZING. I literally cannot say enough, and wish I could express into words what a good resource they are, especially for designers. When you walk in, it seems as though they just sell wholesale fabrics by the yard. However, they are so much more than that. Brenda has been in the design industry for over a decade and has endless resources. I use her for so much: Yes...affordable basic fabrics, but as well, custom window treatments, upholstery of anything, building from scratch custom furniture (including leather furniture), and even custom shadow boxes. I gave her a picture of a high end mid-century modern leather couch that I client wanted and her crew built it from scratch for me!!!! She wins MVP this year for being a huge asset and resource to my interior design business. Thank you Brenda for all your hard work! read more

We have done roman shades, reupholstering, custom made headboard, etc. with Brenda at Threads. She has a great eye and is happy to help you put it all together. Her showroom has the most beautiful fabrics and just the right amount of them so that you don't get overwhelmed. We found the prices of her fabrics to be fair. Brenda will go over and above to make sure the customer is happy. She is always willing to go the extra mile and solve any problems that may arise. Would highly recommend. read more

It was beautiful experience s hoping in this store . Brenda was more than nice and helpful . Tell here your plan , show her colors you already have and she will exactly know what you need . The store is clean and well organized and fabric selection is huge . Good job Brenda . Peace and love read more

Love love love the fabric selection and prices are great! So much better than any other fabric store out there by far! Owner was super helpful and has amazing taste! Will be coming back again and again and again....... read more

WOW! Brenda's eye is awesome! She helped select fabric for a challenging reupholster and I and delighted with the way the furniture now blends with my new place. Great fabric selection, great reupholster job, great service. 5 stars at ever turn... read more

THIS is the fabric store I've been looking for in San Diego. Start here before you waste time driving around the county. You will likely find it here...beautiful store and lovely owner. read more

Amazing selection of fabrics and furniture. The owner, Brenda, has impeccable taste and understood my vision to a tee! Highly recommend for curtains, custom furniture, and design! read more

Absolutely the best service and selection. Stopped by to check it out and left with stuff I did not realized I wanted! Monica knows her stuff and is super helpful. read more

Unique and elegant selection of fabrics. The store itself has a very tranquil and natural vide, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to have custom pillows/ throws made! read more

Brenda is amazing. Could ask for better service or selection. She will go out of her way to make sure you find what you are looking for.

I LOVE this store, I was so impressed with the selection of gorgeous leathers. I was looking for a very specific color of leather, luckily I found it at Threads, they were very helpful and my leather arrived on time and it matched my sofa perfectly! The fabric selection is also very extensive, I highly recommend Brenda, she is very knowledgeable and has amazing taste!! read more

Gorgeous fabric, reasonably priced, and the personal service from Brenda made all the difference. I've been to 5 other fabric stores, and this one was far above the rest. Brenda listens to your needs and then offers creative advice. You will not be disappointed with Threads! Susie read more

I needed some fabric to recover 2 chairs and also needed fabric for a window seat and cushions. I heard about threads and went to the showroom on Morena Blvd. I was blown away by the affordable pricing and extensive selection. The best part of my experience was Brenda, who helped me coordinate multiple fabrics for all of the items. She is a patient, knowledgeable designer and I highly recommend Threads. Thank you Brenda and Threads!!!! read more

I received such thoughtful and knowledgeable help in selecting fabric for my living room couch that I have to rave about the service I received. The selection of fabrics is astonishing. Care was taken to help me find a fabric that coordinated with existing upholstered furniture as well as an oriental rug. An estimate was provided for the entire project (fabric, pick-up and delivery of couch, upholstering, etc.). The workmanship is outstanding! I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect upholstery job. I cannot recommend Threads more highly! read more

Big Shout out! Again I found the best Summer Pillows.... Second year in a row ... I change the whole look in my house by changing the pillows. Wish I could say it was my idea. 2 years ago while looking for fabric to re upholster a couch. The owner who is also a designer suggested I change the pillows and re cover 2 chairs. I did and loved it so much... its a yearly thing. read more

This review has been long overdue. I cannot express into words how amazing Brenda is. Brenda went above and beyond, providing me with the best customer service. I needed wallpaper ASAP. Brenda not only made sure I was satisfied with the choice of wallpaper, she called all of her guys to see who can literally install the wallpaper next day on a last minute request. She even stopped by my place of business to check on me and to make sure I was completely satisfied. Brenda you deserve ten stars! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to designing their home or office. read more

My husband and I recently went into Threads Etc looking for upholstery fabrics. They had many fabrics to choose from and Gloria was very helpful and friendly in assisting us. In fact, we asked that it be shipped directly to our upholsterer. It arrived in less than 10 days and I was extremely pleased with the quality. I became aware that we were shipped a few extra yards by mistake and when we offered to pay, Brenda told us not to worry. I would highly recommend them to others. read more

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this fabric store. They were truly life savers. I bought fabric here at a local store to create and footboard and headboard. Long story short this fabric store here in AZ no longer carries the fabric and I need 6 yards. I called the manufacturer and they gave me the name of a company that recently bought a bulk order. I called threads and they were SO HELPFUL! They took the time to find the fabric, they sent me a text picture to ensure it was the correct fabric and they mailed it to me here in AZ. I can't tell you how much this means to me. I have waited 3 years looking for the right fabric to create this headboard and It was also a birthday present to me from my husband. IT WAS JUST FABRIC it was completely the decorating of my master bedroom, it was making a headboard out of just the right material and wanting to match the footboard I already made. THEY SAVE THE DAY!! I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THREADS!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! read more

Threads appeared in my search so I call this store to inquire if they carry the specific fabric I am looking for. Give 1 star because girl who answers call asks for my name to address me properly and mentions she needs to write down what I'm specifically asking for. I'm not exactly "on hold" listening to elevator music so I can hear background noise. She returns and asks me what exactly am I using this material for. Is it a garment? I said no for a project. Another woman (from background noise) gets on phone and starts talking without introduction and continues to ask me what I need it for. Is it a garment? By this time I say yes because obviously you can use this material for a garment. How else can I refrain from telling her what I need it for? Inventors don't reveal their secrets. ;) She tells me that garment is the same thing as clothing and they have fabric for upholstery. What?!!! I thanked her and ended my conversation. Wondering if I had accidentally contacted a different business because from what I recall, they had five stars by reviewers. I found her comment to be extremely appalling because I clearly know what "garment" means. Allow me to add there are NO limitations as to what you can do with fabric. You may utilize it for the sole purpose of creating custom furniture and drapes but others may have extravagant ideas or simply other uses for it. We reside in CA so please respect the privacy of the customer by simply letting them know if you carry the specific fabric or not so they can continue their search if you don't have it. Don't make a costumer feel they need to specifically tell you what you plan to do with it! Creativity has no limit!!! I highly recommend my fellow yelpers' to take your business elsewhere. Threads indicates on yelp...We are San Diego's source for: fabric, leathers, trim, upholstery, drapes. I definitely don't agree that I was offered a great degree of customer service as listed. I hope others agree with my decision for this review and steer towards another company that doesn't put a damper to your imagination. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Threads. Selecting fabric can be quite overwhelming. Brenda made is a pleasure because she listens to the need and give great advice with the detail. We had armchairs recovered in different fabrics and patterns. The team did an absolutely beautiful job upholstering the chairs. They are flawless. The prices were quite reasonable. I highly recommend this wonderful boutique shop. read more

I was looking for the perfect upholstery fabric in an unusual color and with an underweave for depth. Leslie Bermeo was wonderful. In addition to looking through the large fabric samples hanging up, she went searching in her books to give me additional options. I was able to take home several large size samples to see how they went with the room. I appreciated the help and the cute, friendly dog. read more

These are really nice people who do a really nice job at a really nice price. We had four chairs reupholstered and from start to finish everything was a pleasure. They even called back when they said they would (a first for a San Diego business!). Even the Boss (my Spouse) was pleased and that ain't easy to do! Highly recommended! read more

A beautiful showroom with wonderful assortment of fabrics and designs. I was impressed with the professionalism and creativity of the owner. She was able to create rooms and furniture that make fit with its owner. Glad this store is here. read more

This place is awesome! Brenda, the interior desighner/ owner, helped me pick the perfect selection for my sofa. In about 1-2 weeks my sofa was delivered and it came is amazing! It was about time there was a place like this... thanks threads read more
