My experienced with Fabricland have never been positive; however, there is always that one employee…read morethat stands out making your experiences slightly more. After a really bad experience at the elbow location, I thought I would try the location off McLeod. Upon initial entry, staff we unhelpful and surly (as stated by other reviewers). I was unable to find basic lingerie sewing items as well. While wandering around the back looking for any sort of substitute for the items I couldn't get, I came across Cheryl, who was actually completely fabulous! I know! Shocking considering the organizational culture of Fabricland. Cheryl spent time with me testing alternatives and making suggestions. The store should really move this gem of a lady to the front as she is far more helpful and friendly than anyone else I've encountered in these stores. I have a feeling that I will only be hitting this store looking for this one helpful and friendly staff. She deserves five stars for her customer oriented service. Sadly, Fabricland as an organization doesn't.

They had a great price on fabric but only 3 of the 8 zippers in the size and colour I needed. I bought the 3 zippers and spent the next 2 months going to Fabricland in 3 cities trying to find the remaining zippers I needed. When I was unable to source them I decided to use a rolled zipper product but Fabricland would not take a return on the zippers (they still don't gave stock!). I'll never go back.

Wonderful selection ( especially since the store expanded) and everything is of great quality…read more Great selection of batiks in addition to many other lines of quilting cottons. Extensive selection of threads, battings, rulers and quilting notions. Staff are quite willing to be helpful, or just let you browse and do your own thing, if that is what you prefer. Online shopping is also available and they are very quick in their turn around times and will reach out to you with any concerns, should they arise. I have always found them to be friendly and knowledgeable when I needed, or wished, a consultation. Prices are reasonable and on par with other stores in the city. I am an avid and experienced quilter and I would have no problem recommending this store to anyone.

I am visiting from out of town and was shopping at fabric stores. I was taken to this store. What…read moreimpressed me was the variety of fabric. What didn't impress me was when I arrived at the cutting table. The agent working at the cutting table was in the middle of a personal call with another store associate who isn't working today. The personal conversation did not end when I arrived at the cutting table but continued a full 5 minutes before I asked if there was someone who could help me. Meanwhile I did learn about some of the work politics going on between co-workers. I will omit details. This store is right by fabricland and the prices are higher than fabricland. I would have left to shop there instead but this store had a pattern that I couldn't find elsewhere. When a customer chooses your location they should not have to wait for your personal call before you choose to help them. It's disrespectful and I didn't need to hear about the politics. Shop here for the fabric, not for the customer service.

I recently purchased a pre-owned Pfaff machine which worked perfectly for several weeks. Suddenly…read morethe machine started jamming up and would not sew more than a few stitches. I took it today to Sewing World and was helped by Jana. She was extremely knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The problem, as it turned out, was not the machine but my incorrect threading of it. Jana spotted the problem within minutes, smiled as she instructed me on the correct procedure, and could not have been more personable. I would recommend Jana and Sewing World to anyone. Jeannie E.

The parking lot was a bit hectic but My Sewing Room has its own parking spot allotted right up front. I would definitely come back once I have a few more sewing knots under my belt.

I was up and running in seconds after I had just experienced the worst three days of my life (tried to figure it out on my own) Michael Thank you for amazing customer service and being able to get me calmed down so I could follow your directions. This is real customer service! If you are thinking of buying a machine see him!!! Thank you again Anne and Michael!

Excited to receive this weighted blanket. I bought the 40x70 30lbs. This place does have sample…read moreblankets which is nice if your curious to see how it feels. Why a weighted blanket you ask? In my case, I have insomnia and it's suppose to be a therapeutic blanket. They use weighted discs instead of sand or plastic beads, so it's quite pricey. You can find more info on their website plus view the types of patterns they have which is neat. Staff is friendly, parking space is only on the street probably because they expect their product to be shipped but if your willing to drive there and pick it up it's free. The feel of the blanket is unique, it does keep you in place in bed and can feel quite trapped. Blanket is cozy but you can get lower weights if it's too heavy. Moving this blanket from places feels heavy. Recommended for anyone having sleep problems but do sample the product at their location because you may not like the feeling of being trapped with weights on your chest.
