I planned to sew cushions for some outdoor furniture and went to the Fabricland on Sarcee Trail in…read moreCalgary in April. 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.

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.

Wanted to pick her up some fabric as well, so for that they sent me to the south store. Huge selection, like I would guess thousands of rolls. Also tons of nachines. The ladies here were equally helpful and took my wife's notes and found me the perfect fabrics. Thank you.

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.

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.

This is quite a nifty little sewing shop. The store it literally packed with everything sewing!…read more As soon as you walk in you are met with walls of fabrics, shelves of thread, and stand of accessories. What made this sewing shop stand out a bit from other ones were the already made clothes they had for sale in the place. Or, you could buy the fabric and pattern and make one yourself for much, much cheaper. Some of the things were actually quite cute too. The thing I didn't like about this place was that, upon entry, I wasn't greeted with a 'hello' or even a nod in my general direction. Instead, the first thing a saleslady said to me was, 'Excuse me! You have to leave your coffee up here." That was fine, but at least greet me pleasantly please. I wasn't offered a hand the whole time I was in there. The workers were too busy chatting with their friends about vacations taken and ones coming up. I was fascinated with some of the sewing gadgets they had, though. There was something called liquid thread and I guess you just put it on clothes and stick them together. That really takes the hassle out of sewing, doesn't it? They also had a bunch of fabric glitter, ironing tools, ribbons, and, of course, an abundance of fabric. If you need it for sewing, they have it!

I made dozens of those little beaded lizards, bubble bees, etc. (which I was happy to see today that they still sell those in packages). I gave one to everyone, and still have a drawer full of them somewhere (I can't dump them, the memories are too cherished). Oh or when we'd braid strings into bracelets. Or just take a wide assortment of beats, spell out our names, and make jewelery with that. Bead & Plenty More was the place I went to get my supplies. Seriously, this place was like heaven and still is today. I feel like a kid in this store. The assortment of beads and general craft work in this store is amazing. Whatever you need (wire, pliers, potential pendants, craft books, etc), it's all there. Just walking into this store and seeing all the shapes, colours, and materials (metal or plastic beads) got the creative juices flowing. Oh how I miss those days where giving your friends a custom made bracelet or necklace was a big deal, and that was their birthday present. I think I need to return to those days, even if it looks cheap.
