When we first passed the store, I didn't think it was real. A lot of businesses along this highway…read morewere closed or run down. So we said if there was time on our way back, we would stop. So we did. I entered and was surprised to see it really was a fabric shop. And the owner of the shop was surprised to see that I was actually looking for fabric. From the looks of things, the stock was old. There was a section for mostly quilting cottons and the other half of the store was for upholstery material. A small table for very old and outdated patterns was just by the entrance. In another part of the store, there was a box of zippers where you pretty much have to look through to find what you need. Nothing was labeled in terms of content or price. The owner pretty much gives you an offer. No thanks. When I was on my way out, he tried to sell me what he thought was linen. I would say that it was probably a blend of cotton and linen but he said that doesn't mean he's wrong, it's still linen. It was an off white roll of fabric and it's most likely off white because it was faded with age. He even told me to go look at a piece of black polyester. I said not what I would sew with. He then asked me what I am interested in. I said I sew garments and quilting cottons won't do. I like to see linens and rayons for example. I also like to sew with knits. He asked about knits and what I mean. I said it's stretchy materials like sewing t shirts for example. As I walked closer to the exit and he sensed I was really ready to leave, he tried to sell me two old pieces of furniture. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Honestly, I bought some fabric out of fear of what might happen if I didn't and am thankful the mildew smell didn't follow me home. I will not be going back.

Their shipping was problem -- they didn't put enough postage on package although they charged me for shipping. You can tell by wording on their website this is an ongoing problem with them.
