The one downside is that the line in the fabric room can get long and it's first come first served, so when I just needed a roll of ribbon I had to stand behind 15 people who needed fabric cut. That was tedious. They don't have as many different throws as some of the other places, but this is a good place to come to fill in the gaps.

I visited NOLA for the first time this past week and I was delighted as my partner and I rode by on…read morea local bus I spotted the Needlework Vault and we had to stop! I was so excited. There are so few brick and mortar small business needlework shops. I am always looking for Rainbow Gallery thread, Splendor and when I stepped into the store - there was a whole display! I was thrilled but my excitement was quickly dampened by the store clerk when I was promptly asked "What can I do for you?" in a horribly cold voice, from the back of the store. This woman made no attempt to get up as I came in and I explained I was very excited to be in a store that sold embroidery supplies and I make it a point to check them out when I come across one. She told me "We don't sell embroidery supplies." I looked at her and the thread and back at her and I said "You have embroidery floss right here." She said again "We don't sell embroidery supplies" and made no attempt at all to inquire if I needed something specific, if she could help me find something or order me something because clearly a store that might not sell embroidery specific supplies has access to catalogues that carry it. Not to mention there are always the ubiquitous accessories, needles and junk that ANY needleworker can use. See, I have worked customer service my whole life and I pretty much have never felt so unwelcome in any small business establishment as this space. I didn't want to leave because I needed to purchase this particular silk thread they had a giant display of. I took myself over to the floss and started to color match to my piece that I am working on, when I travel I always carry something with me. As my husband and I looked at the thread and he helped me pick out colors this clerk came over to us and stood about 4 feet behind and just watched as we selected threads. I finally turned and asked her if she needed something because she was making me so uncomfortable and irritated at her rudeness. She made some noises and then told me my piece was "cute" - a four letter insult in itself, I don't care if she thought it wasn't. Firstly, I don't see how she could have even properly seen it since it was in my lap and I was kneeling. Secondly, woman - you really need to work on your manners and passive aggressive tone. She finally walked off to the sales desk which was directly NEXT to the display. Meanwhile up until this point she had been perfectly content to sit on her butt at the back of the store and not ask us if we needed help. The only kindness either woman (there were two in shop) showed us was when we laid out the money for the thread I had selected and at $4.50 a card this thread is not cheap. Then they joked and chatted with us as if they hadn't been assuming we would make off with a whole bunch of specialty silk thread for some black market. I would have bought SO much more if I didn't feel so unwelcome by these two gatekeepers. Just to give any readers perspective : I am a young, 30-something, heavily tattooed, white woman. I might not look like a serious needlework enthusiast but I am currently in the running for a highly coveted needlework job for the government in my home city. I hate to deter anyone from supporting a local business so I would implore this business to instead WELCOME every single person who chooses your shop over Amazon and other internet shops ESPECIALLY when you have no idea who or what they do. If I'm ever back in NOLA I don't know if I would bother patronizing this store again, it's just too...cute.
