I absolutely love this place and spend waaay too much money there. But prices are very fair. Heading there tomorrow!

If you see pictures of a dark interior in reference to Frank's these are old photos. There is new ownership and the store has been completely redone. It is definitely worth a trip to see what the new Frank's is about! New fabrics, yarns, classes, everything! The staff is amazing! read more

Good selection of fabrics with new items coming in all the time. Helpful staff that have experience and can offer advice. Well worth the trip!! read more

They're incredibly nice and have a big variety of fabrics at good prices. They have taken a lot of the stock from Jo-Anne's since it closed so there are some good sales as well. It's nice to shop in a Local store that's family owned, not a chain or a franchise. Let's support it! read more

Nice to have a locally owned fabric store in the area. Nice selection of essential items and fabric. Plus a fun array of leftover sales items to scrounge through. The new owner was very nice and helpful. read more

Linens, cottons, upholstery fabric, oh my! The store is wonderful! 100% wool for $8-$9 a yard, and linen for $6 /yd at 60" widths. They have everything you need and things you didn't know you needed. For example, packages of precut yarn for pom-poms and foam for cushions! Customer service is great and they know their inventory. Not like other places that say "IF we have that it would be down isle x". I bought 3 yds of linen to make napkins for the holidays, a crochet hook, a baking pan for chocolates, lamb's wool to make a winter scarf, 2 Waverly napkin size swatches, about 3yds of heavyweight material to reupholster a foot rest and a holiday tchotchke all for $51!! read more

I'll admit it, I'm not a crafter. I'm not good at sewing and I really can't do much beyond hand turkeys. I stopped here thinking of my mom. She loves crafts. Lots of crafts. I know she wishes I did too. This place is a crafters paradise! If you can think of a crafting material I think it's probably here somewhere. They had pillow panels, fabric, even fabric samples, pins, needles, scissors, latch hook stuff, plastic canvas, scissors, decorations, etc etc etc Aisles and aisles of stuff. Craft books and patterns and quilting racks too! I only had a minute to look around but I can't wait to bring my mom here. The prices seemed reasonable to me. I bought a pillow panel, a rubber stamp, and two old fabric sample books for a little over eight dollars. My mom loved them! The owner was very friendly and I was surprised to hear they were low in stock. It was so full of stuff! I highly recommend checking it out if you or someone you know loves crafting as much as my mom does. read more

I have been a few times and love the adventure. Always something to be found. Thanks for being there. Erin read more

Franks has always been a fun and unusual fabric store. You just never knew what you might find, but as an artist it was a great resource and I always went home with treasures. It's now under new ownership. Very nice people. It's been cleaned out and looks to cater mostly to quilters and knitters, with some home decor items thrown in. I'm sure that will appeal to some, just not what I'll be needing going forward. read more

I love this place so many choices!! I have not been there in a while as I moved away and now I am back and on my way today!! Frank's has always had great prices and you can find some rather hard to find fabrics and notions here as well. They are friendly here as well! read more

So I drove 2.5 hours to get here on a friend's recommendation. To tell you how it went - I spent 3 hours here! I came looking for scraps and smallish pieces of different fabric mediums and I found exactly what I wanted. Pricing is really great and perfect for what I needed. I was paying as low as $.20 a piece. Some of the fabrics are vintage so keep that in mind. They also have a bunch of wool if you need that - I didn't pay much attention to their bolts as I was looking for smaller. They have a large selection of quilting cotton by the yard so you can get larger cut lengths too. And a ton of buttons, zippers, trim, did I say zippers?, and lace. The gentleman who was behind the counter was friendly to every customer who came in and was engaging during checkout. And he counted everything in his head - don't see much of that anymore. Overall, I will make the trip back again as it was worth it. Not to mention, it was a great day for a drive..Happy crafting! read more

Frank's Bargain Center - Precut fabric of mixed medium plus cut cotton - Fabric Stores Near Me - Claremont, New Hampshire

What a treasure chest this place is!!! Not only are you likely to find what you are looking for, but you will also run across seriously darling, vintage, hard to find items you just have to have. Owner is always 100% cordial, knowledgeable, sweet, professional. I could spend a solid week in here and never tire of the scenery! read more

This store is amazing! There is a lot of old inventory the new owner is selling as well as new. The old stuff are things you can't find anymore, different kinds of crafts. They have a nice selection of yarn and a ton of fabric of all kinds at fantastic prices. My daughter and I stopped in and we weren't done an hour and a half later when the store closed. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I love this place! read more

I loved this place. The fabric was a great quality, reasonably priced . Wonderful selection of buttons, trim and notions. Friendly and helpful staff. read more

One of the largest fabric (and notions +++!) stores that I have ever been in; as good as NYC garment district shops at their heyday. Mind-boggling inventory and, amazingly the owner knows exactly where all of the 50,000+ bolts of fabric are. Even if you could care less about fabric or buttons, etc, visit; one of the wonders of the Northeast!! Amazing!!! read more

Stepping into Franks in like stepping into the Ollivander's of fabric stores. I have never met anyone like the owner who was so passionate about his business that he took me on a personal tour and told me of how he acquired some of his favorite pieces. I was able to buy a pair of my grandmother's dressmaking scissors and high quality sateen fabric at such a reasonable price. I spent 4 hours there sifting through historical inventory. Truthfully, I could spend all day there exploring and still don't think I could see every treasure and gadget he has collected in that sprawling shop of his. I love it there. It's worth a trip. If you love history, well made items that will last you much longer, if you want well made and high quality fabric with a little adventure to boot, this is the place for you. read more

Tons of discounted fabrics trims and everything you could possibly need. Plan on spending some time to do a treasure hunt but the prices are worth it!!! read more

Frank is fantastic - he knows just about everything about what's in his store, has a huge selection (always changing, so if you see something, best to grab it!). Prices are great. I love this place, I always find more than I came for and Frank has lots of good advice if you need it. As Rosie's review states, there's a TON of stuff here: brocades, leathers, and foam are well represented, also doll making supplies, buttons, embroidery, plus the more usual fabrics you'd expect. Close-out items can be surprising - Happy Meal toys are in abundance at present! Beads and findings, patches, zippers, etc etc! I've always found what I'm looking for - and am always finding new areas or categories I didn't expect. Great spot. read more

Frank's has become my first stop for fabrics and notions. There are always surprises, beautiful trims, odd buttons, treasures galore. I end up spending a lot of time just enjoying the inventory. Upholstery materials too. read more

This place is pure magic! I go to Frank's for great prices on fabrics, and usually find exactly what I need. Not a ton in the way of apparel fabrics, but plenty for home decor, costumes and quilting cottons. I made beautiful velvet blackout curtains for my whole house for a steal. But the best part is browsing the large collection of unusual specialty and vintage fabrics - I'd love to get into patchwork quilting just to start buying and using those. Also a great place for notions, patterns, and hobby supplies. Frank is always behind the counter with great advice. read more

What a delightful place. Not only tons of fabric, but all sorts of vintage and hard-to-find items. Quilting and apparel fabric, wool, felt, satin, suede, tulle, fleece, upholstery, buttons, thread, zippers, notions, beads, doll-making supplies, and much more. A little scrapbooking and stamping stuff. Great remnant/precut section. You're never quite sure what you'll find, because popular shipments sell out very quick. Lots of vintage patterns. Amazing service--Frank knows his inventory like the back of his hand and will help you find anything, figure out measurements and amounts, special order items for you, or plan projects with no pressure to buy. read more
