    The goods. SO GLAD they have Halloween fabric!

    I needed some bias tape, and as I try to adjust to a post-Joann world, I figured it was time to give Jackman's a try! I was impressed in many ways - they had unique buttons, a healthy selection of bias tape, and plenty of trims! They had so much beautiful quilting cotton, including the splashy brands like Tula Pink, and what felt like a whole wall of batiks. Their apparel fabric left something to be desired: not a lot of choices, but the quality seemed decent! Better than Hobby Lobby. The staff seemed friendly, I didn't need any help so I can't speak for that, but I saw somebody being helped with bridal fabric and the associate was so enthusiastic! Seems like they really know their stuff. I got a decent haul for ~$16!

    So much variety! My mother-in-law works with fabric and is always looking for colorful lace and they have more than any other store I've seen! My husband and I just came in here for some random cosplay supplies and are very impressed by all the options. Beautiful store with lovely colors! I'm not a huge quilt person but I loved many of the ones on display!

    O. M. G. !!!!!!!!!!! You guys. This place. I am SO glad I found this place!! It is the MOST DOPE fabric/sewing/crafting place everrrrrrrrrr! There. I had to get that out of my system, lol. After my visit here I was like OMG MIND BLOWN! http://i.imgur.com/j74SykU.gif AHHHH! But no really, I freaking love Jackman's. It's kind of in a weird location, like it looks almost like it might have been an old legal building at some point and you might even miss it if you're driving fairly fast ish down Lindbergh and you don't happen to see the sign. Luckily, I found it. I am glad I did! I have a Baby Lock sewing machine, and I've owned it since roughly 2006 or so. I bought it in Pittsburgh from a place similar to Jackman's only wayyyy tinier and with less stuff and less staff. I've been sewing for a while (self-taught) and decided I'd loooove to take my sewing to the "next level." Yep, I wanted a serger! And not just any, but preferably a Baby Lock serger. I found Jackman's using the Baby Lock authorized retailer locator thingy. Apparently they're a platinum ranked sales center for BL stuff. When I stepped into the store, I immediately knew why. Insanely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Not pushy at all when it comes to sales. They don't work on commission AFAIK so yeah. Nothing worse than people desperately trying to sell you shit (I'm lookin' at you, Teavana!) LOL. But I digress. I had a feeling that the Baby Lock "Imagine" serger might be for me based upon my research and so the friendly sales lady, Patricia, took me to their floor model so I could poke around with it. Mostly I just listened to her explain all the features. Auto-tensioning. Air-jet threading. Hooooly F! I was like, trembling and drooling just looking at it. And plus you get lifetime free classes too. So killer! I plan to sign up for their January serging/overlocking classes so I can get the most out of my machine. It wasn't a cheap machine, but shit, you get what you pay for. High quality. Baby Lock is actually a STL based company which kicks ass! I had no idea until I was reading about it online the day before I went to Jackman's. The machines are designed here but manufactured in Japan. Very high quality. It definitely shows too as my roughly 8 year old sewing machine is still going strong. Of course I keep it maintained, though--it's like any other piece of machinery--routine maintenance will prolong the life of it. But yeah, there was also a special deal when you buy a serger where you get discounted thread for it...which is hella awesome! I bought a ton of thread. Also got some needles! Holy crap. I went into this store thinking I had a decent grasp of needles but dayyymn, was I wrong. I learned SO much just by talking to the wonderful Patricia. She even had this gigantic, over-sized needle and was able to explain to me, holding the big needle, the various parts of it and why they're super important when it comes to various types of sewing. Your sewing machine is only as good as the type of needle you put in it, apparently. Well, maybe that's an over-exaggeration on my part, but I am finding it to be somewhat true. Stretchy knit fabric requires a specific type of needle (ball point) and then the weight of the fabric also determines needle size. She also showed me a HELLA DOPE 10-needle, fully programmable Baby Lock embroidery machine. This thing is my DREAM machine. Holy shiiiiiit. It costs like, pretty much the price of a (nice) new car....like $17k. lol. But you are effectively buying a business when you buy one of these, and they even offer freakin' classes on how to start your own business, what you'd need for accounting, etc. How awesome is that?! Pretty mind-blowing, actually! I fully intend to return for classes, supplies, maintenance, etc. They also have a great fabric selection as well! A++++ would go again!! Would have mind-blown again!!! :D

    I am a fairly new quilter, and truly loved the hand-quilting class I took, and the quilt club meetings I attended.

    They just sit on your payment without shipping. The website…read morestates that orders are shipped 2-5 business days after being placed. That has never been true. Most recently, I placed an order on July 14, 2026, and as of today, July 30, 2026, it has still not been shipped after 12 business days. Note that they charge the credit card at the time of ordering, not at the time of shipping. While I like their fabrics, don't expect to receive your order within a reasonable time.

    They sent me a large piece of fabric that was a completely different color than the picture. I sent…read morethem a picture of what they sent me, and a picture of the ad selling the fabric, which were starkly different. They absolutely refused to acknowledge the difference in the fabric, saying it was not their mistake, but I should order more carefully, and refused a refund. Or I could return it for a refund at my own expense. Very low integrity of this company. In addition shipping has become ponderous. 3 weeks to get an order. Sometimes if order doesn't ship, I have to call them, and then it ships within two days, which indicates that they lost the order or forgot about it. How low can you go, denying that you misrepresented a product in order to refuse a refund, despite pictures that are clearly different! I will never shop there again. In refusing to refund a $17 mistake on their part, they have lost my business forever. I was a very consistent customer for years. But no more.
