When it comes to sewing, they are great for advice and always interested in hearing about projects you're working on. I've shopped there on and off over the years, mostly for patterns that have long since been discontinued. The ones I have found have been great! Their fabric selection, though tends to be geared mostly towards quilting, really does offer a wider variety than one would think. Also, the man who fixes sewing machines is amazing. Such a nice person, and always willing to answer questions. His quick turnaround time was also surprising. He tuned up my machine (which hadn't been serviced in several years) and even left a note with it suggesting something that would make it run better. Big stores are great. But the quality of this store really reminds of how valuable small businesses really are. Stop in and take a look around. Talk to the friendly staff and see what they have to offer. You will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately the time away from my visit did not warm me towards this establishment. First off, the selection was not nearly what I had hoped for - which I'm relieved about in retrospect since I'll never give them my business. The bolts were leaning on each other in cubbies versus hanging on the wall like other outlets. I mention this only bc it requires some rooting around to find something you're looking for. This is not a deal breaker for me, but customer service is. That being said, there were two employees present when I was shopping. One woman, behind the counter, seemed friendly & helpful enough. I wish I had asked her name so I could mention her specifically. Had she been working alone I assume this review would be entirely different. The other employee, an older woman with gray hair, was unbelievably rude & I was rendered nearly speechless! She behaved so unprofessionally towards me that I walked out of the store & had to explain to my young kids what "inconsiderate" meant and why we don't patronize places that belittle us. I'm not sure why she has a chip on her shoulder...or maybe she was having a bad day...but her attitude was unjustified & they lost a potential weekly textile purchase. It was a major disappointment all around. ----UPDATE Nov.2013---- Apparently she WAS just having a bad day and has since reconciled. I am compelled now to return to the store and take a look around b/c I am all about second chances and they definitely deserve one. Will update my Yelp once I do.

Fabric Factory Outlet's location is in a kind of run-down strip mall close to Rt 46. The interior is pretty bare-bones, and the fabric bolts are all just laying on end in rows, organized (loosely) by type, color. The selection isn't very good in my opinion. They didn't really have anything remarkable, lots of stuffy fabrics my mom might like -- but even her tastes are better than what they offered. Even if you were looking for some basic upholstery fabric (velvets, tweed-chenille type) they didn't have that great of a selection -- and the prices weren't that great. For a better selection, I'll still go to Fabric Warehouse in Belleville. Up front, they seem to offer some curtain and upholstery services, in back they had a room with discounted bolts of fabric. The staff was basically not helpful at all, and even though I am STILL looking for upholstery fabric, I probably won't be going back here again.
