When I needed thread for my outdoor sun umbrella, the staff was able to quickly advise me which…read moretypes of thread would wear well outdoors through rain and sun, and they had a large assortment of colors to find a perfect match. I've never shopped for fabrics there but they seem to have a large supply! Prices seemed good; I paid less than I thought I would have to, given today's inflation of prices everywhere you turn. Their prices seemed fair. Looking forward to going back!

I called about a used sewing machine they had listed for sale for $6k on their website, and was put…read moreon hold for 7 minutes before I hung up and called back. The lady I then spoke with looked up the brand of machine I was inquiring about, of which there were two. One of the machines was a multi-needle and I told her that wasn't it. The other she could only give me the model number, which told me nothing. I then told her the name of the model, and her records didn't tell her that (apparently she couldn't go look). The only way I could then narrow it down was to ask if it was listed for $6k. She said no, it's listed for $3k. I started to tell her it's on their website, but she hung up (or the line somehow disconnected). I was unimpressed with their service and didn't bother to call back. I couldn't go to the store in person to ask these general questions because I live 4 hours away. I'm glad I didn't make the trip.
