Pricing is mostly as expected, you will pay a few dollars extra per yard as opposed to some of the discount fabric stores. Personally, spending the few extra bucks at B&J is always worth the trade-off because of the smooth and well-designed experience in the store. They stock high-quality materials and I have never been disappointed in something I've purchased. This store goes the extra mile and will provide you with up to (I believe) 15 free samples per visit. Their inventory is extremely well-managed and they put a bar code/ID sticker on each fabric sample they give you. This way, the process is extremely fast when going back to the store to make purchases. The employees can simply scan the sticker from any of the samples and cut you a piece to length. The whole process seldom takes more than 5 minutes once you have decided what you want. This beats the discount stores 10/10 times in my book, because I save so much time that it warrants the slightly higher price. I have not written any reviews for fabric stores because, frankly, my experience has been nearly identical at all of them EXCEPT for B&J. Along with my fabric purchases, I was looking for bag/backpack hardware today which they do not really carry. One of the employees (did not get her name) was kind enough to hand me a printed list of other stores and recommend a couple that would have what I was looking for. She was absolutely spot on, and I got everything else I needed from the other store. I really appreciated the tip, I have not had a comparable experience or been given this level of attention/help at any other fabric shop in NYC.

I was very happy with my B&J Fabrics experience for these reasons (online purchase):…read more No flashy/immodest/offensive images on front page or fabric pages of website Wonderful selection, with sufficient pictures and description of each fabric Great quality for the price/ great price for the quality Adequately sized samples (I ordered 4 sets of samples, about 20 samples total) were a reasonable price and shipped at a reasonable rate and time My order was properly packed and delivered intact in a reasonable amount of time. All fabric clearly fresh and new, not from a poorly managed warehouse, but obviously from a neat and orderly business. Thanks y'all! I'm in SC and found you online. I used to live in NJ and Staten Island. Some NYC fabric stores don't have adequate websites, but yours is not only adequate, but excellent! The only thing I would add is: care instructions on each product page. I am mystified as to how to launder the cotton guipure lace I purchased, and I conclude that I will do dry clean only to stay way on the safe side. Thanks again!

It's fine.

But it is indeed a good place for linen. I finally sewed up the mid-weight indigo I got there, and I found it lovely to work with, and it doesn't fade or get fuzzy after washing, unlike the linen I've bought from the leading internet linen retailer in the US. So, props for quality. The fabrics are not overly expensive or overly cheap, but the lady did give me a harder time than I expected when I didn't want to just take a bolt end instead of a continuous cut.

It felt only fair to return and add more context to my review of their work. So they get a qualified four stars.
