Fabrics…read morewere a little pricey but if you're looking to feel fabrics before purchasing them, this is a great spot for it. They also have sewing supplies like thread, scissors, mats, buttons, etc. tucked away in the corners of the store if you're short on supplies. One thing I didn't like was the messy cuts when the lady cut the fabric. But not a dealbreaker.

**************A SEAMSTRESS DREAM*************************…read moreLORD HAVE MERCY, a dream come true. I had never heard of this place before I stepped foot in it to make a masterpiece. I had actually visited on Good Friday and they were closed. I live in Katy and it was a 30 minute drive. I was upset but kind of my fault because you should always call a new place first before visiting. I pulled up and saw no cars and was surely disappointed. I politely got back in my car and decided I would visit another day. Well the following week I decided to visit because I needed to drop shoes off at the shoe shop. I walked in and felt like I was dreaming. It was such a variety of material it was unreal. I am not a seamstress but I have a creative vein for making a masterpiece. I decided to take my time and walk around and observe, look and allow my creative juices to flow. Then an angel appeared CLAUDIA, she was the sweetest girl ever. She answered all of my questions, offered expertise knowledge and helped me sort through many different options. Of course a creative person never makes choices overnight. So I left the store and told her I would return soon. The following week I returned with more choices and the need to make a final decision. When she seen the masterpiece she was floored. She then proceeded to talk about her mother's 50th birthday. It was funny because I am preparing for my 50th birthday and I was sharing with her that I don't mind sharing information with her as well to make her mother's event a success. What impressed me the most is all of the staff are welcoming to all ages and race along with being bilingual. I am always disgusted when I walk into an establishment and no one speaks ENGLISH which is the first language in HOUSTON. They are all nice and helpful CLAUDIA, stood out to me because she helped me personally. She was absolutely amazing. She gave hands on expertise and was very patient and kind. It was my first time in the store and she made me feel welcome. Her energy and poise were unmatched. I am looking forward to shopping at this establishment again.

It is a smocking heaven with pre-pleated and constructed garments ready to be smocked and the selection of quality fabrics is impressive. When I am making a special item whether it be a dress or quilt, this is where I go to purchase fabric; an heirloom item needs to be made with the best quality available and they have it all! The ladies are experienced and super helpful when I need assistance-I love going there.

If you're looking for a fun, relaxing workshop led by a kind and patient quilting instructor, this…read morewas unfortunately not our experience. I purchased a pillow-making workshop for my adult daughter and me, expecting an enjoyable afternoon together and, hopefully, a couple of nice pillows to take home. Instead, neither of us enjoyed the experience, and we left without usable pillows. From early in the workshop, I found Brea, the owner and instructor, to be impatient and unnecessarily harsh. At first, I tried to brush it off as simply a somewhat "spicy" teaching style. But the atmosphere became increasingly tense and uncomfortable. When my daughter became so upset that she hurried to the bathroom in tears, I could no longer overlook what was happening and told her that we were leaving. Rather than trying to understand or de-escalate the situation, Brea became confrontational with me in front of the class. She responded with sarcasm and mockery and challenged my concerns publicly. I was especially disappointed by what felt like an unwillingness to acknowledge mistakes or take any responsibility for how the interaction had unfolded. People take creative workshops to learn, but also to enjoy themselves. Mistakes and questions should be expected, particularly when people are learning a skill. We did not expect perfection or special treatment--just patience, basic kindness, and respectful instruction. Sadly, that was not our experience. What was intended to be a fun mother-daughter outing ended with my daughter in tears and both of us leaving early. I would not return or recommend this workshop based on our experience.

My family has been buying fabric here for as long as I can remember. We have curtains, pillows, and…read morethrow blankets that are more than 20 years old made of the material we purchased at Calico. Their products just hold up SO much better than everywhere else. I do wish they hadn't gotten rid of the remnants section, but I am assuming they needed the space for other products. I love that you can order fabric samples for free to your home to compare and ensure that you're making the right choice. My mom and I stopped in to find new material to re-cover some window boxes and were helped greatly by the ladies working that day. Tony wasn't working that shift, but he has helped us many times in the past, so we adore him too! We are more than happy to continue providing business to this location.

The sales lady was very deceitful. I purchased material for cushions. I asked if they had the…read morematerial in stock. Her reply was YES. As she was writing up my order, she informs me it will take 3-5 business days. At that time, she did not give me an option to pick it up, nor inform me there was a cost for shipping. After 5 business days, I emailed her asking for the status. No response. I called the store and a gentleman said he would check into the order and give me a call back. ironically, that afternoon I received a response to my email from the sales lady. Never a returned called from the salesman. In the email, she informs me that the vendor was an offsite vendor and it takes 2-3 weeks to ship the material. All she wanted was a sale. Very poor customer service. NEVER AGAIN.

I had no idea this store existed! I needed some additional fabric for an alteration and was told…read moreabout UFC from the tailor I went to. He recommended them for their vast selections. When I arrived, I was grateful to see reserved parking spaces right in front. I was not eager to tackle Rice Village parking, so this convenience was a benefit for me. Upon walking in, I asked where I could find some potentially matching fabric and the salesgirl was so helpful! She pointed me in the right direction. Since I was looking for white fabric, she recommended I take the fabric outside in the sun to make sure it matches (can't trust white with the florescent lights!). That greatly helped, as the first fabric I thought would work ended up not matching at all once I took it in the sun. After a few tries, I found a fabric that was perfect! If in need of fabric, I definitely recommend coming to Universal Fabric Center. Lots of options to choose from and great service!
