I came into the shop looking for Fray Check, which they didn't have. For probably the best reason…read morethat if you properly sew your clothes, you don't need to worry about fray. One of the clerks looked it up for me at Walmart, even gave me the aisle number. All of this was wonderful, but the real reason for the review would be their lovely fabrics. I am the least skilled seamstress that ever existed. I gave up sewing long ago. If someone would have put effort into selling me something, I'd be the fool who'd buy something beautiful to turn it into a three car collision. The most beautiful fabrics.

I am a sucker for a locally owned / specialty type quilt shop and have been meaning to get in to…read morethe French Seam for a while - but they were never open when I tried! I totally understand that Covid has forced us a lot of businesses to adjust their hours and the way they run - and the French Seam was no exception. Luckily, I had a day off work recently and was able to get in on a weekday during their limited business hours. Let me just say this - they have some gorgeous fabrics. Quilting cottons are separated from the garment fabrics in the small front area and they have a few notions available. I love being able to look through pre-cuts and they had a good selection of fat quarters organized by color in rolling carts available for purchase. I was also told that there was a 'clearance' area in the back/warehouse type area - so I made a break for it (you had me at clearance!). Back there I was able to score a package of fat quarters for $3 (I was told it was because they were 'old' fabrics - but who cares?) and some other pre-cut yardage at a discount. SCORE! Back in the open 'warehouse' type area also appears to be where machines are located and perhaps where classes would be held (pre/post Covid). Of note, I think I may have thrown off the older, more conservative appearing lady working in the store with my appearance when I walked in, but the younger gal working the counter was very sweet. Overall, I was excited for my new-to-me fabrics to add to my stash and glad I got to check the place out as it is SUPER close to where I live.

My wife is a talented quilter having done dozens of them: Some from patterns, and some with a…read morelittle assist in planning on my part. But make no mistake, the talent is hers. So while I was exploring downtown Lebanon, I found this small quilt shop southwest of the courthouse. Turns out the shop has been around for 40 years though with different owners. The current owner was a customer who bought the business when it was up for sale a few years ago. After parking along the street (free), I noticed the shop had two halves. The part I stepped into was filled with fabric along the walls and in quarters on small display islands. The owner's desk was at the rear. The right half of the shop was filled with a giant quilting machine, one that most people can't find enough room for (or probably afford) in their own homes. I've learned that it is one thing to piece the fabric together and attach a backing (with maybe a pit of padding) to the display side. But the best/most durable quilts have a layer stitching that connects the two layers throughout the spread so that the filling doesn't slide and bunch when used. So it is nice to know that for a fee, you can have your quilt professionally stitched together here. The patterns you select for the stitching can be as beautiful as the fabric. The shop also offers patterns and classes for those who are interested. Though the shop is limited in hours, the owner mentioned she would be expanding the hours in 2020. Review #3475

I recently placed an order with the Yellow Door Quilt store. After ordering, I learned that the…read morebrick and mortar store has permanently closed. I was very concerned. Several weeks passed and I did not receive my order, or notification that it had been shipped, although my credit card had been charged. I contacted the owner and she assured me it was in the mail. She was very prompt in her reply to my messaging. I did in fact receive my order and she refunded my money to me for the inconvenience of the delay and my concerns. She also gifted me a beautiful fat quarter in my package. Very Happy Ending! Even though the store is closing, I would recommend online shopping with the Yellow Door Quilt Store. Very nice and professional owner! Thank you, Yellow Door Quilt Store!

I put in a $300 order on March 25th and didn't get an order confirmation email. However, the funds showed as pending on my credit card. I still hadn't heard anything on March 27th, so I reached out to Yellow Door Quilt Store on Facebook Messenger. Received a one word reply: Monday. Monday came and went, and I messaged Wednesday asking if they had shipped. Crickets. I messaged again at the end of Wednesday telling them if I didn't hear from them by end of day Thursday, I was filing a dispute with my credit card. Crickets. Thursday afternoon, today, I saw that they had seen my message in Messenger, and asked, No reply? They immediately responded saying they didn't have the inventory and had cancelled the transaction so no dispute was necessary. I looked at my CC and sure enough, it had been refunded the day previous. I asked why they had said they were shipping Monday, and they answered that they were going to CHECK on Monday, and apologized for not telling me Tuesday that they didn't have the inventory. Close your damn web store.

I got the chance to visit Mayer Fabrics during their annual "Zero Landfill" event and all I can say…read moreis WOW. Despite being held in their back warehouse, everything was clean and organized, and the staff were very helpful in getting my things weighed and loaded in to my vehicle. The "Zero Landfill" event is designed to put materials donated by local area designers, dealerships, businesses, and sales reps in to the hands of crafters, collectors, artists, etc. to upcycle and/or repurpose discontinued or unused samples of various mediums. Offerings included things such as flooring, framing materials, tiles, and all kinds of fabric - all free. At the end, they weigh your haul and tell you how many pounds of materials you saved from the landfill. I am very pleased with my 120 pounds of velvet squares, curtain panels, carpet squares, and various other goodies that I was able to score. Being a curator of textiles, this event was right up my alley. To hear that almost 12,000 pounds of materials were saved from the landfill just at this event was awesome. I cannot wait to make upcycled pillow covers, table cloths, and who knows what else with my new-to-me beauties!
