And they arrange them by colour groupings making it easier to see what you might need. The Running Stitch has lots of sample projects all over the store. Many of the quilt projects are "kitted" but you can also buy the projects individually to suit your tastes. The staff is simply superb. They are helpful and can guide you from the simplest of projects to difficult projects. Whether you are a child, teen, young adult or an older person---everyone receives the respect and help they need with their projects. The store also carries a vast assortment of sewing supplies and they carry Bernina Machines (which are fabulous). A must stop on the quilting circuit of stores in Ottawa and area.

I can understand why quilters get such a stash too... very tempting, although I don't sew much. This shop has a section for yarn, but the quilting and sewing side has more variety in it. I was tempted by a lovely apron, which is funny because I don't ever wear one! Maybe I would though... if it looked like this, and if I made it myself! They offer some upscale yarns in here that were heaven to sink my hands into. I managed to walk away with "only" 2 skeins, which will be for a project for me; I'm thinking mittens, but we shall see. I recently purchased the new knitting book called "Saltwater Mittens", which contains patterns that are supposed to represent Newfoundland, and I'm just itching to get going on a few of these patterns! They have a knit-night on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 8:00. Now that it's on my radar, I will keep this in mind so that I can spend more time looking around. And oh yeah, knitting! LOL I will definitely be back.

I don't shop for fabric very often. Actually it's close to never. But, on this particular occasion,…read moreI needed something very specific, and the only place of, other than a specialty packing supply company was C&M. I didn't even know the name of this particular material, but I found a pic of what I needed. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by a friendly staff member who pointed me in the right direction. The person I needed to speak with was with another customer. I was offered a chair while I waited. Once served, she knew exactly what I needed. Brought the roll of material out, measured, cut it, wrote up the invoice. At the cash, the person that initially greeted me punched in the numbers and processed my payment. And then, what happened, will keep me coming back to this store every time I need more material. SHE THANKED ME FOR MY PATIENCE. All businesses need to take note of this. This is how customer service should be.

Decent size store. Half is home dec, half is fashion. It was fairly tidy, though the shop…read moreassistants I came across all smelled of cigarette smoke. The fashion bolts I looked at ranged from $16/m cotton to $100/m wool. They have an excess of shiny, slippery and sheer fabrics, some solid and some nicely patterned cotton sateens, a few flannel/fleece options, lace/cut-outs, linings, and other stuff. I don't recall if they had knits or not. Warning to people under 5'7": you may have trouble reaching fabric on the top shelf in their fashion fabric area. EIther bring a tall friend or be prepared to wait for a shop assistant to help you out. When I went (4 Feb 2013) they were having a 50% off everything sale (with selected bolts at 80% off!) so if you're lucky you'll get there during a sale.

It's a nice bright store with home dec on one side and fashion fabrics on the other. I find this chain in general expensive when a certain fabric is not on special. I do tend to go online and purchase occasionally as well as frequent a certain quilt shop down the street as there are specialty lines that FL just does not carry. There's an outstanding employee here who has cut my fabric my last two visits and she gives me helpful hints and guidance. In general the staff are pretty pleasant and welcoming.

I have been to this store ( st Joseph location in Orleans) on a few occasions and have always found staff to be ignorant and indifferent. Customers are ignored for long periods of time. When you finally do get served you feel be littled as if though you had the oddacity to bother staff. Your never greeted when you come in or thanked after making a purchase. I have always left this store wanting to scream. Undercover Boss would have a field day.

In brief, I asked a few newbie questions and was treated like I was wasting their time despite cash-in-hand ready to purchase. With such a poor pre-sales attitude that borderlines on hostility towards potential customers, I can only imagine what horrible POST-sales support you would get if purchasing from this place. Good luck. Great Hobbies Ottawa Trainyards, I'm coming to place my order in person. You guys get Customer Service! Thank you!!
