Cutters are alwasy busy helping multiple people and tasking duties. Alwasy smiling too. No matter how crazy it gets. They have someone to consult in every department.

Satin, Velvet, Brocade and Taffeta is clean and crisp. Perfect for sewing projects. Great value for you buck!

I can't recommend SAS Fabrics enough! I went in yesterday with a tall task of trying to find…read moreembellishments for a Marie Antoinette-style dress and had no less than five people help me. I was greeted the minute I walked through the door and was immediately offered help. I had multiple people take me through the isles for various things with total confidence, creative ideas, and complete knowledge of every item in the store (and there is a HUGE selection!). I found EXACTLY what I was hoping for and everyone was friendly, enthusiastic, and totally professional. They made the experience so much fun! I can't thank them all enough - especially because I don't consider myself crafty and I don't sew - but after working with this crew I felt like anything was possible! And the best part - I spent less than $60 on yards of fabric, lace, and trim - incredible! Thanks again to everyone for being awesome!

Brides: please save yourself the stress and stay away from this shop…read more I came in with a clear vision for a custom gown. The owner rushed me and my friend (a professional fashion designer) to make snap decisions about materials--without ever asking to see my design ideas. Later, she tried to put the blame on me for not providing every single detail up front. She insulted the sundress I was wearing, treated us like we were wasting her time, and then quoted me twice the price for the same style of dress I later purchased at Brilliant Bridal North Phoenix. Whether she was intimidated by my friend's design background or simply had somewhere else to be, the message was clear: our business wasn't valued. Warning: The staff may sound warm and convincing over the phone, but the in-person reality is very different. Expect the ambience of a 1980s time capsule--fun only if you're nostalgic for that decade. The glowing reviews here are either wildly generous... or bought and paid for. If you want to be treated with respect and find a stunning gown for under $10K, I highly recommend Brilliant Bridal or Don't Box It Bridal instead.

I was on the hunt for the perfect upholstery fabric for window treatments--which turned out to be a…read morelong and difficult process. Ordering swatches online is time consuming and turned up nothing I wanted. I also went to a few warehouse style stores, but the selection was not great and the special order fabrics turned out to be unavialable. Calico Fabrics is a bit on the high side but the selection is excellent and I was able to score the perfect fabric on sale. The fabric is a plaid Ikat with rich greens, browns, cream and a touch of black. My fabricator made gorgeous upholstered cornice boards, a drapery panel to frame the sliding glass door and bonus--a Roman Shade for my office. Shout out to Gayle, who helped me at Calico. All business, helpful and informative.

I have placed a couple of orders lately and am not happy with the product or their service…read more 1. Pillows are not well made. Fine but could be better especially at the price 2. Bedskirt for a standard king. I ordered a standard king (80long x 76 wide) bedskirt with a 15" drop. The bedksirt was made according the the "standard" measures that calico has, which was not 76" wide. They want to charge me to remake the skirt. I signed the ordered b/c I assumed they had standard king measures. It's a simple google search. They are blaming their workroom. 3. Ordered a headboard late in the day. Tried to cancel within 30 min and they "had to call corp". (East coast. Office closed). I had to continually call them to get an answer in if it could be cancelled. I feel like the store didn't really try to resolve. I now have the headboard- super poor quality. The "white glove" delivery is a joke. I guess white glove means they bring it inside without the brackets. I wonder if standard delivery means they bring it to the driveway? Called the store manager. We will see but I'm not hopeful. $5000 in one month and every item is wrong, bad or just Meh.

I'm pretty new to fabric arts but excited about all the future projects! SAS had SO much stuff. All kinds of fabrics from fake fur to satiny-y types.

I look forward to getting supplies here as I learn how to make things! Parking was easy as well.

Not only…read morewere they not helpful, but when it came time for me to check out I was told to go to another line, cool but I've never been here before and yall let me wonder for 10 minutes without offering help, so I go to the next line and the first thing this girl tells me is that next time I'm in here only water is allowed. I asked her if this was posted anywhere and she said it was. No where was this posted. Not on the door, not next to the cashier no where. I'm a rule follower, the more rules the better in my opinion. Not only does she bark this order at me, but after I tell her I don't see a sign saying no drinks (I had a sealed bottle of Gatorade on a 84 degree day) she says it's there......spend your money elsewhere. I happily went to Michael's and spend over $80 on fabric, just because they treated me like a human and didn't bark orders at me. I'm sorry you hate your job girlie, but it is not my fault. -10 stars DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU SIMPLY WANT FABRIC FOR A CHEAPER PRICE. There are other places with cheaper prices, but if you don't mind spending the extra dollar. Russ at Michael's at Tempe market place was so available and willing to help me, plus he served as a Marine and National Guardsmen for +21 years. Take your money to a place that will treat you well. Not here. So I tried calling the store to ask if I could speak to a manager, a girl named Becky got on the phone, started telling me not to curse at her (I wasn't cursing) then hung up on me. When I tried to call back i was hung up on again. Then the next time I was met with the same hostility. I tried to call another location to get the owners info, and was told that Becky is in fact in charge of all the locations and is the head of Sas. I pray God blesses you and your business Becky in the same way you bless others. Best believe I will tell everyone I know not to shop here.

Had the best experience here!! Was searching for an upgrade to my brother sewing machine for…read moreapparel sewing. I had not great experiences at the Phoenix sewing multi-brand store (not Mulqueen or Bernina). I had said I wanted to stay under $1k and had received the most appalled reaction and customer service. Contrast to Mulqueen. Walk in, all the machines are on & ready to play with. I had called to check availability of a few models and chose this location over tempe based on machines on the floor. I brought scraps with me & set to testing but was quickly confused by some of the buttons. A woman appeared right about that time, sat down next to me and walked me through it. Keep in mind this was a $500 machine not $3k or something. She even suggested a less expensive version next to it often used in their classes (Janome) ultimately decided this was too basic & I missed computerized so she walked me to the Juki I requested next & I quickly set to work testing it. This particular model (hzl f600) was over m y budget but I knew the basic functionality was similar to the ones I was considering. Absolutely loved it! Denim, slippery rayon, no issues. She said you know we might have this used. She walked me to the oasis of used/refurb machines. They had every machine I was considering-available used/refurb and under $1k!! I ultimately got the f600 used -could not be happier-and saved enough to buy way more fabric than I need. My only complaint is we need a location in Phoenix or Scottsdale!!!! The gentleman in the refurb area was also super helpful answering questions the woman couldn't (she had long gray hair but didn't catch a name). Well worth the 35 minute drive & seriously only place I will go for machines.

The demo portion of the class was a little hard to remember at first, but the instructors were so nice and came around to help us step by step, ensuring our pottery pieces came out perfect.

What I really loved about this experience is that in three weeks, my mom and I get to come back and paint our pieces! If anyone in Arizona is looking for a fun class to do with friends or just wants to try something new in the city, I highly recommend this art studio! The classes are very affordable; it was only $65.00 per person, which is a STEAL!
