This is a great little shop, all of the employees (and customers) were friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately, the shop didn't seem prepared to repair my Singer Touch and Sew machine. I paid for it to be serviced, and it still didn't work properly (a few issues with the bobbin winder and tension). I took it back in and they spent some time troubleshooting with me, but the end result hasn't been a working machine. I'd definitely buy fabric or supplies here, but it's not a great location if you're a Singer sewer. read more

Today, I found my happy place! After taking 3+ years off quilting, I needed to re-stock some notions. I've been to a couple of quilt shops in the area that are OK; today I found heaven. I really love the staff and owner's knowledge level and, most of all, sense of humor. I also took the opportunity to observe the long arm at work -- what fun! Warning: you can get hypnotized by that thing. The fabric selection is astounding! I'd already promised myself I would not make this a fabric shopping trip. That's the only thing that saved my pocketbook. I am in love with the wide variety of fabrics! I will be back! read more

I love this store. Lots of beautiful quality fabrics to choose from, great classes to join - and you can rent time on a long arm machine. They sell and service Janome & Elna machines as well, so if you're in the market, give them a look. read more

Fabulous quilt shop! Great staff, excellent classes and wonderful fabric selection! Kathye is super helpful and has fantastic Block of the Month projects and classes for all kinds of techniques and quilting styles. read more

The customer service was horrible. Personnel were very judgmental and not willing to help a new quilter. Then proceeded to basically bully the customer into buying material she didn't want. Just could have said we don't have that and ask if anything else would do. Not everyone knows the ins and outs of quilting and questions like "what are the dimensions of your project" may throw a newbie off balance, this is where customers service comes in, simply by asking what are you making .. a baby quilt, lap quilt, twin etc. I know I won't shop in this store, nor will I recommend it to anyone at all. Too many nice, patient quilt shops around. read more

I was very excited to find a quilt shop that carries a lot of Moda Fabrics by the bolt and in pre-cuts. The shop is bright, colorful, and spacious. The staff are warm, welcoming, and helpful. They all took interest in what I planned to do with the fabrics I purchased, and I really appreciated it. The owner is kind and wonderfully funny. They offer lots of wonderful quilting cottons, classes, and have long-arm quilting machines available. This is a fantastic quilt shop! read more

I was driving through the area and since the row by row experience is happening I thought I'd drop in. It's a very spacious quilt shop, employees were friendly and didn't hover. They had lots of Moda fabric, and I liked their fat quarter selection. They still had their 2014 row but didn't have a kit available. Ended up buying the 2015 row kit for $20. read more

Love this place, great staff and very helpful when I was looking for a special gift. Now I had no idea sewing machines cost as much as a used vehicle but they took the time to explain everything to me in detail and made sure I understood what I was getting. I learned a lot that day and that's never a bad thing! read more

This is a beautiful, warm and welcoming store. It is hidden in a large shopping center, but it is an oasis once inside. They have a great stock of yardage and bulk packs (jelly rolls). The staff is amazing and helpful. They are people that really love their work and know what they are talking about. While I didn't buy anything on my visit, I will be back! read more

The Quilters Studio is one of my favorite places to visit in Fairfax, Virginia. The women are all very helpful and knowledgeable about everything in their store. read more

I happened into this store yesterday in my quest to find some interfacing. Yes, I found exactly what I wanted but imagine my delight when I walked into a wonderland of fabric. Artful displays, great selection and helpful staff. I only wish I had more time. I will be back. Thank You for catering to us fabric lovers. read more

This studio is a must see for anyone who loves color, fabric, and inspiration. The staff is exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about sewing machines, sewing technique, quilting advice, quilting machines, etc. Did I mention that the staff is extremely happy, they are always ready to help you out no matter what the need maybe. read more

I went in to buy a sewing and quilting machine which my girls and I have thought and talked a lot about, we had done some research and they carried the brand we're interested in - I have made 2 quilts in my life and that was 30 years ago, I want to start with a simple machine to see if I even like quilting still. Honestly, I felt hostility when I looked at the lower end machines and it was implied that I should try to save and buy a higher end model - lack of funds isn't actually the issue, I genuinely don't want to buy one that does tons of stuff I will never use, also my daughters are learning and we all want just a good simple basic machine. Why stock the lower end machines if you don't think they are suitable for anyone? I was with 2 of my 4 daughters and they too felt the vibes, there is no need to look down on us because we don't want to invest in a high-end machine. Without even knowing our lifestyle, other commitments, how much time we had or what projects we intended the assistant told us we would regret it and implied we wouldn't be able to sew at all on the one we were looking at. Then she explained we could go up to something else very basic ( almost double the price - now we were in the thousands) to start with. It was really off-putting. I've asked around, joined a sewing circle and am going to buy from a store in Manassas that apparently are friendlier and kinder to first-time quilters. I felt sneered at, pressured into looking at machines I knew I didn't want and talked down to. My daughters who are 17 and polite and do sew a little, were totally ignored and their hesitant questions unanswered. It was not in an "imparting knowledge" to a newbie sort of way, there was nothing "helpful" about it. Just firm put-downs​ as if we were idiots rather than potential​ buyers trying to learn about the product. We didn't even dare go and look at the materials ( that looked wonderful) after that. Left store and won't be going back. read more

I have been to this store several times, and I must say, it's got lots of fabrics but it's hard to figure out what is where. Be ready to spend a lot of time looking for what you want. Also, the staff is often super busy with one customer who needs lots of help with a quilting problem and it can sometimes take awhile to check out. They're closed on Thursday mornings which is strange in this location. But it's nice to know they're there if you need help, but cross your fingers and hope you get a good person who can help. The fabrics are gorgeous. I wish they carried more precuts, especially layer cakes, but they barely carry anything. If they were more helpful, it would make a big difference in deciding whether or not to buy fabric there. But frankly, if you know the quality of the manufacturers you're buying from, it's so much easier to buy online. Pick Moda, RJR, Robert Kaufman and you can't go wrong. The store staff is a big hit or miss that it's like working with untrained volunteers. Some are good and some are mystified and a few are just frankly unpleasant. To my mind, a local craft shop should offer things that an online store can't offer, like direct personal service and a consistently friendly smile. This place does not do that. Missouri Star Quilt Co., Craftsy, and even lots of fabric stores on Etsy are much more helpful. Online, they're always reliable, I can find what I want quickly, searching and browsing is a breeze, and the fabrics come in a couple of days which builds that anticipation and makes it like receiving a present! Finally, I am in the market for a high end quilting and embroidery machine, but I can never find anyone to work with me to give me time to look at the machines closely and try some out, so I've already decided not to buy there. I just don't trust that I'll get the level of service that I need and with a new sewing machine, that's really important. Finally, and this is really important: they charge more for fabrics and notions, etc., than most online and other local fabric stores. read more

I was wandering around for 30 min and no one ever greeted me or asked if I needed help. I saw a few things I liked but I will order them off the internet since the staff was not interested in my business. It's a shame because I like to support local businesses. read more

Love this store! The Quilter's Studio is a wonderful addition to our community. Great diverse selection of quilting fabrics plus some wools and fashion fabrics ( currently increasing varieties). The staff is warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The store is well lit, laid out in a pleasing fashion and has plenty of parking available. The store has a wide variety of "eye candy" in terms of shop samples. The class list is extensive and I am looking forward to taking some in the future. read more

I absolutely love this shop. It is wonderful. The shop is nice and bright with lots of room. The people that work there are very friendly. Keep up the good work! read more

I love this quilt store. Great selection of fabrics and the employees are friendly and helpful. Wonderful place!

I love this store! Great selection of fabric and supplies. Friendly, helpful staff. A breath of fresh air compared to some quilt shops. I'm so grateful they opened so close to where I live. read more

This quilt shop is wonderful! The store is so bright and cheerful! The selection of fabric can't be beat! Everything from modern to country to civil war. A very nice selection of patterns and notions too. You are always welcomed when you come into the store but can wonder around to oh and ah. They've been wonderful in providing assistance when I can't figure out what I really need for my projects. You won't be disappointed! read more

As with many reviews the reader will see reviews stating outstanding service or poor service. This review is stating the outstanding service I have always received at Quilters Studio. Here are a few items to know right from the start, I am new the the quilting world, needed much information along the path of selecting fabric as well as a host of other items. Although not a complete novice to sewing I am not much more than a beginner. To date I have purchased a good deal of fabric, charm packs and notions as well as a very nice Janome Skyline 5 machine. The machine is a dream and will serve me well for many years to come. Before I bought the machine a plethora of information was given to me by Blanca; if she was unsure of a function or the answer to my questions she went forward and found the correct response instead of simply saying I don't know or making up a plausible answer. When I picked up the machine Blanca once again went over all of the details, ensured that all of the parts and accessories were accounted for by using the inventory list provided by the company. We then completed a few test samples of basic to some of the decorative stitches as well as how to use the auto needle threaded, such a delight to have when threading the needle. All of the staff is knowledgeable, careful to learn about the customer, provides great advice as well as supportive. Best of the best they do not oversell or try to get the customer to buy more than what is either needed for the project or to simply tell the customer you need this or that item. Thank you Quilters Studio I have now completed 2 quilts and several other small projects, a ton of fun and more to come. read more

Be careful of exorbitant hidden costs if you sign up for classes at the quilters studio. They don't publish supply lists/costs in the class descriptions, and their class policy states they will not give registration fee refunds once the supply lists go out. I recently signed up for a class that involves $150 or more (they could only give me estimates on what the kits and supplies cost) in supplies to be purchased from the instructor, some of which can be ordered elsewhere for half that price, bringing the class total to more than $300, when the price of my fabric is included. The registration fee was $105. I only got this information in advance of the supply list because I called and asked. When I said this was unfair to the customer, the response was "I didn't write the class description." Definitely cancelling my registration, very disappointing that they treat their customers this way. read more
