Current Tags What is a Tag:
Have you bought anything from this store? If yes were the prices competitive?
I purchased a linen blend. The prices are hit and miss. The best deal is on wool at $10/yd for designer wool. I thought $5/yd for stretch shirting was about average. The $1.99 fabric isn't anything I'd ever wear. Perhaps you could use it for muslins.

Were the sales people polite and friendly?
The owner is the only person there. He says hello and then leaves you alone unless you have questions.

How would you rate the quality of the item this store sells?
This is a store where you get what you pay for.

How was your shopping experience. Is there anything you did not like about this store?
It's a really small store. The fabric is lined up against the wall, organized by price. I like things organized by type of fabric.

Would you shop here again?
Yes. The wool is gorgeous!

Would you recommend this store to others?
Only for wool. The other stuff I see there isn't really unique. You could get similar stuff at the same or better prices elsewhere.

Any other comments you would like to add?
If you happen to be downtwon, you should stop by. I wouldn't plan my day around a trip to this store.
