Out of Hand

What an amazing selection of fabrics and surprisingly organized!!! One everyone of my visits I’ve gotten lots of offered to help me find something in particular or have had a friendly chat with the sales ladies (no, no one was waiting for them).
I never knew Dr Seuss fabric or minion fabric was available in Canada for sale until I went to this store.
Only downside is that the place is too small for what they have.

My first time at this store — I’m a quilter but Wow! Loved it. A person could spend many, many hours here and not see it all. The lady who waited on me was great, offered to order a pattern that she only had in «Winter» but came in other seasons as well. They have classes too. Quite crowded but an absolute delight.

I love everything about this store including the owner and the staff. There are no other stores out there with the selection of top quality fabrics and everything else that this store has. We are very lucky to have this great resource in our city.

Quite an assortment of fabrics and apparently they offer classes. They also get rude when you refuse their offer for help

This is a wonderful store packed to the brim full of gems! I’m not a regular sewer but go there for wonderful ribbon, fabric, and buttons for my other projects (including book making). Its also wonderful to go just to see what other kind of projects they have to make that you may never have even thought of — the teddy bears and dolls are wonderful. They do quilting, punch needle, high quality felted wool and much more.
One thing to keep in mind, this is not somewhere like Fanny’s Fabrics. This is a store with high quality merchandise and you do need to be respectful and careful of it. If you bring in a coffee, expect to be asked to leave it at the front desk (I can’t imagine carrying a coffee around in there, it would be way to dangerous!) .
The staff are wonderfully helpful and if you describe your project will spend time with you helping to find the right colours and accessories.

This is my favourite store for fabric. I am not a quilter but use fabric for many of my projects. The staff are amazing! They always remember me even though I live in Edmonton and when I lived in Toronto they offered to send me fabric. It is a small store with floor to ceiling stock on a variety of fabric styles and types. Yesterday we were approached by three staff members offering to help us find what we need. We were able to get our fabric cut and paid for in a fraction of the time you expect at the bigger stores with more staff. Sometimes it is a squeeze because it is so popular, but it is worth it.
The owner always takes time to ask me what my latest project is and offers tidbits to make it even better. Love the attention I get from their service.
It is my first stop every time we go to Calgary and I always leave with a huge stash of fat quarters.

this shop is packed!!! Wall to wall quilting cotton. I love going into stores like this.
I was looking for jersey and entered the store for the first time not realizing it was a quilting shop. When I asked the lady gave me a miserable and snotty «no» as if I was asking for watermelons or something. Sheesh! Sorry for asking lady!
This store is getting as many stars from me because of my initial experience before I spoke with ol’ grumpy pants. Like I said… wall to wall prints!!!

I agree with the first reviewer. Customer service is lacking, as I have observed on my three visits there. Inventory may be great, but service is missing.

This is quite a nifty little sewing shop. The store it literally packed with everything sewing! As soon as you walk in you are met with walls of fabrics, shelves of thread, and stand of accessories.
What made this sewing shop stand out a bit from other ones were the already made clothes they had for sale in the place. Or, you could buy the fabric and pattern and make one yourself for much, much cheaper. Some of the things were actually quite cute too.
The thing I didn’t like about this place was that, upon entry, I wasn’t greeted with a ‘hello’ or even a nod in my general direction. Instead, the first thing a saleslady said to me was, ‘Excuse me! You have to leave your coffee up here.” That was fine, but at least greet me pleasantly please. I wasn’t offered a hand the whole time I was in there. The workers were too busy chatting with their friends about vacations taken and ones coming up.
I was fascinated with some of the sewing gadgets they had, though. There was something called liquid thread and I guess you just put it on clothes and stick them together. That really takes the hassle out of sewing, doesn’t it? They also had a bunch of fabric glitter, ironing tools, ribbons, and, of course, an abundance of fabric.
If you need it for sewing, they have it!
