Queen Textiles

I really appreciated the patient, personal help I received from the staff at this store. A woman named Helen helped us find the perfect fabric for my wedding dress. She offered advice and recommendations without being pushy, and even suggested the three of us look at it outside the store to make sure the colours didn’t look different in the sunlight. I agree the store is very cramped and packed to the gills with fabric, but that’s the name of the game when it comes to Toronto’s fashion district. This store is also very reasonably priced and I fully recommend checking it out!

A fabric store is a fabric store. I hardly walk into these, but I was with my aunt hunting for cheap fabric to make a dress for school. What were we looking for: a soft, but a certain thickness fabric, solid green or blue. We walked down queen st west and this was one of the stores we walked into.
It’s a mess in here. It’s impossible to look for anything. This is pretty common between all the other fabric stores around, but this one was unbearable. You can’t even walk through the aisle, oh wait! there’s hardly even an aisle.
This place was one of the most uncomfortable places to search for fabric. There was two workers at the time when we entered, one was really quiet and really friendly, but kind of didn’t know much when we asked her for help. She asked the other worker if she had any recommendation. The second lady knew quiet a few, but none was in our price range! We told her numerous of times of our price range and she was like, I KNOW THE EXACT ONE YOU’RE LOOKING FOR… and it was over our price range. But, as she was helping, she seemed not amused to serve us and sighed quiet a few times, giving us the feeling we were unwanted in there.
My aunt politely told her, we might come back later and we just walked out.
I don’t recommend this place for anyone who is new to fabric or is unsure about what to use. They have tons and tons to choose from, so if you have a lot of time on your hands and in need of many options, give this place a try. Also, their prices are typical for fabric, but the ones she displayed to us was pretty pricey.

this is one of the best priced fabric stores on the queen west strip. it’s not pretentious– if anything it’s a bit run-​down. when i wandered in i was the only person in the store and there was one quiet chinese woman behind the cutting table. she quietly waited for me to fumble through the narrow aisles, and then gave me a discount off the already very reasonable cotton printed fabric (i believe it was $ 3 a yd)
i’d definitely go back.
