Northwest/Marshall Fabrics

I go here all the time for quality discount fabrics for personal and with work. Usually you’re hard pressed to get help and the staff is grumpy. However yesterday I took my students for fabric shopping and the store was all rearranged and a very helpful and pleasant woman assisted us in Bridal. She gave us swatches right there and even helped us find particular fabrics. We went back later (after fabrics were picked from swatches) and bought fabric for class and she pleasantly greeted us! It was a nice experience.

This place is huge and probably has anything you need. (Fabric for decorating, upholstery, weddings, sewing etc.) I used to love going there until recently… it seriously smells horrible in there… like rotten cheese and dead bodies. I’m not kidding it stinks. If you can get past the strange smells that’s popped up it is definitely worth it to go.

This place is HUGE, warehouse huge. Every time I am in this place I spend at least an hour looking through the enormous amount of fabric. Something I’ve come to appreciate about this place is that they have signs with fabric type written over every gigantic section. I only gave this place 3 stars because the service is hit or miss (usually miss)… it’s usually a lot better if you’re dealing with someone in their 20’s (in my personal experience). Also the prices are not always attached to fabric bolts, that wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if I didn’t already dislike interacting with the people who work here. It’s rare to find trendy fabric here (the way you will at Fabricland) but they have classics and basics at extremely fair prices (and you don’t even have to have a membership).
