Mulqueen Sewing & Fabric Centers

Nice staff — everyone was kind and all my questions were answered by experienced people. Good selection of fabric, machines and other accessories. However, I learned after purchasing that this sewing center is highly over priced as far as machines go. If I would have shopped around, I would have saved over $ 100 by shopping at any other retailer and over $ 150 if I would have purchased through Amazon.

A welcoming shop!
Friendly helpful service! Mid range quilting fabric. Store offers quilting classes of all types. Employees offer to help and explain about the classes offered. That friendly atmosphere makes for a positive visit.

Gorgeous selection of quilting-​friendly fabric: for about 15 exciting minutes, I wanted to quit my job and devote my life a project that involves covering the vacant lot near my house in a life-​sized garden constructed entirely from fabrics in colorful small-​scale prints.
«Colorful» is the key word here: this is not your shop for calicos and chintzes in muted earthtones (for that, the shop up in Cave Creek is your best bet). Patterns are up-​to-​date, even trendy, and there’s an entire section of «western» designs. If I had the space and budget to keep fabric around just to pet it and croon over it, I’d be stocking up here. (Prices are reasonable and non-​scary, though not cheap-​cheap-​cheap. But I expect to pay a tad more for something I can’t get at Walmart or Joann.)
Staff is very nice, though they inevitably give «the look» when they discover I’m not a serious sewing buff and want only half a yard of one fabric. I think sewing store staff have regional association meetings where they practice «the look» and «the sigh» for people like me who aren’t bulk buyers. The clerk did (sensibly) promote their sewing classes, and since the group taking one sure sounded like they were having fun, I might explore this plan later.
