Incredibly rude staff. I was looking at a poplin blend fabric and asked a staff member if it would hold pleats. He told me it would not. I then go to look at a cotton blend fabric since I know it will hold pleats, but I asked the worker if it would, just to be safe. Again, he told me it would not. Odd, this kind of fabric should work but I will take his word for it since he should know more about fabric than me. I then asked him what fabric he would suggest. He suggested chiffon. I politely told him that I would prefer something that is not sheer, and asked if they had anything else in stock that may work. His response? A shrug and an «oh well» before walking off to talk to someone else. Their fabric may be cheap, but I chose to walk away and support a business that appreciates their customers.

Super cheap fabric, especially for big orders. Good selection of satin and cotton. The place is a little difficult to find, and parking can be terrible so come prepared to drive around if you are there during a busy traffic time.

Walked in here with my elderly mother and saw some beautiful fabrics. Asked a man some questions and he seemed like he did not want us there. He did not help us so we kept looking around. My mother went back to look at it some more and the man with the earring was very rude to her. He said to stop touching the fabric and either buy it or leave. He claimed we were making a mess. I do not know how this store can even stay open with such rude people. How can someone be so rude to an elderly person and a paying customer. We were about to ask him to buy 20 yards of fabric but decided we would not support their business. Do not waste your time here.

OMG Love this place. Not that I love to share my secrets on where I get the best deals, but this is the one place that I absolutely will never pass by if im anywhere in the area. They have great quality satins at 99cents a yard or prints at 1.99. Its the quality stuff that other sell for over 2.99−3.99 or more. i buy by the roll from them because they deal in closeouts so you will probably not find the deal again. The guy who owns it is really really nice, and the employees are very helpful. they cut fast, accurate and load the goods into my car. Its always pretty busy so you have to be patient but its well worth it even if you have to wait. a few weeks ago i bought pink and blue faux leather at 99cents a yard! where can you find a deal like that in the fabric district? And they have new stuff all the time so its never a wasted trip.

This store had everything I needed and at the best price in downtown LA. The store is pretty small and generally always very busy. However, the employees there worked relatively fast and I was able to get out of there before my meter went out. I will definitely be going back, mostly because of just how good the prices were.

I usually go here for all my heavy duty satin needs. They have a variety of color and shades. This is a tiny hole in the wall corner store on a major street in the fashion district. I’ve been shopping here since 2007 and have always been satisfied with my purchases. While some fabrics are priced higher than 99 cents, it’s still a bargain than buying from JoAnn’s. I’ve made many an evening gown, sailor scout, pretty cure, etc from these high quality satins. The high qualtiy satins usually run at 1.99 a yard with a 3 yard minimum purchase, but it’s still a hell of a deal. I’ve long moved from LA to the the east coast. This is my go-to place still for high qualtiy satins at a bargain. Check it out if you’re in the area! Tip: Remember to always, always wash your fabric after purchase. While this is a no-brainer, fabric bought from the LA fashion district is outside and God knows where that fabric has been. Always, always wash!

They have good prices on some of the fabric but they are extremely rude. Despite the name, not everything is 99 cents. Some fabric is much more expensive. I was waiting outside for my mom when I heard the employee yelling and swearing at her. The employee’s math was not good.(Please see photo. The total should be 41, not 42.) The worst part is that she gave them really good business, buying 41 yards of fabric! She spent over $ 50 there. He was a little bit nicer and remorseful after I came up to him and pointed out that his math was wrong and asked for a business card because he knew this bad review was coming. That still doesn’t make up for the fact that he mistreated a customer. They definitely need to learn to treat their customers better. Street parking is extremely difficult to find in this area. There are also parking garages that you have to pay for.

Really cool little fabric store. It has become my new quick stop for all my fabric needs. The guy who’s running it is really cool and always super helpful. He sometimes has a little pile of discounted fabrics. It is small but there is always variety and new stuff fabrics every time I go. It’s a lot easier to get in and out of quickly than the larger stores but still has the same variety(at a better price)

Last week, they tried to rip me off by measuring less yards than what I asked for, and charging me the same price. Luckily my friend noticed it. I used to like this place until now.

This is my most favorite fabric store. I Heart them with a big fat heart. I’ve been shopping here for years and years. They guy who runs the place is really sweet. Very honest. It’s a small store, and their selection is ever-changing. So, it’s best not to shop here with a definite fabric in mind(though I’ve gotten lucky a few times) and just keep yourself open to the magic of a ‘good fabric find’. They always have great, very high quality fabrics available– at the amazing price of only 99 Cents a yard. They have a 3 yard minimum per fabric. Occasionally, they have a small selection of higher priced fabrics– like $ 1.49 per yard. I’ve never paid more than $ 3 per yard– and that was for silk. Silk! Beautiful silk Charmeuse at $ 3 per yard!!! Unlike other $ 1/yard fabric stores this store has natural fiber fabrics– not just polyester.
