Fabric World

This is the place for cheap decorator fabrics & accessories. I’m recovering a vintage sofa and two antique chairs — all of which require that everything except the wood be replaced. I purchased foam for half of what another fabric store charged (¹⁄₃ for Joann’s); the upholstery fabric was $ 3.00 a yard (10% of what I’d budgeted); and the batting was 75% less! 18×18 throw pillows were $ 3.99, compared to $ 10 at Hobby Lobby.
The owners buy out stock of closing stores, thus the cheap prices. The only downside is that sometimes it’s hard to find current patterns and colors. I wasn’t able to find accent colors.
I spent a little over half of the total I budgeted for sofa fabric — on all that I needed!
I’ve been in several times and didn’t find the customer service to be stellar, but I didn’t find it to be awful, either. They’re always busy and maybe that comes off as aloof to some customers.
All in all, I don’t mind aloof if it means a savings of several hundred dollars!

The prices here were insanely affordable! We visited recently for Halloween costumes and Halloween decorations we are making and wow… the perfect place to visit! They had whole rolls of rope and ribbon for 1 $, fabric for super low price per yard and they had a great selection of fabrics as well. When you are finished shopping you can have the employees cut your fabric and then check-​out. The employees were also friendly working here. I would much rather visit here then visit Jo-​Anns or Micheals for fabric or anything of that nature!

This place is amazing. Found upholstery on the remnant table for only $ 2. Scored fabric and two curtain rods for $ 12. Other fabrics were $ 2/​yard which is also a great deal. Great customer service.

Here’s the lowdown: They have the best prices anywhere within driving range of Atlanta. You can get lush upholstery-​grade fabrics– velvets, jacquards, tapestries– for $ 2.99 a yard; the selection is typically huge. They sell basics like calicos, knits and interfacing for $ 1.99 a yard. They have specialty fabrics like vinyl, felt, plastic. They have a large selection of elaborate trims ranging from $ 1.00-$ 3.99 a yard. They sometimes carry accents like buckles, buttons, snaps and bows, in bulk quantities. There’s always a discount sale, usually 50% off a category of item. All of this makes them a very dangerous stop for anyone trying to save money or closet space.
Downsides– They’re closed Sunday and Monday. It’s a factory-​floor environment, where you have to serve yourself. The cutting/​checkout service can be very slow, and lines can be long. Their remnants are not discounted ($ 2.99 a yard). Their stock is random; overstock from industrial sources– it can’t be ordered, and you can’t go there expecting to find staple products.
Overall, an indispensable resource for costumers and home decorators. For everyone else, worth a look!

This is not an off brand Joann’s, Hancock, or Hobby Lobby, so if you’re looking for quilting fabric or a cute calico for a little girl’s dress, this is not the place for you probably.
However, if you’re looking for decorator fabric or just something different for clothes, this is the place. It is aimed for decorators, so maybe these clothes will be costumes, but you never know. You never know just what you’ll find, but it’s worth checking out. Nearly everything is $ 3.99 a yard or less, and if you catch a sale, it can be as low as $ 1 a yard! And you just might find the fabric for that dress for your daughter. Notions are also low, and if you ever needed tassels, this is your place.
As far as customer service, most workers are not overly friendly, but they certainly weren’t rude to me. The manager or owner (I’m not sure) was really nice.
Yes, I would definitely recommend this store to a more eclectic crafter.

I love this place. You never know what you’ll find.
As a Historical Re creationist, you can spend a lot of money on fabric, especially when your dress is 12 – 14 yards of fabric! Just recently, I walked out of there with Embroidered Silk fabric at $ 1.00 a yard! I got an ENTIRE SPOOL (about 12 yards on it) of silk tassel trim for $ 4.00 I got buttons made of antler horn for one penny each. And 60″ wide heavy (carpet weight) Persian patterned woven fabric to carpet my entire tent for $ 1.99 a yard.
The owner is great, and is not above cutting fabric, helping a customer or running the cash register. If you want something specific, he’ll find it for you and order it if he can.
The employees are mentally present (as opposed to the vacant headed types you usually find) and always willing to chat or joke around.
The only down side is that they are closed on Sunday and Monday. But if that means that I have to shop Tuesday, I’ll do it gladly when I see how MUCH MONEY I SAVE!

Umm. Hmm. This store isn’t quite was I was looking for, but considering the lack of choices in fabric stores in Atlanta I like to go here because I can find cheap interesting fabrics to make dresses out of. Mind you, these are dresses that could have been drapes or couch coverings but I can still find some treasures in here for $ 1-​$ 2 per yard and fabrics that I can use for lining and in place of muslin for like 80 cents. I just gave 3 stars because it’s not what I was looking for as far as fabric stores for clothing, it’s (like most other fabric stores in Atlanta) for interior design and the selection is kind of… eh… eclectic… but it’s orderly, it’s spacious, the people are friendly and nice and the fabric is pretty cheap.
