Kims Fabric Outlet

Great little shop. Price half of what other LQS in Yucca Valley. Great selection of fabric. Very pleasant staff and very helpful. Now belong to the COTTON CLUB there. Will be a return customer for my next project ideas.

Worst customer service I have ever recieved.
I was in the store maybe 10 minutes and the lady corrected my daughter 3 times. My four year old was not misbehaving, the minute she reached out to a touch a fabric or yarn, I would hear «don’t touch that!» «That’s how things get messy.»
This lady was so busy watching my daughter she forgot to ask me if I needed any help!
It appears they are more concerned with the appearance of the store than customer service. They should have a sign of «No children allowed» outside if they are going to be that sensitive about their products.
I will never step foot in this place again.

Lots of great assortments of beads and fabrics. Great service!

Love this store! The gentleman who works here is a quilting expert and I was teaching myself to quilt. He has been so helpful and patient and answered every question I have. I even called the store once to ask him a question.
Prices are decent for up here. Yeah, I could find it cheaper down the hill; but the service is way better!
AND, I’ve seen people of all races, creeds, and colors shopping here getting the same great service that I was getting, so I think that woman who reviewed them in August has the problem, not the owners and employees of this store. Lots of stores have «the right to refuse service» signs and it doesn’t mean their racist.

During my search for particular type of fabric I called the store before heading over there. The lady answering the phone was very helpful and explained the stock they had on hand that might work for my project. She without asking went and personally looked at what was on the floor.
Impressed, hopeful and pretty excited they had nice hours we drove to the store and was greeted by a very helpful and pleasant gentleman who asked what we needed and walked us to the section.
The store was well stocked with a variety of supplies for your sewing projects. Felts, cottons, quilts, upholstery, vinyls, beads, zippers, you name it they had a nice selection of each.
Pricing seemed fair and wouldn’t hesitate to stop in again for supplies. This is a nice store and the type of business keeps us local and not driving down the hill. Thanks!

RACIST ALERT: I have shopped here often for fabric, (and LOTS of it owners) a couple days ago I went in to buy like a half of a bolt of fabric for a project. I noticed happily on the front door a sign that said «All rolls of fabric $ 1 off a yard!»
A man I have never seen there before «helped» me. I asked for what I was looking for, I asked the price he ran in the back then told me the price and I asked plus the dollar off per yard? And he said no not this fabric I looked over his shoulder from where the bolt came from WITH the same $ 1 off sign and I pointed it out to him nicely and he got red and said sarcastically and I quote «I DON“T know what to tell you MA’AM this one is NOT on SALE…»
There are also plenty of signs all over the store that say «We have the right to refuse service to ANYONE» hmm startin to make sense now…
As a woman of color I can say unfortunately I have been treated this way before and I will have to chock this up to RACISM– I just don’t think he wanted me in his store. Request Granted Suyapi /​Pendejo!

Sewing is fun, cheap, and by far the one of the most wholesome things to do in the desert after the sun goes down.
I recently stopped in Fabric Outlet & Unique Boutique to purchase some felt for a craft project. (I’d seen some hand-​sewn ornaments in a popular home design catalogue and thought «heck, I can do that!»)
The store is stuffed with fabric — the front room is almost solely dedicated to it — and seems to be popular amongst the area seamstresses. I think the cash register was in use during the entire hour that I browsed.
Towards the back of the store, just before you get to the register, is one of several racks of clothing (which, I presume, comprise the Unique Boutique). The clothing consists predominantly of flowing hippy dresses, sundresses, and skirts, but there are some cotton /​organic-​looking pieces and some sweaters and jackets thrown in for good measure. There’s an entire wall of buttons, a two-​tiered rack of embroidery thread that utterly flummoxed the color wheel in my brain («ooh, I like this brown.» *turns rack* «no, THIS is the brown I like.» *turns rack* «ok, wait a minute, is this a different brown or the same brown?») They have every color and shade of the embroidery rainbow and then some. They also stock about 12 different colors of felt of varying thicknesses and prices.
In the back room of the store are more racks of clothing and a secret filing cabinet filled with vintage iron-​on embroidery patterns — some of which are gigantic and others of which are small, but all of them are adorable and reminiscent of my grandma. The store stocks several of Sublime Stitching’s themed pattern collections, such as the Country Cool one that I purchased, which boasts a cowboy boot, a cactus, horseshows, pistols, a snake, a cowboy hat, and a sexy cowgirl. There are several how-​to-​embroider books, a book called Embroidery For Dummies that the nice lady in the store recommended that I purchase (um, thanks, I think?), multi-​packs of embroidery thread, hoops, plain white handerchiefs and pillowcases, needles of all sizes, and modern-​day patterns.
After selecting some felt, I decided to throw my sew-​tard caution to the wind. Based in part on the helpful advice of one of the staff, I purchased several cowgirl-​themed patterns, some hoops, a giant multi-​pack of thread, some needles, and some handkerchiefs on which to practice my burgeoning skills of patience and craft.
To say that I’m a bit of a sewing retard would be the understatement of the year, and the kind ladies who run this store CLEARLY had me pegged for a novice the minute I asked if embroidery was hard. But they offered me one-​on-​one service without laughing, they showed me the super secret filing cabinet of grandma patterns, and they convinced me that I, too, might someday own a bazillion hand-​embroidered handkerchiefs that I can pass down to my grand-​daughter, much like those passed down to me.
Except mine will have guns on them.
