I asked a guy at store to cut the fabric for 1 yard. There were 2 yards left and he told me he can’t cut it because it’d be one yard left so I either have to buy 2 yards on my cost or change my mind to different color.I was so puzzled and told him that it was sold by yard and why he can’t cut it.He started yelling at me, “My boss needs to make money, I can’t leave one yard left on roll! My boss needs to make money!! Go choose the different color!! That’s not my policy but my boss needs make money!”Man, your boss making away too much money than you expecting.Horrible service.

Love this place found out about them when they used to do warehouse pop-ups on 125th street. If your on a fabric budget or pressed for time with a project definitely check them out.

I gave 5 stars because they had a lot of great yarn selection.But there was a guy who kept looking at me like I was up to no good. I didnt like that at all. If it wasnt for the yarn selection this store would have gotten a 3.

Over priced synthetic fabrics. No natural fibers, just poly, poly, poly.Sewing machines over priced- cheaper online. Ok for zippers, buttons, upholstery and foam.

I love the store and go here before I go to Michaels. I just started a small business of making beanies, flower crowns and the like. I try and go to this store before checking any other store for products. This is the only location that I found large pom poms that are actually cute and stay in place. The staff is quite friendly and the store is relatively empty so Im not too worried about bumping into people are checking out items for way too long and having to move out of peoples way. Ive gone on different days and in different times in the week and I could say that the staff is normally friendly no matter the day or time.

Awesome store! Awesome staff! Yes some of the prices are a little higher in comparison to Michaels or such. But youre in Manhattan. Thee most expensive burough to live in. What do you expect? Overall, I love this Save-A-Thon even if Im cheating on the Brooklyn & Queens one with them 😂.

Review №29

I frequently shop here for all my Crafting supplies. The prices are far better than Michaels.Diya LISTEN UP ! I found the perfect fabric to make a reversable Duvet cover AND a great coordinating fabric to customize the lampshades to match. All the supplies are here for prices that cant be believed. Great big Leather pelts for less than half of what it costs in the fabric district. Upholstery and Dressmaking fabrics too! Cushion fillers, Buttons for childrens garments, everything without being overwhelmed.The staff is always friendly, the music is always upbeat and unlike other stores, they actually WANT to hear about what youre creating and love photos.A great place to shop!

Ki
Review №47

Its an okay fabric store very fast in all of their items being that this is the flagship store I expected more customer service and that the front desk girl would know that there is pattern paper for sale but the manager informed me that there was and it was Kraft paper? I would think a Fabrics of the stature should at least carry actual professional pattern paper? Maybe Im Wrong. But I was impressed with the fact that they have classes in the back and I actually might be interested in taking part in one.

Review №52

Nice craft and fabric store that has withstood the test of time. Its nice to see in Spanish Harlem. The products are a little cheap and the store is a little dirty. Would rather make the trek to Michaels Arts & Crafts on the west side or the garment district for fabric. If youre local here, its nice for emergency craft supplies.

Review №56

I absolutely love this fabric store. I decided to make a lot of things myself with my friends for my babyshower and I was able to find everything i needed. I wasnt knowledgeable on getting fabric by the yard so I probably spent more than necessary. Make sure you go in with a clear idea of how much fabric you need cause then youll be over or under guessing. The second floor is dedicated to yarn, wedding decor, party decor and baking.

Review №57

I dont like Save A Thon mainly the one at 3rd Avenue between 104th and 105th Street. Their fabric is super mega ugly and there is this rude old lady who works there and had a problem with me buying elastic since Ive been buying elastic from there and had the nerve to almost deny me service until I told her I wasnt there just for elastic. Dont bother going to the Save A Thon at 3rd Avenue between 104th and 105th Street. They stink!!!!!!!!

Review №68

A good find! In a city as busy as NYC, it is difficult to look for that proverbial ‘needle in the haystack’! But, in this shop you will find all kinds of needles, wool, cloth, buttons, threads, embroidery threads, et al! What an Aladdin’s cave, full of treasures. It is one of the few such stores left. Great for all those who love knitting, crocheting, embroidery and other crafts. Oh! In case you need stitching classes, this is the right place.

Review №78

This use to be the best store. Theres more yarn than anything else. The owner delivered old dusty baskets, and a dirty hamper type thing, to put products for customers to purchase. This store needs serious remodeling. Place back the products to give customers variety. Its unorganized, and the products that are there, they never keep up stock.Bring back the vases....wall decore....candle holders like before. PLEASE remove the yarn from the front and put in the back, organizing it better, keep up on inventory, dont drop off dirty products to sell and please fix the floor and clean it.

Not accessible for the disabled. Im wheelchair bound and when I wasnt, all of the amazing things they have are upstairs and I always purchased something. Great place for cloth, yarn, sewing classes, interior design but... Damnit - I wish I could go upstairs again. Get an elevator or a chair lift, people!! 😕😟

Review №94

They have two floors and the second floor is only accessible via stairs so that if you have bad knees use a walker or wheelchair or have a baby stroller you are out of luck. The store is not very well organized some sewing trims are on the first floor while others are on the second floor. They have pattern catalogs but very few times have the actual pattern. A big number of their sewing machines are refurbished. As the only textile store around the neighborhood its okay. The associates are nice.
