A few years back I stumbled upon this place and I've been hooked ever since. It's not always consistent in terms of stock, but I inevitably find something cool everytime I go. The staff knows sewing and is fantastic about helping customers come up with ideas and work-arounds. As for the reviewer who complained about having t'o show ID... it's store policy. Pay with a credit card and they ask for ID. I'm a white girl and I've been in the place more times than I can count; they still ask for my ID if I hand them a credit card. They do it across the board, making it equitable and certainly no reason to get your knockers in a knot. Bonus for cat lovers... The store is home to an adorably lazy feline who lounges around on the flat folds all day. Gotta love that!
Pros: Knowledgable Staff, Excellent Prices
Cons: Inconsistent Selection, Location

I've been there few times, the shops is nice and the fabric is affordable. There are 2 people works there, one of them asked me for my ID, which I've never saw her do it to other people. I was of course very offended. If you are white, you will recommend this, but I'm not and only reason I go there is just not too many shops carry so many fabrics, notions. P.S. One other person is very nice, I will try go to her from now on..
Pros: fabrics are affordable and many selections
Cons: If you happened to be a not white person, you might get some offensive attitude from sales person
