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

All the employees I've met at the store are extremely useful with suggestions. The prices arent bad and the clearance section is wonderful. There are also used patterns.

Some great bargains and friendly staff (but don't ask for too many samples!) This is a good bet for central boston/chinatown
