I was very disappointed in the Textile Fabric Store and will not likely go there again. I found the management and store clerks rude and unfriendly and not willing to help at all. The only thing this establishment is concerned with is their own bottom line, not whether or not they can truly help their customers have a nice shopping experience, not whether they can instill a love of sewing, or an appreciation of creating a garment. \r

I had stopped in to look for fabrics for a group of children needing costumes at my son's elementary school. A group of us mom's were involved in sewing the costumes and although I hadn't sewn for years, I felt up to the challenge. When I went into the store and started looking around I found a dozen possible fabrics that were good contenders for what we were looking for. Although it had been some time since I had been in a fabric store, I never had the experience that I had here. \r

I had wrongly assumed that I would be able to have small little samples of the fabrics, that took me three hours to find and decide upon...but, noooo. They have a policy of not giving out samples. (since when do fabric stores not allow their patrons to have some small fabric samples?) She coldly smiled and looked at me and said, oh no honey...we aren't allowed to do that- you have to buy the fabric and the minimum yardage we sell is 1/4 of a yd. Really? So I wasted my entire afternoon and had nothing to bring back to school the next day to show the other moms. Needless to say, we all decided to take our business elsewhere.
