I called for something very specific, they were referred to me by another retail store. I have never been treated so cold and so rude on the phone in my life. Like I was wasting their time. Not sure how that one has been in business all these years. . . never again for me.

Being a sewing newbie, I heard that Nancy's was the place to go for great "notions" and to get assistance picking fabrics, etc. Unfortunately, instead of help I received a harried salesperson waving her arm in a general direction telling me that the "knit fabrics are over there." She actually cut me off as I was trying to explain and show her the pattern I had brought with me. This was after I stood at the counter for a few minutes patiently waiting for help, to no avail (there was no one else waiting for help at the counter -- the workers managed to studiously ignore me until I vocalized my request for help). The woman who cut my fabric was unpleasant. I received nary a smile from anyone there. It could have been because it was a busy Saturday (still, not that many customers), but they managed to make me feel like a total annoyance. The fabrics were very pretty and they had a wonderful variety, but I'll never go to Nancy's again. Pros: really pretty stuff Cons: attitude of staff, traffic on queen anne ave

As a recovering sewaholic, it's hard to walk into a fabric store and not get just a bit of something. I just went to Nancy's and I thought, "Man, this place has all the fabrics I dream about, but can never find." If you just want some cheap stuff, go someplace else, but if you're looking for unique, interesting, and colorful fabrics, then this is the place. I'm making my wedding dress and am reconsidering fabrics cause I saw so many awesome ones at Nancy's.

My bridal gown was custom sewn, and I was in charge of picking up the fabric. I knew what I wanted, and thank goodness someone pointed me toward Nancy's Sewing Basket. Their selection of silk dupioni fabric was very wide, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. They also offer a bridal discount, which was very much appreciated since I was buying almost 20 yards of expensive fabric! I'll definitely be back.

Be careful when you enter Nancy's, you'll suddenly come up with all these projects you want to complete. You'll NEED the beautiful silks and ribbons. Maybe don't bring your wallet in the first go-round. The fabrics are beautiful. Great place to find bridal lace and other special occasion fabrics. The ribbons and flowers, all in their special room, are to die for. There are vintage ribbons that are fun just to look at. If you need something special for your project, you'll find it at Nancy's.

Home of a ribbon room, Nancy's Sewing Basket is amazing. Filled with fabric and notions, the store is a textural wonderland. You'll find nearly everything you want, let alone can imagine. Their assortment of ribbon is astounding...after all, it's in its own room! It's a store where you will never see everything they have to offer, yet you won't feel too crowded, either. They carry everything from purse handles to buttons, enabling one to pick up all the supplies for a project Saturday morning and end the weekend with a new creation.

This is one of the few places in town to get quality fashion fabrics. They have a wonderful selection. I bought the sik for my wedding dress here and my friend go the wool and linen for her wedding dress and my bridesmaid dress. The prices are reflective of the high quality of the fabrics. They carry a few lines of patterns. The real bonus is ribbon room in the back! It has some gorgeous woven ribbons. The staff is not quite as friendly as I had hoped. I guess they don't have to be friendly since they are the only shop in town. Keeps them from making 5 stars from me.

This store has some of the most beautiful fabrics I hever ever seen in my whole life. I was told it was just a little quilting shop, but how wrong! They have quite the selection of all kinds of fabrrics. If you're doing something for a special occasion, go here. They're run of the mill fabrics are a little more overpriced than the regular chain stores, but everything else is wy cool. Even if you're not buying that particular day, go look around and enjoy the eye candy. Pros: wonderful selection, nice ambience, fun store Cons: lack of parking
