Marshall Discount Fabrics

My brother was showing me pictures from his last trip here so I had to stop by for my next cosplay costumes and oh man I love him for it. They had a nice section of faux fur and it’s just so neat and all the shelves are labelled so if you need spandex or pleather you can almost see where you need it cause the shelves are about 4 ½ feet tall so I can find it all. The guy who was working there was super knowledgeable about making adjustments and where to make proper cuts. My only complaint is their thread selection was very minimal :(

Okay, so I really struggled with what rating to give Marshalls, and after much thought I have settled on the whole 5 stars.
I am in no way an expert seamstress, but I do enjoy making quilts for my family and friends and decided that this christmas, thats what everybody would be getting. So the fabric stores in my area have been seeing a lot of me. I typically go to Fabricland because I caved in and bought the membership, which has awarded me some great discounts. However, they did not have the selection of colors I needed, so off to Marshalls I went.
The layout of this store is great. It is highly organized and logical, and their swatches are organized in groups of colors, which makes for easy browsing. I was a little confused about where to find prices, but the lady at the front desk I asked to help me was absolutely amazing! She took the time to explain the layout of the store to me, how to find the pricing, directed me to the discount bin, and spent some time helping me look for a fabric in the color I wanted. The only critique I had for this store is that their prices are considerably higher than what I pay with my membership at Fabricland, but the difference is in the customer service and the array of product. My fabric was cut immediately and I did’t have to run around looking for a cutting table and stand in a big line. How refreshing! I really commend the staff member that spent so much time helping me, and it’s unfortunate I didn’t ask her name because she is definitely the person I would direct you to if you need any help.
Overall, it was a great experience!

I make a lot of costumes for my daughter and I. Her dance solos are my favorite. I picked up a tonne of fabric while in California’s fabric district but still found some nice dance fabrics here.
The staff was very helpful, which was good as the dance fabric was in a couple of diffetent places. I did find the prices for dance wear fabrics a little high expecially since it was a discount store. I would have to check on line to see the difference.
The variety of notions was pretty slim. So I will stick to Fabricland or online sources.

Shopped here for the first time. I’ve been wanting to for some time. They have an amazing selection of dance/​sport/​swim fabric average regular price $ 18. There were fabrics that I had not seen at any Fabricland. Plus they carry every True a Timber product and color.
Their regular serger thread price and selection was great. I picked up what was on my list and added some extras. Good selection of fold over elastic and bargain price on what I wanted. Service was good the person who cut my fabric suggested a shop near by where I could get a replacement bobbin cover. She also work the name, phone number and address on the Marshall business card.

I keep returning to Marshalls again and again. It took a while to figure out the store layout, but it rarely changes, so the fabric types are easy to find now. I like that they are sorted by color as well.
The dancewear and swimwear fabric sections really stand out here. So many stretchy fabrics at good prices, and in such an array of colors.
There are also about 20 different kinds of fun fur. A nice selection, with some cheap stuff, and some nice stuff.
The upholstery section is enormous as well!
There are only the very basic notions here, not much in the way of buttons, zippers, or patterns. They do have a suitable amount of serger thread, and at good prices.
If you happen to be wanting to buy a certain fabric, and a bunch of it, the boss will try to source it for you. It just might take a month or two!

Do it. Shop here.
Kind of a pain to find if you’re unfamiliar with the complex it’s next to, as you will feel inclined to turn into large parking lot with the brown building, (Union Hall, etc.,) but listen to your GPS when it tries to steer you up into a strange, industrial-​looking complex. You will find ample parking out front.
The store has a bit of a refurbished warehouse feel, (for good reason,) and it can take a minute or two to figure out where you need to be, but you’ll find a ton of fabric not generally on hand at the chain stores (or at least not until recently). The prices may seem a bit high, but remember you’re supporting local (and they have a fantastic clearance section spanning the length of the east side of the store). Notions are clean and organized in one place and they even let you rummage through the patterns on your own (just don’t be a jerk about it).

I’ve been spending a lot of time in fabric stores as I gather things for the wedding dress my friend is making me. This place has been a pretty regular stop on my fabric quest :) They’ve got a large, really diverse selection of fabrics, including a few rather nice brocades (which I had been looking everywhere for but with little luck– but their selection is nearly comparable to the Indian fabric stores I looked at). The prices are very good. It’s a bit out of the way, but I find it worthwhile to make the trip anyway. It’s also a little dusty in there, and their selection of trims could be improved upon, but overall I’m a fan :) It’s a good place to go if you want something a little different.

Today was my first visit at Marshall Discount Fabrics. What a wonderful discovery! I was looking for baby ric rac (which is not available elsewhere in colors other than silver and gold). I found so much more as I was shopping around.
Having just recently started sewing again this was like entering in fabric heaven. Everything is well organized and clean. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. I will definitely be back to do more shopping in the near future.

Wide selection of fabric at great prices! They even carry some of the hard to find fabrics such as PVC, and other types of costuming fabrics! There’s also a lot of flannel prints to choose from. All the fabrics are typically organized by color.
A drawback here is that I noticed that some of the fabrics they stock have sat there for literally years at this point and haven’t moved at all. If stuff isn’t selling, it’s better to just cut your losses and sell it at a discount.
They also don’t stock as much Asian prints as they used to. I used to get a lot of prints here!
Despite the drawbacks I listed above, there’s still a great selection of fabric and worth checking out.

I recently have been taking up sewing. I was told that Marshall was cheaper than Wal-​mart for fabric. It was overwhelming I could have spent a whole day in Marshall’s. I guess everyone will be getting blankets for Christmas if I keep hitting up bargains here.
I give it 4 stars just because it was not the cleanest place and also it is a little bit hidden and my gps did not take me right to the spot.

I only go here when I have to, it’s so far from home.
The selection is decent, but I find the store to be a bit haphazard. I scraped my hand pretty good on one of their displays yesterday. Giving it a closer look, it really wouldn’t be the best display for the sales floor.
The prices are good, comparable to Fabricland (but no membership needed!). They do their best to organize their fabrics by type, which is helpful. I like the fact that they have a medium-​large selection of swimwear/​dance fabric.
In the past I haven’t found the customer service to be the best. I also don’t think they do enough to make their employees stand out. Most of them look like they could be customers.

Honestly, I don’t know what it is about fabric stores that I love so much — I don’t even know how to sew.
But I did go here in an attempt to find some fabric for a headboard I was going to make.
Marshall’s has a huge selection of fabrics and at really good prices. The people are not as helpful as those at fabricland, but that is not an essential thing for me — chances are, people who are shopping here know what they are looking for and if not, they will ask for help.
The fabrics seem to all be of good quality and I enjoyed browsing through the store. If I ever learn to sew — this is where I will buy my fabrics.
