Hi moms,
Can anyone recommend a really good fabric store in Central Mass or MetroWest? I'm willing to drive a little more than normal if necessary. My favorite store, The Fabric Place in Framingham, closed recently and I'm devastated. I have been to JoAnne Fabrics in Shrewsbury and Natick but they just don't have the supply I need. I'm looking for drapery and slipcover fabrics mostly. I loved the places that would give you a little sample to take home and match against the furniture, rugs, etc. JoAnne stores have designer samples but I don't think you can cut those and take them home. It's much easier for me to look at a big bolt of fabric in the store and get a picture of what it will look like, then take a few swatches home to confirm. Also, the bigger stores usually have a better range of prices - I'm not able to spend a fortune. If you have ideas, I would appreciate it!
my friend owns Storibook Designs in Clinton, MA. her name is Sara. She could help you out. She's great! Good luck
I hear the Mill Store in Franklin, MA is very good.
D., Have you tried the Franklin Mill Store in Franklin, MA? The are located on Union Street. The do carry a variety of drapery and upholstery fabrics.

I second the Chinatown suggestion. When I got married, albeit nearly 20 years ago, I worked at the Wang Center for the Performing Arts and found a fabric shop right on Kneeland(?) Street. I bought beautiful French lace for my wedding dress, then went to the Fabric Place for the satin. I haven't been down there for years but would love to know what you find!
you have to try Zimmans in Hudson or Lowell. HUGE fabric store. Good luck (zimmans.com)
Hi D.,
Try the Franklin Mill store....you'll love it! The women there are very helpful as well.
It's located at 305 Union Street, Franklin. ###-###-####

Hi! My mother and I were discussing the same issue today. A friend told her to go to Chinatown. There are several stores there where you can find beautiful and inexpensive fabrics. We'll be attempting a trip to Chinatown soon. Let's hope there are good finds there!
Good luck!
