Yardage Town

5 starts for Evelyn. She was so helpful and knowledgeable and sweet. What a great help and wonderful person!

The girls that work here are so sweet and helpful — it’s a 20 minute drive for me and I always make it so that I can choose from a huge selection of fabric and talk to the wonderful staff.

Ok. So while this place has tons of fabrics and tons of other items… DO NOT EXPECT AN OUNCE OF GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. This was not my first time in a fabric store but my first time buying fabric. I was unsure on how the process was to go. After standing around for quite some time, my boyfriend pulled the fabric off of its stand and put it on the table (that I am assuming a worker was supposed to be around). As I was about to take scissors to the fabric myself, I thought twice and decided to hunt down an employee. Finally, after wandering clear a crossed to the other side of the store I found an employee! The convo went a little something like this:
Me– Hi! Are we able to cut the fabric?
Employee– No. We cut it.
Me– Ok great! Can I ask you for your help to do so?
Employee– No. There should be someone over there. Isn’t there?
Me– Well no that is why I came looking for you.
Employee– There should be someone up front to help you *walks away*
I stood there shocked that she did this! So I walk around to the front, no one there. I walk back to my boyfriend standing by the fabric. Someone is finally there! He was very nice and helpful. Then we go to the register. This lady was on a personal call the whole time!!!
Customer service is very important to me. Just a bit disappointed in the service I received. I hope they can prove me wrong for you or in the future.

I’m a regular here and for years, the Chula Vista store. You can get good monthly discounts up to 40% off and often 20% on most things. I second everything good mentioned on all other reviews but I’m writing this one important thing at the National City store. Hank! The separate section that is a sewing machine repair service and sales of new and used machines. This guy is a gem. I searched vendors all over the country for a coverlock and a serger machine which can be pricey (and ambitious for someone who loves to but is not so great at sewing) I stepped in there to ask him a question and he beat any price I had found previously. I’m taking my regular machine there for annual tune up $ 49 but he has helped me out on the phone with technical questions for things unrelated the machine I bought there. That kind of service makes loyal customers like me.

Very nice staff at the Chula Vista location and great fabric selection. My only complaint about this place is I’ve bought fabric here twice now that has had holes in it from a tag gun and I didn’t see it until I got home. I really like this place but will ask to see the yardage before it’s cut next time. Really wish they wouldn’t use the tag guns on the fabric because it leaves holes.

Went there today so I didn’t have to drive to National City for Jo-Ann’s. The employees seemed very friendly & were clear about pricing as well as sales. Wish they had more «trendy» patterned fabrics, but from what they had I found 2 fabrics I really liked for an awesome price!

This place has great sales! There are so many types of fabric to choose from and the prices are typically better than Joann’s. I found it pretty easy to navigate through the store and found everything I needed on my own.

Wonderful. Very helpful staff. I went on a Wednesday and spent a great deal of time and left with what I feel are bargains. There is a huge selection of discounted fabric, I got some. A nice little area to look at pattern books. The staff was very helpful. There were patterns for discount. I found a pattern that I was about to pay $ 8 for on ebay, I got it for $ 1.99. Michaels is nice but they have no fabric. So if you are new to sewing and like good deals on cloths, Yardage Town is where to go. The parking is slanted, and it is across the street from Rice Breakers. Not exactly the newest of facilities but certainly a great store.

Selection of fabrics and notions is OK. Prices, pretty good. Service… meh…as someone who is new to sewing I had some questions about things and was looking for basic supplies. I was not asking terribly complicated questions, but it seemed like no one knew the answers to my questions nor were they very helpful. I also asked to purchase pinking shears. As all the scissors are behind the counter I asked an employee get me a pair of pinking shears to add to my order. Unfortunately, when I got home, my $ 30 pair of pinking shears, were just regular fabric scissors. Nice enough, but overpriced and not what I needed.

I love this place! I’m not very crafty, but these ladies are very sweet and helpful every time I go in there. Reminds me of being with my Grandma ;-)
Their prices and selections (for what I’ve been looking for) are very affordable, and the parking in front of the store makes it easy to get in there adn out rather quickly, a plus for me.

This location isn’t as big as the one on Plaza Blvd. in National City, but its selection still beats anything you’d find at Wal-​Mart and the prices are much better than JoAnn’s. I’m no seamstress, but whenever I needed anything I knew I could find it at Yardage Town. My sister-​in-​law got the fabric and supplies for our bridesmaids dresses here and hired a local seamstress to sew dresses we designed ourselves. The prices were so good that even after paying the seamstress the dresses were still cheaper than anything you’d find at David’s Bridal.
Parking on Broadway can be a bit of a hassle but is never impossible.

Store is nice and has a lot of space. I liked a lot of their fabrics, particularly the few Chinese-​style brocades and some of the cotton patterns. I would have loved to see a wider variety of asian designs (particularly Japanese, they can be so beautiful). The women working there were very nice and helpful :) Parking can be an issue, its very limited in the parking lot by the store and street parking is mostly metered. I went near closing and parking was fine.

I’ve been coming to Yardage Town since I was a novice tagging along my mom’s coat tails, particularly the one in National City but this one is just as good but the mini version. Just as well because the warehouse overwhelms me. This one is just the right size and I feel like I can find everything I need. There is just about everything if you are not looking for Amy Butler or Alexander Henry (go to Joann’s for those). I prefer the Prada and Armani 100% wool and cotton ticking canvas. The remnant tables are also a bargain. If you have a seller’s permit, they have a 20% discount card. And the service is very pleasant. These ladies know their fabric!

I loooove this place!
Reasonable price, very friendly service, so many selections.
Don’t buy fabrics from Michaels or Jo Ann’s, or even from Wal-​Mart.
You’ll end up paying more.

This place has a bunch of fabric.
I needed fabric and when I walked in, I was impressed to see so many options. The reason why I’m looking for fabric is because I’m going to be cosplaying at the Comic Con Convention.
For any reason, I recommend going here if you need cloth or fabric. I believe you will like it.

Now if you ever want to get lost in a place you can definitely get lost here. At this location this is Yardage Towns warehouse and it open to the public. My wife and I came down here from Oceanside and wow did our eyes open wide. I think we were there for a good two hours just cruising around and looking at all of the fabric they carried.
You name it they have it. It was so big they have a second floor of overstock from the top floor. They have everything separated really well by theme and style of fabric. They also have upholstery fabric and curtain fabric. Included with all of the fabric they carrie a bunch of sewing supplies and sewing machines.

YARDAGE TOWN! How I loved to hear those words when I was little. I have such fond memories of hide and seek between all the aisles and rows of FABRIC.
I didn’t even realize until I was learning how to sew and knit the wide selection that they have. There is literally miles in here! There has to be every kind of fabric you can dream of in here. All sorts of textures, synthetics, naturals, polyesters, et cetera!
