Colorado Fabrics

I visited Colorado Fabrics this weekend to browse through their fabrics and notions. They seem to have a good selection of threads, zippers, bias tape, etc. Their quilting fabric selection is so-​so. I had good service in the form of a helpful, nice lady who cut some fabric for me. I was stunned, however, at some of their pricing. Serger thread I buy for around $ 2 a cone was priced at $ 5.75, and fabrics priced elsewhere at $ 10/​yd were easily over $ 13/​yd. I guess if you want something NOW, then this is your place. I hate to shop online over a physical locally owned store, but if I can save 30% or more by planning ahead and buying online, I will.

This fabric store is awesome!!! I went here for the first time expecting terrible customer service but I was delighted. I walked up to a table with my fabric and had two people come up and offer to help, and they were extremely friendly and sociable. Like many other Unilocalers here, the second time I did get the vibe that I was interrupting an associate to cut my fabric… and I was… I understand that these associates have a lot of other work to do besides stand around and wait for people to have fabric cut, and they are CONSTANTLY getting their projects interrupted by impatient customers. I get it. I wasn’t in any hurry and I am not upset at the woman that made me wait a minute. When she came back we joked about sequins and she was very nice. I was standing over by the wall picking out needles and a friendly associate came and asked if I needed help, I said no thank you and she handed me a helpful guide to needles. And finally the cashier was smiling and concluded my visit on a positive note. And I got 2 fabric I have been searching every fabric store in Denver for and they were 4.97 a yard! And much better quality than JoAnn fabric. Go see this place for yourself before you let the bad reviews make up your mind for you.

If this place didn’t have the best selection of fabrics and notions I would never come here. Customer service is terrible 80% of the time. Every now and there there is a gem working that doesn’t make you feel like a criminal or that you are severely annoying them by asking them to cut fabric.
I’ve been shopping here pretty regularly for over a year (coming in about once a week) I’m a performer so I do a lot of costuming. I had purchased some zippers that ended up being the wrong size. I came in the next day to exchange them and purchase almost $ 50 of things. I didn’t have my sales slip so they had to ask a manager if I could exchange. After waiting almost 20 mins they told me they couldn’t let me exchange these $ 2.40 zippers. I get policy with returns and exchanged but give a patron a break.
Can another local fabric company please open and put these guys out of business.
Update: I upgraded to 3 stars because the owner messaged me with an apology and solution for future issues. Also last few times I’ve been in Elizabeth has helped me and been fantastic!

This was my first time in a large fabric shop. I had no idea how it worked. The staff here were so unhelpful and rude. I interacted with three different staff members… each more unkind than the one before. It was truely a terrible experience.

This fabric store is amazing! They have everything you could ask for! Just be prepared to spend at least an hour browsing their assortment of fabrics. I have a couple of projects that I’m getting ready to start and I will definitely be going back to find what I need!

All the staff were very friendly. Jeannie M even showed us an example of how to roll seam on silk. Terrific service, large selection and exceptionally clean store.

I really love these ladies, I went in with a vague idea of a craft project and the ladies in there were amazing at asking the right questions to help me figure out how to put my idea together. Highly recommend.

I went to this store guarded about the customer service, because of the comments from fellow Unilocalers that I trust. Very happily surprised, everyone in the store was super nice. Not only to me, but to other shoppers as well. So that out of the way, brace yourself for fabric heaven. It is not super un expensive, but they do have good selection. I will definitely go back!

Ok I have to be honest I used to absolutely love the store when it was Denver fabrics they had so much fabric compare to anybody in Denver that I know they were always kept up on everything ribbon you name it well I went the other day they didn’t have very many things to choose from besides a lot of stuff for like curtains in home décor

I adore this store, I really do. Their selection of properly thick fabric is miles beyond what any chain store will have. However, since they became Colorado Fabrics, I’ve found the sales associates to be terse and sometimes outright rude. I’ve made several trips to the store since the change, and it seems that half the time I end up with the associate who’s complaining about how the store is being run (complaining about the frequency of intercome use, how the cash register was re-​arranged, and blaming it all on younger co-​workers.)
Despite the awkward interactions with the associates, I’ll still keep coming back. The price and selection is the best I’ve ever found.

Without question, this is the place for quality fabric in the Denver area.
The economics of running a sewing store have been tough in the last few years, and Colorado Fabrics (formerly Denver Fabrics) has had to make changes to remain viable. I miss some of the things that the store had years ago, but at least they are still around!
I think reviewers who wanted more help should recognize that they will need to ask for it. There are not a whole lot of sales associates around. And, yes, some are friendlier than others.
However, there is simply nowhere else in the area that has A) the selection of high-​quality fabrics B) the knowledgeable sales help C) the notions or D) the recreational fabric that you can find here at Colorado Fabrics.

This is a big store with a lot of selection. I found plenty of options of satin and lace trim to use as embellishment on wedding decorations. The only negative is that when I walked in (during the Broncos AFC Championship game) there was no one in the store and 5 employees standing around talking and no one even spoke to me. One of them even said something kind of snotty to me as I was checking out about how I was abusing lace and it was a lace explosion. I didn’t stop to explain to them that I was decorating 120 mason jars with lace trim for a wedding, so yes, it was a lot of lace. But there were a few very nice ladies who were working too and helped me bundle up all of the trim I was purchasing. I’ve never been to a Joann’s or any other fabric store so I don’t have much to compare it to, but I would return for the selection and to support local business.

This place has new owners that are keeping it mostly the same. I have frequented this place often for their huge discount bolts, as I hoard fabric that will someday become clothes. While they don’t have everything under the sun, the selection is amazing. And what I don’t ind here, I find at craft stores or JoAnns.
I usually cut my own to speed up my shopping but if it seems intimidating there are always nice ladies there to help you out. Check out can be slow when the place is busy, but staff is helpful.
There is also a discount bolt wall in the home décor section.

So many choices! If only I had a sewing project, I’d be in fabric heaven!
Prices aren’t bad, and you can find some good deals if you’re looking for scraps or pre-​cut. Hopefully that’s the size you need. :)

This place is awesome! Decorator is beautiful & well displayed. Fashion, while you have to dig — has some amazing finds!
Recreation fabrics. Bridal too. Complete notions. Bargain departments. Only thing lacking is much in the way of quilting. But there are several quilt shops for that…
Check them out — it’s one of a kind!

Snobby!
I’ll be the first to admit that I am a novice at sewing, but I’ve made basic curtains before and I wanted to make some again for my new house. The lady who «helped» me gave off a very «you don’t know what you’re looking for and I’m not going to help» vibe. She was polite, but curt and got away quickly, apparently to stand around a cutting table and chat with her co-​workers. Prices were expensive, even on the sale sections.
Seems like the person who «helped» me could have asked a few questions, let me ask some questions, and I could have walked out of there with a lot of fabric and they could have made a lot of money. I’ll take my «inferior» dollars elsewhere!

Sigh, still far better than JoAnns (not saying much), but no Chinese brocade. When I asked the cashier why they didn’t carry it she said they didn’t have a supplier. WTF?! Try any of the multitude of wholesalers in LA’s fashion district. Maybe if I take up quilting, I would be better served.

Sorry Jo-Ann’s, but I’ve found my new fabric store. I am always searching for new cheap scraps of fabric because of my love for sewing patchwork. I convinced my boyfriend to stop here while we were in the area because I wanted to check it out, and it’s not exactly close to the apartment. And he knows that I’m kept happy by going to anything craft-​related.
When I walked in, I saw an overwhelming amount of fabric that was organized by color. Wide-​eyed, I knew this would take a good chunk of time to peruse and my poor boyfriend would be left sitting in the car wondering what was taking so long. So I reluctantly left, vowing to come back that week.
And I did. I have to admit, some things about this place are a tad intimidating. The people who work here aren’t the friendliest, but they were helpful when approached. I feel like they give off a «I-​know-​way-​more-​about-​sewing-​than-​you» kind of vibe (which I’m sure they do). I was confused about how to cut the fabric, which you can measure/​cut yourself, but they showed me. I have never bought ‘fabric by the pound,’ and was a little intimidated about how to measure it, etc. But when I figured it out, I was ecstatic about how much fabric I could get for such great prices.

Denver Fabrics was recommended by another fabric store when I said I was looking for some thicker and super soft fabric to make my own dog bed for my pup.
Let me explain. My pup is a master at de-​stuffing $ 50 dog beds and I was done with replacing them. Instead I was looking for some thick and soft fabric for a blanket type dog bed that she can’t destroy.
Denver Fabrics is just the place. Lots of beautiful patterns, fleece, silk, cotton, and everything else. The back has stacks of bargain fabrics as well. I ended up buying two yards of soft chocolate fabric that looks beautiful with a white dog sleeping on top.
Thank you Denver Fabrics for filling a need for my life.

Denver Fabrics, lots of Fabrics and other neat stuffs Oh My! Both Hubs and I like this store. Was here on Thursday December 9^th 2010. Hubs needed some fabric for his pet project. While I’m here browsing for potential ideas and cloth materials that I might need in the future.
Yes they have lots of fabric to choose. They even have those on SALE, meaning cut to a certain yard lengths. Though I cant deny the price varies from reasonable to expensive, but oh well, I cant help I like this store of FABRIC GALORE!
The staff who, assist us in finding, cutting the material we want, was indeed helpful and accommodating. She even suggests several other options in case we might need those in the future.
All in all, a good experience shopping here.
