Ginny’s Fine Fabrics & Support Group

The address on Unilocal at 12 S Broadway is wrong. The correct address is next door to the Garden Inn which is at 225 South Broadway, Rochester, Minnesota, 55 904 — which is completely opposite of the Unilocal address. The owner has been unable to correct the address on Unilocal.In minus four degree weather — that’s a very long cold walk. The phone number is correct.
The store has a tiny doorway into a fine fabric lovers version of heaven. The fabrics are not cheap so if you want cheap you will have to go to a big box store.
If you are seeking designer fabrics and fine silks and wools with an assortment of interesting trims, you will definitely want to visit.
The store is narrow and deep with bolts of fabrics going up to the ceiling. The owner Ginny (Virginia) is quite kind and willing to share knowlege or ship fabrics cut to order.
Although they did not say, I suspect they are criticized for the cost of the fabrics — so if cost is a factor — save the negative comments and visit for the experience of how fabric stores operated before the big box stores arrived.
Ginny’s Fine Fabrics is not a quilters store; however, quilters who value fine fabrics might enjoy purchasing some fabrics for specialty quilts.
Those of various faiths appear quite comfortable shopping in the store to meet their religious attire restrictions, so be willing to share close quarters with a diversity of other people. Again — think positive. We were in town to visit the Mayo Clinic, so a positive attitude was a requirement for all we did during this trip.
I purchased a fabric that inspired me to reach higher in my sewing skills with Virginia’s tips on how to work with the fabric.
If you are the kind to stash fabric — well yes uh — hoard fabric ~ you will definitely want to purchase fabric from this store and you just might sew it. I am loving the feel of the lightweight Italian Wool because it feels like silk and can be worn throughout the year.
The parking is limited. Call first to determine the best place to park.

I was incredibly impressed with the level of customer service at Ginny’s. I was in a pinch on a project, and Ginny and team went above and beyond. I live on the West Coast, and they even over-​nighted swatches to me. A friend recommended them to me, and I wouldn’t hesitate to pass along the recommendation!

Ginny’s is a phenomenal place to purchase textiles! The quality is supremely higher than most places, and the highest level of service accompanies your shopping experience!
Ginny is an amazing woman, and works hard to ensure your overall experience is a positive one!
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for textiles and fantastic service! You will not be disappointed!
