I agree. Love the store .... go often and the ladies are always willing to help and are interested in my projects. They are sometimes overworked during sales as there are SO many people there and it does get hectic, but I never take it personally, because when I go other times, they are awesome! They are all very knowledgeable and so much better than Joann's where I hate going anymore! UGH! Always a long line no matter when I go (usually because understaffed) ... oops, not talking about them. Fabric Depot is a treat .... sometimes just have to be patient when there are sales!!! Really worth it!

I've always had great service there. During one of their great sales on batiks, I went in to find fabrics for an IRR round. Looking through the sales bolts, I wasn't finding just the right thing. Two employees came by to help. They agreed that nothing on the floor was right and then took me to the back room where they had 200 more batik bolts to look at (they were waiting for space to open up on the floor before these could be put out for the sale also). We found the perfect fabrics and their service was fabulous. I've not received this kind of service at any other store.

I know this is late (you have already been to Portland) but I just love Fabric Depot. Every time I am up to Gresham (which is right next to Portland) I make a trip to Fabric Depot and shop my heart out! I wish Northern California had something like it!

I will be in that area in a few days to help make my moms holiday easier ( we lost my step dad 2 months ago ), so I was hoping to finally go to the FD and see what all the hype is about that huge store... Anyone know anything about it? is it as awesome as I have heard, or is that a little hyped up?
