Neighbor staple with all of your fabric and crafting needs. Its Michaels before Michaels
Love this place found out about them when they used to do warehouse pop-ups on 125th street. If your on a fabric budget or pressed for time with a project definitely check them out.
Service is very friendly. I was able to find what I wanted easily. Not the most glamorous place, but who needs it. I got a folded yard of heavy fabric for $2.
I asked a guy at store to cut the fabric for 1 yard. There were 2 yards left and he told me he can’t cut it because it’d be one yard left so I either have to buy 2 yards on my cost or change my mind to different color.I was so puzzled and told him that it was sold by yard and why he can’t cut it.He started yelling at me, “My boss needs to make money, I can’t leave one yard left on roll! My boss needs to make money!! Go choose the different color!! That’s not my policy but my boss needs make money!”Man, your boss making away too much money than you expecting.Horrible service.
Its been here forever and ever and ever it has the necessary but can def use a huge upgrade lets just say its your grandmas go to for everything sewing reasonably priced and somethings are to expensive u can def find them way more inexpensive else where but if your nosetalgic and old school its the place to find some craft necessities and sewing goods
This is my go-to for fabric and notions. They have the best prices for upholstery and home fabric. They stock full and half leather hides, foam, and designer samples for super discounted prices.
A wonderful place to find fabric at incredible prices. ❤ 😍
I LOVE THIS STORE!! The staff are super helpful and kind. Good vibes always. They have everything you need for your craft/sewing projects and I love supporting a local store. Highly recommend!
I gave 5 stars because they had a lot of great yarn selection.But there was a guy who kept looking at me like I was up to no good. I didnt like that at all. If it wasnt for the yarn selection this store would have gotten a 3.
I love the store and go here before I go to Michaels. I just started a small business of making beanies, flower crowns and the like. I try and go to this store before checking any other store for products. This is the only location that I found large pom poms that are actually cute and stay in place. The staff is quite friendly and the store is relatively empty so Im not too worried about bumping into people are checking out items for way too long and having to move out of peoples way. Ive gone on different days and in different times in the week and I could say that the staff is normally friendly no matter the day or time.
I like this store I brought The tablecloth and other decoration for my wedding was nice cute and not expensive
I frequently shop here for all my Crafting supplies. The prices are far better than Michaels.Diya LISTEN UP ! I found the perfect fabric to make a reversable Duvet cover AND a great coordinating fabric to customize the lampshades to match. All the supplies are here for prices that cant be believed. Great big Leather pelts for less than half of what it costs in the fabric district. Upholstery and Dressmaking fabrics too! Cushion fillers, Buttons for childrens garments, everything without being overwhelmed.The staff is always friendly, the music is always upbeat and unlike other stores, they actually WANT to hear about what youre creating and love photos.A great place to shop!
For fabric and yarn, this place is amazing! As far as other selection, it is much better than I expected but definately a bit limited towards artist selection. Staff has always been wonderful. In additin to Michaels, I still come here on the regular.
Awesome store! Awesome staff! Yes some of the prices are a little higher in comparison to Michaels or such. But youre in Manhattan. Thee most expensive burough to live in. What do you expect? Overall, I love this Save-A-Thon even if Im cheating on the Brooklyn & Queens one with them 😂.
Has becoming more of a crafting store, limited fabric select for the season, nice sale prices.Staff was slow to respond nut attentive and helpful.
Im not a person who sews, but the store is packed with stuff one would need to put together something special. Unfortunately they didnt have what I needed. A great local place for people with a sewing machine.
Its a good place for every thing that you may need when it comes to sewing. Anna is super friendly and helpful. She is an efficient employee.
Love it ,especially if you sew, or do art and crafts they also last minute gift for house warming .
This place used to have so many great crafting supplies but now Everytime I go they never have enough
Over priced synthetic fabrics. No natural fibers, just poly, poly, poly.Sewing machines over priced- cheaper online. Ok for zippers, buttons, upholstery and foam.
Its an okay fabric store very fast in all of their items being that this is the flagship store I expected more customer service and that the front desk girl would know that there is pattern paper for sale but the manager informed me that there was and it was Kraft paper? I would think a Fabrics of the stature should at least carry actual professional pattern paper? Maybe Im Wrong. But I was impressed with the fact that they have classes in the back and I actually might be interested in taking part in one.
Plenty of items not just fabric and at a reasonable price. The staff is helpful and professional.
Back in the day we all love to go to the fabric store now for 1 pack of yarn is $6 to much
I absolutely love this fabric store. I decided to make a lot of things myself with my friends for my babyshower and I was able to find everything i needed. I wasnt knowledgeable on getting fabric by the yard so I probably spent more than necessary. Make sure you go in with a clear idea of how much fabric you need cause then youll be over or under guessing. The second floor is dedicated to yarn, wedding decor, party decor and baking.
The staff was busy but they stopped and made sure everything was taken care of. From the young man that cuts the fabric to the Latino Lady. They have great energy, friendly and affordable. My new fabric store.
The people that works there are very efficient I always find good stuff for decoration and hand crafts
Nice craft and fabric store that has withstood the test of time. Its nice to see in Spanish Harlem. The products are a little cheap and the store is a little dirty. Would rather make the trek to Michaels Arts & Crafts on the west side or the garment district for fabric. If youre local here, its nice for emergency craft supplies.
Great local spot for fabrics and crafting supplies
Lots of different fabrics, great reasonable prices and the staff is helpful and friendly
The staff was very helpful and friendly! The prices here are the best! Youll get the best deals coming here!
Dont like the quality of thr fabric.
I love to go to this store for craft supplies at a great price. The typical option is Michael’s, but if you want to take the trip to Harlem you should. They have fabric and sewing supplies too. All a discount prices.
This use to be the best store. Theres more yarn than anything else. The owner delivered old dusty baskets, and a dirty hamper type thing, to put products for customers to purchase. This store needs serious remodeling. Place back the products to give customers variety. Its unorganized, and the products that are there, they never keep up stock.Bring back the vases....wall decore....candle holders like before. PLEASE remove the yarn from the front and put in the back, organizing it better, keep up on inventory, dont drop off dirty products to sell and please fix the floor and clean it.
Its a great place for every thing that you may need when it comes to sewing. They have some home decor stuff.
Great place to buy material and sewing machines
Large selection of fabrics and machines, and about enough on smaller things like art supplies. They have a very concret set but nothing too fancy which is what I hope to find everytime I go but end up leaving with a standard sketch book. Not dissatisfied because the paper is nice but really wish they had hard cover sketch books or I might not be looking close enough. They have a nice selection of canvases from small 9 by 11 inch to so much larger. The prices on these I believe to be very appropriate for a canvas. Customer service I believe to be exactly what you need. I dont really focus on attitude too much because people are different and they may have something going on personally (this goes for every store out there) as long as they answer my questions and get me what I need Im perfectly fine with that and every time I go they do just that. Overall, this place is great just wish they had the store hours on this but you can call and ask them if theyre open and their hours and theyll tell you right away.
They have two floors and the second floor is only accessible via stairs so that if you have bad knees use a walker or wheelchair or have a baby stroller you are out of luck. The store is not very well organized some sewing trims are on the first floor while others are on the second floor. They have pattern catalogs but very few times have the actual pattern. A big number of their sewing machines are refurbished. As the only textile store around the neighborhood its okay. The associates are nice.
Big,nice and clean place,you can found Art products,I buy a yarn 100% cotton
I dont like Save A Thon mainly the one at 3rd Avenue between 104th and 105th Street. Their fabric is super mega ugly and there is this rude old lady who works there and had a problem with me buying elastic since Ive been buying elastic from there and had the nerve to almost deny me service until I told her I wasnt there just for elastic. Dont bother going to the Save A Thon at 3rd Avenue between 104th and 105th Street. They stink!!!!!!!!
Service was great. Wish they carried more higj quality fabrics however they do have a great swlecrion. Only place in UES where you can get fabrics. Affordable too. And they sell sewing almachimes. Yay!
Quite few things have discounted prices, so you could save some $$. I wish they had bigger selection 🤞
Nisha R. Makes coming to Save a thon, pure joy.I am very impressed with her professionalism. Save a thon is the best place for crafts. The employees are very helpful and the sewing classes are top notch. The store maintains an easygoing attitude. No huge lines. Cheap items.
Not accessible for the disabled. Im wheelchair bound and when I wasnt, all of the amazing things they have are upstairs and I always purchased something. Great place for cloth, yarn, sewing classes, interior design but... Damnit - I wish I could go upstairs again. Get an elevator or a chair lift, people!! 😕😟
Great selection of thread, notions, dressmaking & upholstery fabrics all with fair pricesMachine repair and parts offeredAnd than some
A good find! In a city as busy as NYC, it is difficult to look for that proverbial ‘needle in the haystack’! But, in this shop you will find all kinds of needles, wool, cloth, buttons, threads, embroidery threads, et al! What an Aladdin’s cave, full of treasures. It is one of the few such stores left. Great for all those who love knitting, crocheting, embroidery and other crafts. Oh! In case you need stitching classes, this is the right place.
Save a Thon is a great store to shop for materials for sewing. Ive been a dedicated customer for yrs. Lots of sales/bargins. I always leave satisfied Every time I go. 🤗
Super friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful selection and prices. So happy to find this store open during the pandemic. Will be back :)
Have really nice fabric and everything is in order and clean.
Great prices, needed fabric for a photo shoot. They got it all!!!
I love this store... The staff are always a pleasure to see and very knowledgeable about the items they have, I can pop up to the store with a ideal on a project and leave with everything I needed and more.. Thank you.
They carry all the things I need for sewing, crocheting & for my jewelery making. The staff is courteous & helpful.
They have great variety of fabrics and knowledgeable staff to help with ideas for sewing and equipment needs.
I came from Philadelphia to visit this Fabric store in NY. It Was NOT Worthwhile. Display of fabrics was awful. Fabric was So cheap looking u may as well have shopped in a dollar store in Philly
My go to neighborhood store. I was so happy when they cautiously reopened. I was able to get my fabric and crafts just a few blocks from home.
All the employees here were really friendly and helpful! Store looks pretty dated but thats whatever. They also had much more than I expected 👍
This store has all sorts of decorr. I ordered a bernart wool in a cream color. This type of whool hands down is very soft. Go to this Store Now!!!!
All I need for my house decoration
Not one staff member welcome me in the store or asked if I need help and the fabrics were average
Everything is nice the selection just isnt as huge but its more than enough you can find miscellaneous things which I love
The staff is rarely knowledgeable on the products, and had to wait for the manager or owner, Robert to finish his phone conversation to be helped. He even proceeded to doing other things after he hung up, knowing very well I was standing in front him waiting to be helped.
I was clueless what glue I needed for mu fabrics and the worker name Nisha helped me out. She was very helpful and took her time to look for all the rest of the items I needed..
Great prices and a variety of fabric to wrap my head. Very helpful, patient and knowledgeable employees. 😊
Got everything I needed to decorate for 25th Anniversary Vow Renewal
Love the fabric selections and that I always find what I need. THE BEST AND SO CLOSE BY‼️☺️
This place scams old people out of money! They made my grandmother pay twice for a maintenance service. The first time they never fixed it and when she took it back they charged her again after the lady had told me that she wouldn’t have to pay if she presented a receipt. DISHONEST COMPANY DONT TAKE IN YOUR SEWING MACHINES. GRANDMAS BEWARE!!!!!
This place has plenty of fabrics and patterns to choose. Upstairs is their craft area with art supplies and yarn. The M102 bus runs nearby.
Nice craft store. Large selection of fabrics for sewing and tailoring. Smaller sections for other crafts like cooking, painting, basket making, etc.
The staff here first of all is very friendly and helpful...they are eager to make sure your happy.... The prices are very reasonable for the location and its close to the buses and the #6 train
Staff is very friendly and helpful. I only go if I need to in a hurry. Very limited selection. I revisit on occasion to see if there are any changes to inventory.
Great place have lotsa of variety for making projects, yarn, fabric..you name it they will probably have it
The staff is always helpful, theyll dig through boxes if they have to, in order to help customers, everyone helps, and everyone is treated great! I always find what I need and prices are super low!! Thank you guys, for your excellent service
Great selection and the staff is always so helpful with finding fabrics for your needs.
Wonderful neighborhood store for fabric and sewing materials reasonably priced. Love the variety of African fabrics too.
I have trouble going up and down the stairs arts and craft stuff is upstairs and they do not have elevators or access to an elevator so how my supposed to get stuff I need in the arts and craft section.
This is a hidden gem in east Harlem. You could easily get lost in this place. The prices are great. They even have groupons from time to time.
They have all the fabric you will posible need they all so have a lot more stuff on the second floor and house accessories.
This is a Simple fabrics store, not as good as the Fordham 1 but always has the particular color fabrics I need for projects (and they returned me my lost umbrella)
Best place for discount sewing and craft supplies. Much cheaper than Michaels and there is quite a big selection.
If you want anything for sewing this is your place, affordable and great variety of fabric
Good place but I give it 3 stars because we witness a discussion between a couple and a worker, he could be more friendly and more attentive.
The workers on the store are very polite and prompt with the client. The only thing I see is that they should updrage the structure by all means the store.
Im a bit surprised that I can get two rolls of threads to fix a pulled/torn seam while I travelled in NYC. If your hotel doesnt provide it, it may be your last resort to get it from this store or you can buy a new one.
Great stuff for seamstress and crafty people. Good selection, variety. Awesome staff
Love the customer service, friendly extremely helpful. With my many habits, they have everything I need.
It my therapy spot for yarn
I love this store the prices are amazing! The manager Abdul is very nice and knowledgeable.
Its a decent little place in East Harlem they try to have everything in stock

Great neighborhood store, its been there forever, but Im so glad its still there and I can count on it!
This is the place if you cant afford Mood. Not the best or newest but most of the fabric is way under $10 a yard
Your ideal place to buy crafts and fabrics Very wide selection
With patience you will find affordable luxury and unique treasures, and lets not forget the little impulsive buys...👌👍🤩

Very nice helpers need to add a little more on the arts materials, but overall you deserve your stars.

2022-03-22Great spot for fabrics! The prices are great. We were looking for complimentary fabric for a bodice. We found great options for the skirt! We were able to find the perfect tools to finish and spark creativity. I will sure be back for the Fashion Designer Tool kit! Sales team was knowledgeable and very helpful.

2022-07-10A local haberdashery with half of what you need at twice the price. With no competitors in the area, ...good luck! Employees, although clueless, are both friendly and eager to offer help.
