This place is not what it was a few years ago. It is in a state of disrepair, shabby, musty and the man working in customer service is snobby and rude. This place is not customer friendly and I imagine the musty smell permeates the fabric. I will venture to Zimman's in Lynn, MA, which is clean and the staff professional.

Rude in the extreme! Without a doubt, the rudest owner/employees I have ever encountered in any retail store, anywhere! They are pushy, snippy, and unhelpful in the extreme. It may be with good reason their policy is not to allow customers to write down fabric information while shopping (judging by the signage, it appears this is a problem for them). Perhaps they should be asking themselves exactly WHY customers purchase elsewhere. I certainly won't be returning! ADDENDUM: I visited your store for the first time recently in ... read more

Wide selection You will find every fabric at every price range in this store. It is a bit overwhelming if you are only the occasional seamstress like myself. The staff will help you if you ask, but they are usually busy with the more knowledgeable customers so if you prefer to be left alone that can happen too.

Great Store! Exeter Handkerchief Co. is great. The selection of fabric is second to none, and the staff is very helpful. They even have in house uphostery services that are phenomenal. I would recommend Exeter Handkercheif to anyone who is looking for quality fabrics at good prices, or looking to have their furniture reupholstered.

fabric This place has all kinds of fabric for all occasions and then some. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always ready to help. Some of the help has been there for years and know the customers by name.

New Fabrics 10,000 yrds of New Fabric for Summer 2010. New Displays and More Remnats. Brenda- I'm glad you liked the fabrics and we will work on showing more enthusiasm for every customer. I think your assesment of the retail fabric industry is also fairly accurate. Regarding your decorating friend, I am going to have to strongly disagree. I believe your post did bring us closer to the heart of the matter. The store does not have a Loss Prevention Dept., but your statement "... what harm would this visit cause the store. How... read more

New to quilting... I am new to quilting, so of course I stop in to check out all the fabulous fabrics I have heard the store carries. What a big mistake - it was like the "snobbery factory." Not only did I feel like no one wanted to help with my questions (I was confronted with a sigh of annoyance when I tried), I was greeted with nothing but strange looks...it was like I wasn't supposed to be looking at the fabric. No one ever once asked if they could help me... I was ready to buy what I needed for my project (it's true, th... read more

Exeter Handkerchief Co. The first two floors of fabric are beautiful and well organized. All the fabrics are displayed in coordinated themes with free samples that are pre-cut and hang on the side of the display. A lot of the fabrics have matching trims, which makes it easy to see the whole room come together. Very different from any fabric store I've seen, and not overwhelming. The whole third floor is $8 and $5 a yard on Tuesdays. You can't beat that! Thousands of rolls from Robert Allen, Greef, Kravet, Schumacher, Waverly... read more

Hey owner....not the right response I have to comment on the owners response to the review by Decorator's Husband. I found the response very disappointing and unprofessional as well as the action taken during the store visit. Seriously, what harm would this visit cause the store? How much revenue would you be at risk of losing? I think the owner over reacted. I actually visited this store for the first time a few weeks ago and I certainly did not feel welcomed. The staff was not all that pleasant and displayed very little in... read more
