MOOD FABRICS Reviews

3 floors of goodness. You can walk up the stairs or take the elevator. I took the elevator to 3rd floor where bag check is right by the entrance. I couldn't find what I was here for and also the folks working there while nice were not able to assist me in looking for a specific type of fabric.

Everything is laid out neatly and brightly lit. Clean store and not musty. There's a number of trim and accessories items on the 3rd floor near the checkout counter. There's also tools also and so it's a nice one stop shop but you might not find exactly what you're looking for.

In the end I went across the street to a smaller store, Fabric World and found what I was looking for in 2 colors.

Tourist spot and can get quite busy. If you sew, the fabric selection is out of this world.

Website glitches. Poor online customer service. Coupons only work for some items. Fabrics are overpriced. I will shop elsewhere from now on.

My request for the taurus that come to mood.
1. This is not a place to have a birthday party
2. This is not a place to have a bachelorette party
3. Do not block the side walk because you just came from Mood.
4. When using the revolving door there is 1 person at a time.
5. Don t block the door.
6. The garment district is a place people work not Walt Disney World.
So what I am saying is please be respect full for the people around you.

Absolutely love shopping for fabric here. Elisabeth is always helpful finding exactly what I'm looking for. Fast and friendly on every visit. Give that girl a raise.

The place is in an office building. Once you step off the elevator you step into the wonderful world of fabric. My mother made clothes for us as youngsters, now my daughter has taken up that mantle. I was amazed at the selection of fabrics, and the service is totally amazing even if you know nothing about sewing you will enjoy being here.

I can't even get anyone to call me back. Most of their good stuff online is
sold out and when you ask when/if they're getting it back in (we're talking poplin,nothing super fancy) I was given the runaround. Dealt with their online chat and the person had no idea when or if the fabric would be back in stock. I'm sure they have gorgeous things in their NY store, but being 3,000 miles away with a lousy online presence and terrible customer service is frustrating.

Love this place! I take classes here, Ben Mach and staff are amazing. The staff at the store are very knowledgeable.

It is open on Saturday! The staff is knowledgeable. They also have small fabric swatches you can take home. It is really helpful as they offer upholstery fabric and you want to see how it matches with your home.

Great place to find any thing you want to make an amazing piece of clothing

GreAt staff and every type of fabric you could imagine.

They have a large selection of tie silk here--3 feet wide, floor to ceiling. Minimum half yard, and reasonable prices. Very helpful, friendly staff. The shop dog is named Swatch, and he's very friendly.
Enter the arcade next to Mood Home and take the elevator to the 3rd floor.

There are a million fabric shops, and Mood has by far the best selection. Absolutely.

Now, for a shop that sells itself on having it all, they lack a lot of even basic technical fabrics that you'll need if you're working on a project that will be used for more than display purposes.

There is nothing in the way of DWR treated nylon, good wools without weird patterns, or anything you'd use on a project.

The colored leathers are not usable for anything other than mocking up (meaning they'll rub their dyes all over everything they touch - you can't seal these unless you want it to feel like plastic).

Being here is like going to the fashion holy land after being a Project Runway fan, huge selection, sewing classes, never-ending notions...you name it, they have it.

terrible online store. It took them 12 days to ship my order. There was no email informing about the delay and when I reached the customer service the attendant just said it was on its way and ended the "call" by redirecting me to a survey

Excellent customer service and they always have what I'm looking for.

I wanted to visit this store because it's so famous and all my favorite sewing bloggers get their fabrics here. I found it to be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. While the fabrics were beautiful, they are on 60" roll bolts so it's tough to look through them. For fabrics like Liberty of London, you can't tell from the rolled up fabric end what it will look like. Some customers were struggling to even pull the bolts out and had to get help.

There also didn't appear to be pricing on some bolts, the buttons or a lot of the trims. It seems like an awesome place to go if you are making a more artistic project, but for a casual sewer it wasn't great. I ended up getting one cut of fabric, but for any future purchases, online will be the way to go.

Good shop of fabrics of all kinds. Also avios and gallons

I'm so torn about Mood. They used to be better. I think project runway went to their heads or something. The staff have changed a lot and no one seems happy to be there. That being said, the selection is great and most prices are reasonable.

Consistently very slow to ship orders out, even though website says "fast shipping". We run a small business that relies on fabrics being delivered in a reasonable time period. Mood often takes a full week for the order to even leave their warehouse. Won't work with me when I call them asking them to please ship my order and tells me I should have paid for expedited shipping. This is 2017 (the age of Amazon). I shouldn't have to pay $60+ extra for you to get my order on its way to me! We won't keep ordering from you if you don't resolve this!

Edit: got in contact with owner and he straightened it out and got our fabric shipped. Fingers crossed things will go smoother next time around.

Mood is everything you hope it will be, if you're a Project Runway fan. I am, and had the pleasure of taking a beginner's sewing class here, which was absolutely loads of fun. My classmates were all very friendly, and it was a tremendous pleasure to come learn a new skill once a week. Mood itself is just an amazing place, full of every kind of fabric and notion you can imagine, googly-eyed tourists, makers of all kinds, and Swatch the mascot dog. A geat vibe, a great store!

Came here on a weekday - the place was not crowded at all. A wide range of various fabrics available. I was mainly interested in the selection of the linen fabrics and found it quite broad. The personnel was available to cut out the necessary swatches and answered all my questions. Overall - nice experience.

The associates were rude and didn't want to assist me. Will never go back. I was just happy to see the dog!

trying to make a new outfits and this place has denim, cotton, lace with modern and old-school designs. helpful staff willing to answer questions and give samples of fabrics. Brilliant!

Just as cool as on tv. Dazzling array of fabrics, trim, accessories.

I'd give it a 4.5. Tons of great fabric. Excellent selection. Shaved off a half star b/c it's not the easiest place to get assistance. I actually wandered around aimlessly between floors and watched another more seasoned customer seek someone out for help. Tough learning the lay of the land as a newbie. Cashier and bag check person were the friendliest at the store.

Fairly priced store with the largest selection of fabrics imaginable, as well as tools and sewing notions. They offer sewing classes,too. Delightful place to stock up on all things necessary for sewing or fabric-based crafts.

If you have unlimited funds, MOOD Fabrics is the place to shop. It's iconic. Every possible fabric one can think of is stocked here. But alas I shop at my favorite fabric shop in Brooklyn.

Fun to go and see the place project runway made famous. And pet swatch.

Huge selection of fabrics to choose from and the staff are knowledgeable without being overbearing. It was a bit hard to find because they have an upholstery store at street level; just go in the revolving doors to the right and up to the third floor to find the main shop. Great experience but didn't see their dog, Swatch. Maybe next time

Amazing selection. Fantastic service. Everyone was very helpful and friendly!

Great selection of fabrics and materials. Most of the workers are helpful and nice! Some of them are rude though.

If you want quality fabric on a budget. There's no excuses if you come here.

I visited MOOD whilst on my 1st visit to New York from England. I was amazed by the experience the people and stock the staff when i managed to pin one down was extremely helpful and engaging, loved it.
I have now ordered on-line - so will write another review about tha.t

Ok. I went here with my wife not knowing why we went to a fabric store in NYC. She explained to me why this was so important. It made her happy so im happy.

Very good place for all fabric and sawing experience

Great fabrics, poor service. Not what I expected after watching project runway

Nice place to visit if you follow Project Runway and love fabric.

I can not say enough about this place. They have every type of material imaginable, amd if you can't find it here, then you'll have to create your own. ...but that's ok by me, I love the inspirational creative space I'm in when I visit MOOD.

Their online store is constantly buggy, their estimated shipping times are false and they refuse to acknowledge the misleading information on their website, when they run their promotions it prevents any international orders from being made and their customer service by Glenda (on two occasions I had the misfortune of ending up with this unhelpful person, which might also possibly just be a false identity for their customer service reps) is so subpar that it's a joke. Come on, it's almost 2020. If you can't accommodate international or online orders, fix it or don't have an online store.

The best fabric store in the world! Helpful, knowledgeable staff will help you find what you need among the boys bolts and bolts and bolts of fabric over many floora. Awesome Garment District location.

So much to see! They had a crazy amount of fabrics and notions. They have sewing classes too. Swatch the dog is cute! Wish it was closer to home!

The most diverse and beautiful selection of fabrics in one store. Aisle after aisle of inspiration and joy if you re someone who loves these types of places. I spent some good time and money there.

Overwhelming however, it was exactly what I expected it to be. I found everything I needed and wanted

Yes, the selection offered is amazing, but it's impossible to find anything specific because of how poorly organized the store is, and the staff aren't very helpful.

Unless you need to buy fabric stick to watching the TV show for visits to mood

Going to Mood Fabrics is like going to the Library of Congress of Textiles . I couldn t agree more with TIM GUNN. This is my favorite fabric store in the garment district and always my first stop anytime i visit NYC. This world most famous fabric store is a fabric haven with all types of designer fabrics, varieties of trimmings and tailoring supplies. I highly recommend to all existing and aspiring fashion designers, seamstresses, tourists, locals and all fashion lovers. I get so INSPIRED each and every time i visit the store. And yes, I ve had the opportunity to see Swatch the dog in the store a couple of times. I just LOVE Mood Fabrics!!!

Was fun to see a place I've seen so many times on project runway

The selection of fabric is out of the world. U name it u get it here. Very helpful staff too.

great selection of fabrics and friendly staff. love their big bags.

Would have been 5 stars for the selection offered but the prices are steep

Ive bought fabric for work. The peopke are helpful. There is an elevator.

Just starting to sewing and I'm excited about this website, and the fabric is beautiful. I can't wait to buy some and start on some different outfits , I love color and being different

Dmitry Byalik from customer service, he supposed to replace error fabric via email but he has not respond. asked few times but nothing.
foor fabric and lack responsibility....

If you like project runway, you need to visit here. Although, if you intend to buy a lot of fabric, there are cheaper options in the garment district. You can ask for a swatch of most fabrics. There are definitely times of the day that are better to visit, on my last visit I came an hour before closing and it wasn t too busy.

Don't know the industry, this place was the cooliest, and I'm 50 years old

Excellent decorative fabrics. Unfortunately, no normal cotton fabrics

Excellent customer service. The staff was really patient and helpful. Thanks !!

I am a Project Runway fan and made sure to stop by Mood while on vacation recently. It was a little tricky to find, but once we did we were met by warm, helpful and lovely employees. From the adorable greeter at the door, to the staff at the various department stations and the checkout staff, every single employee treated us wonderfully. They were all, without exception, welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. We had so much fun looking around. It is a gorgeous store stocked with endless quality fabrics and notions. It was definitely a real bright spot on our fabulous vacation. It would have been perfect if we had met Swatch, but he had already left for the day. Thank you Mood! I will treasure my purchases, and will definitely be back! xoxoxo

Mood is amazing. A bit overwhelming, and certainly not easy to shop, but has so much stuff! Great employee in trim section.

OHHHHHH MYYY GLOB!!!! I had the time of my life at MOOD!!! There is a Spirit by the name of Dennis.....HE MADE MY YEAR! Swatches flying, fabulous advice, and a healthy dose of OoohhhhLaaaaLaaaa!!! I will be a FACE at Mood! Groovy people! FANTASTIC

My favorite fabric store in the city. Really cool staff.

FABRIC, FABRIC, FABRIC AND MORE FABRIC! Great staff and customer service we went to other fabric stores in the area but this was our favorite. SWATCH was there too!

So I visited in person last week. Fabulous place lots of fabrics to choose from. The customer service could have a little better. I wanted some faux fur cut and waited for over 15 minutes for the fellow to return back to the department. No one came to help so I grabbed the bolt and went looking for a table to have it cut. I was stopped by the same person ( black guy with dreads) who left the area I was in. I was told that fur can only be cut in the back. When I told him how long I had waited with no assistance he said "Well I'm busy!!" I didn't think that was a professional response so I left all my intended purchases right there and bought nothing. I returned home and ordered online instead.. much better experience. My fabrics were delivered in less than 48 hours. I did get to meet Swatch while at mood so the trip wasn't a total bust. I wish my first time there was better. But oh well .
