I was super relieved to find a fabric store in the area for convenience-sake, but immediately regretted shopping there as the environment wasn't very welcoming. I went in for a replacement needle for my sewing machine. The employee, that I approached, was not friendly!!! She was very hostile, judgmental and rude with her responses when I described to her what I was looking for. Ultimately, I'd say they should work on having better customer service, because the store is quite nice & well-kept. I would enjoy shopping here, if the energy was inviting.

Wouldn't go back again. I went to them in January based on the good reviews and took the negative ones as a maybe one-off situation. I would have to agree- because I'm in my twenties, young, and maybe less experienced than people who have been quilting their whole life I was written off... that or they just genuinely don't care. I brought in my Janome MC6600p for a routine service and to be thoroughly cleaned. LOVED the selection of fabrics they had but was going to wait to see what else was there when I picked my baby up. It was several days in their shop for service, and they weren

Haven't been to Ann's for quite some time. Since there are so few fabric stores anymore (other than Joann's) going to Ann's was wonderful. Fabrics you don't see everywhere - such beautiful fabrics. If you are looking to find something unique this is the must stop place in the area. so many new things and of course i want all of them... including the sewing machine which will hold 10 threads..... my grandmother would be be in love. Will have to stop by a more often.

What amazing customer service!! We stopped by, machine in hand just in case we got lucky ... get lucky we did. I had used the wrong thread in my Bernina 880 and a piece got stuck in the machine where it wasn't accessible. Andy very graciously opened it right then and got the offending strand out - and then fixed my needle threader! It was wonderful because I'd expected to be told to leave the machine (an 83 mile return trip). I did some shopping in the store and then when I paid, learned I would get a discount for being a guild member. I shall return!! A very grateful shout out to

Loved this store. They were so helpful. They did give me a few minites to walk around and then a nice lady was very helpful and helped me locate what I needed. They had a large selection of up to date fabrics. I am from out of town and would definitely go back again. I love to go to quilt shop and been all over. Such a nice selection of all things, fabric books, notions and thread. I will try to return hefore I leave. Thanks for great customer service.

This store is about 45 min from where I live. However I do go there to have my machines service. I don't mind waiting a couple of weeks, since they have a couple of techs and a lot of customers to take care of.
I am always greeted with a hello but if some of the staff members are waiting on other customers that customer will get their full attention first (as it should be)
When I have bought my machines I told them what I wanted. They have never tried to sell me a machine for a higher price. They would show me a machine that would becoming out soon. When I tell them I am not interested

I am an art quilter working in Dedham, and so use my machines (and use up my fabrics) all the time. Not only does this store have beautiful fabrics, incredible classes and the best machines, it also has the hands-down best customer service I've ever received- anywhere. From the owner Andy, to quilting guru Cheryl, to anyone who's ever greeted me when I walk in the store, everyone bends over backwards to make sure all my questions are answered and all my concerns addressed - immediately. Can't recommend the place enough.

Very unfriendly staff. The employee was quick to tell me they'd be getting the fabric in that I was looking for but didn't know when & chose not to seek out the info for me. The owner that was nearby didn't offer assistance and clearly overheard as the store was empty. I had to wait at the cutting table while she finished a text message then again while she put bolts away that weren't in any hurry or in the way. I was grateful for the public restroom however the clutter and cleanliness was the icing on the cake. There was a yard minimum on the clearance fabric. Normally

I went to Ann's Fabric after learning that Reliable Sewing in Canton closed and Ann's Fabric hired the technicians.
I think the new owner bought it about two years ago. He is incredibly knowledgable and super nice. He showed us several machines, talked to us for a while, and had us try some of the cool stitches in the machines we were considering.
They also have a good selection of quality quilting fabric (of which I bought more than my share). Awesome place. Will be back for my new machine, fabric, and a class. Can't wait!
Update: I've been back to Ann's Fabrics many

Do not buy a sewing machine from this store. With the exception of a few caring salespeople, the service at Ann's is shockingly poor. Especially from the owner who makes no extra service efforts whatsoever. Unlike other local stores, training on new machines is not at all personalized. Follow up / communication when a machine needs to be ordered is almost non-existent, the customer must continually inquire to get any information. Based on my experience I would not recommend this store.

Rude, rude, rude, RUDE!
Do not waste your time going to this place! I went in looking for poly-fil, looking to help boost a local small business, rather than shopping at Joann's... BIG MISTAKE. They clearly do not want my business, and are only geared toward their inner circle of customers!
I walked in and noticed that it was actually a lot bigger than I was expected and a white haired woman behind the counter asked me if she could help me. I told her I was looking for poly-fil and before I could even get the word out, she said "Nope!" and I said, "I'm sorry?" and

I have no information on the machines or classes here, my review is based solely off the fabric selection.
I am surprised the name has fabric in it as the selection is small. I didn't see any silk/blends, jersey knit, lace, no drapery type fabrics, jean, etc. Only cotton blends. I did not see any embellishments, buttons, thread, etc. 6-8 standing shelves of the same fabric in different patterns and colors.

Well, it's became apparent that because my hair is not white, I am clearly not to be addressed or greeted or any such kind offers of help. Otherwise I would have happily requested information on seeing machines as they had a great variety and purchased some of the great select fabrics they have in stock. While it had potential to be an excellent experience I fear my age may have been a detractor.

I heard about Anne's from a few quilting friends who raved about the great service and deal they received on their machines. I decided to stop in earlier today and I was amazed! I walked in a Viking lover but walked out an Ellisimo Queen! Super knowledgable staff that took the time and gave me an unbeatable deal. Must check this shop out!

I was drawn to Ann's because I am shopping around for a sewing machine. I wanted to try out both some higher-end sewing machines (Bernina) and some that were more within my price range (Janome) so that I could judge whether the extra money would be worth it. I was also hoping that they would have something interesting among their refurbished machines. I left feeling grateful that I am not the fool that they thought me to be.
When I arrived, I was greeted by a cheerful woman and explained my needs--beginning crafter/sewer BUT I want to be able to do some hemming of pants, including jeans

I went into Ann's looking for a quilting machine. I was warned that they'd try to sell you whatever they were pushing that month for commission purposes, but I went anyway. A woman named Meredith approached me and asked if I needed any help. When I told her my $500 budget, she scoffed at me and with indignation told me that I "wouldn't find anything for under $500 here".
I asked her about trade-ins, since knowing what good quality sewing machines cost, I was fine with a refurbished one. "Oh no," she said, "nothing under $2000 used here" (which doesn

Even though I live in Cambridge, I drove down to Canton when I wanted to buy a sewing machine because I had heard good things about this place. When I called them to ask a question about my previous machine, they offered to help me out if I brought the machine in, to save me from mail ordering an unnecessary part. I really appreciated their help, since I don't know much about sewing (or the machines).
They sell Bernina, Baby Lock, Janome, and Husqvarna Viking machines. Sewing and embroidery. They also sell fabrics, and machine parts (feet, needles, etc.). Their fabrics are pricey, but they
