specialty: fabric
Staff is VERY generous with their time. Whenever I need a "fix", I go to Fabrics Unlimited and theylet me wander around the store, gushing over the beautiful fabrics. The staff knows my "fabric style" and will show me things theythink I may like. Nine times out of ten, they are correct. I livenear the fabulous G Street Fabrics in Rockville MD. However, mymost coveted and beautiful fabrics come from Fabrics Unlimited.brenda billingsley
