So happy to have found this fabric as we live in an area with lots of birds and we usually get a hummingbird thru here evert year. So precious

025 Lilac-DOUBLE FACE SATIN 25M RIBBON 6MM POLYESTER-

Love the panel I wish I had gotten more of the coordinating fabric , as it sold out quickly

What a wonderful shop and friendly owner. I made several purchases and some will be used to go with the Row By Row 2024 kit that I bought. Although it was not close to the dock it was well worth the walk and even got a few suggestions of where to get poutine for lunch.

I enjoyed the visit, help and quilting discussion. Owner very pleasant and helpful. Great collections of fabrics.

Soft and warm as I had hoped it would be

Love this fabric but have not made use of it yet.

They are very good quality! And match very well with the beads i already have. Best partt of my purchase is that I was able to make my decision in person rather than guess online matching. Thanks for great service!

I love this fabric as it goes with so many things. It almost works like a neutral for my purposes. A friend saw the two fabrics I chose and commented on how nice they are. The service is exceptional; staff is always helpful.

I was so happy to have found this panel at Rainforest Fabrics. I was also pleasantly surprised with the ease of ordering and speedy delivery.

Great needles to use on batik fabric.

Might be a bit hard for me !!

What makes our shop great
We love to offer help and advise when customers ask.
I started sewing at the age of 8, loving to be able to created with all types of fabric.
I had dreamed of being a fashion designer when I grew up,
Then I fell in love with quilting in my early 20's.
I have a weird math brain, so if you come in with your measurements ( prefer inches), I can help calculated your supplies needed.
We also do long arm quilting, which keeps me busy. i try my best to have a 1 month or less turn around.
We offer long arm -quilting edge to edge on our APQS Millie and some custom work.
For rates and to be added to our list please call our shop.
We carry a nice selection of Wide back cottons and Flannel.
We carry fireside, cuddletex, and Minkie as well.
