I ordered 4 swatches of fabric because I plan to recover a bunch of outdoor furniture. For $3 a swatch, I expected reasonably-sized pieces that would give you an inkling of how it would look on my furniture. What I got were cell-phone-sized pieces of fabric that were completely useless. So, I called customer service. The response. "That's our normal swatch size. No refunds." Disgusted, I went to OnlineFabric Store, where they have a tool that lets you visualize the fabric on your furniture. I bought $1,000 of fabric.

I ordered over $500 worth of expensive fabric specifically to make four full-length curtains. I reasonably expected the fabric to arrive as one continuous length, or at the very least to be clearly warned before shipping if that was not possible. Instead, Fabric Guru sent my order in three separate cuts — for the exact same full price, with no discount and no advance notice. This completely ruined the purpose of my purchase. Because the fabric was cut into separate pieces, I can now make only two of the four long curtain panels I had planned, despite spending more than $500 on the fabric. When customers are ordering a large quantity of expensive yardage, especially an amount that clearly suggests a large sewing or drapery project, cutting it into multiple random pieces without asking is simply unacceptable. Had I known the fabric could not be supplied as one continuous piece, I would never have placed the order. More than $500 spent, and half of my planned project is now impossible. I am extremely disappointed and would not order large yardage from Fabric Guru again.

They sent the. fabric to the wrong address and would not reimburse me or send me new fabric.

Several years ago, this was an excellent fabric resource! Not so much anymore. They're selling quilt fabric, and less than trust worthy brands. Not to mention the prices are on par with retail and Etsy. Not a deal anymore, and certainly not a deal for 'off register' or seconds. I think the Guru has burned out of juice. Try Nick of Time, or any in North Carolina, a sale at Hovby Lobby would be better.

Having not ordered through Fabric Guru before, I read reviews and realized that others were just as hesitant as myself given the number of scams out there. I took a chance and was so pleased, that I wanted to let others know how good my experience was. I ordered 3 different fabrics of 8 yards each. One of them was discontinued and my local fabric store didn't have any more and couldn't get it. Customer Service contacted me to let me know that they didn't have the 8 yds I needed on one bolt, but rather 2 cuts that would make the yardage I needed. They wanted to make sure I approved and was okay with that. I expected that it would take awhile to receive and again, I was surprised that it arrived within days. The fabric arrived on individual bolts wrapped nicely and secured as though I just picked them up from the store. This was a great experience and I recommend them highly. I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to make sure that I shared my experience!

The fabric I purchased was sent with permanent black sharpie writing on it with a big red stain in the middle. None of this was shown in the online photos or was in the description. It’s unusable. Had also received fabric from them recently that was nowhere near the yardage as advertised. Looks like something is going wrong there.

My advise is to be careful when you order your fabric from there. Make sure that you don't alter the fabric in any way because there is no refund even if the fabric is 2nd quality. As of this writing, do not purchase Magnolia Home in Pisa Sky--the pattern on 6 inches of the sides is grossly uneven and impossible to line up. Also you cannot rely on its sample photos--bright lights can cause a huge mistake in your project, especially if it's a remnant and no sample can be ordered.

Fabricguru communicated well from start to delivery. The yardage arrived exactly as ordered, in one full cut, clean and neatly folded. Will definitely order again.
