Britex has a great selection of fabric I have not seen before. Knowledgeable friendly staff along with a fabulous hidden gem, Douglas. He absolutely made my visit and my day! Thank you Britex!

Britex is a treasure. The selection is top notch if you’re looking for quality, and the staff are so helpful. They wouldn’t sell me fabric that wasn’t right for me, and when I wasn’t sure what type of closure I needed, they found me the right type, one I hadn’t known about.

The best fabric store! Jam packed with fabric, notions, and buttons! Most of the staff was really friendly, only one that wasn’t. Apparently they also have a thriving online store too.

This is a wonderland! I only quilt and sew simple clothes so far, so I tend to haunt thrifts, outlets and use bargains. Britex offers a world of inspiration and makes me want to take classes and up my game don't miss the fabrics upstairs and the beautiful view of the silks below, especially on a sunny day.
