Universal Fabric Center is a favorite fabric store in the area, described as a wonderful spot and a new haven. It is packed with a huge and numerous selection, offering a very wide variety of silks and many options, including very unique and rare fabrics that you cannot find anywhere else. The store is also known for tons of stuff everywhere and the best button collection in Houston, alongside decorative buttons in abundance and gorgeous ribbons. The service is great, with super helpful, patient, and very helpful staff. The owner is always present and helpful, even providing guidance like showing customers sewing teachers. Customers are guided directly to what they need, and staff assists with practical details like fabric conversion. While some note the place can seem a bit chaotic at first sight, those who know what they are looking for can find it quickly. Opinions on price vary. Some find prices reasonable, but others feel the store is overpriced, with items priced well over retail, noting expensive fabrics and accessories. The parking in front is free. It is highly recommended for quality fabrics and accessories, especially for those with the money to spend on unique finds.
Great assortment of fabrics and accessories. You need time to go through all the fabrics they have!
