Huge fabric store with wide variety of quality fabrics and notions extremely well organized making it easy to find what youre looking for. Everything from wedding gown fabrics to drapery/upholstery, Pendleton wool to quilting including batiks to swim suit fabrics and sweat shirt and fleece and everything between that you could imagine. Knowledgeable friendly staff.

Seemingly endless varieties of fabric. Helpful, knowledge assistance when you need it. It seems everyone on staff is multi talented with various sewing and hand craft projects. Great recommendations for everything from fabrics to the tools and gadgets that will help make your project go easier and more quickly. Definitely worth your visit.

Good selection with decent prices. Keep in mind they are closed Sunday and Monday. And in also close early other days of the week.

Lots of fabric selection and accessories for all kinds of projects. I went specifically for upholstery and found some great fabric at a more than reasonable price.

Mill End is one of a kind fabric supply store, they have everything and then some. Sewing supplies too, youll need a couple of hours plus to explore this place. The store goes back many years and supplied Wool to the military during the war. They were the only manufacturer on the west coast. I will provide pictures after my next visit.

This place didnt have much for me cause i dont craft very much, but i like the variety and the amount of things they have.

Store has been open for many years, they not only have a VERY large in store stock, they can order from vast manufacturing network. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, they do not stear you to the higher priced. selection. From dress material to furniture material, it is a fun place.

I went there for carpet. They carry a huge selection with many different grades, colors, quality. They also have a large selection of sewing items/material. Was clean, staff is friendly/helpful.

Huge. Best selection Ive seen in Oregon or Washington. Found some remnants to restore a case cover.

Nancy the Owner has a great team of people, wow ! all so nice and polite to deal with and talk to. so sincere with great business ethics. Thank you. Still going strong since 1918, WOW !!

So fortunate to have this store in my community. The fabric and notions selections are really outstanding. Many long term, knowledgeable staff. Ive purchased so many fabrics for home decorating projects as well as quilting and clothing. Now its a great source of fabrics for masks too!

They have everything to do with sewing. Fantastic selection.

They have a huge selection of everything! The store layout is super organized so that you can quickly see where to find all the fabric types.

This place is huuuuuge! I imagine it has everything you could possibly need, if you knew where to look. I would have rated it five because of the big selection, but I had only one small thing to get and no clue where to look. I walked around for ten minutes looking confused, and the workers didn’t ask or notice my confusion. Finally, I just asked someone but felt dumb for not finding it, ha. I’d like to go again for future projects and explore around.

Huge store of mill-end dead stock fabrics. Great selection of upholstery fabrics. Store also stocks special-order only fabrics. Super helpful and knowledgeable customer service. Almost to the point of too chatty! Look in the back for close outs and upholstery scraps. Block off at least an hour (or more!) to hunt and explore

Mill End is my happy place. Great recommendations from people who know their craft, not just selling a product. Humongous selection.

Fantastic store with the widest variety or fabrics and fittings. The staff is helpful and there are multiple cutting tables so there isnt much of a wait to get your fabric off the bolt. Pricing is decent - there are affordable fabrics along with pricier, high quality wools and silks. The building is so large that it is quite easy to follow social distancing.

I dare anyone to step in this emporium of creativity, set amongst the greatest collection of all things fabric and not be in awe! It is a visual tour delight and never lets you down. From quilting to fabric cork (yeah its a thing), its here. Got fabric for new blazer and scrapbiiking stuff.

My go to spot to locate supplies for my business. Always the best prices for local.

New fave sewing supply store - excellent fabric selection

The staff is so nice and helpful, very knowledgeable, and great prices in the annex section!

I wanted to like this place, so bad. Coming from a state with a similar warehouse style fabric store, I thought shopping here would feel like a homecoming. Suffice it to say, I’ve never visited such a large fabric store and felt so limited and disappointed in selection. This store is outdated in all the worst ways, which is such a bummer, because there’s mucho money to be made in catering to the younger generations of modern sewists.I shopped for both quilting cottons, apparel fabric, a variety of notions and struggled to find anything quality, or what I needed. 100% cotton shirtings were ok, but otherwise most everything else was cheap poly or rayon blends, or completely overpriced.I also spent my time waiting for fabric to be cut wondering what I did to warrant so much attitude from the employee. In addition to her general annoyance at my existence, she (stone faces and unapologetic) slid my items across the counter towards me, launching them straight on the ground. Some of the yardage she cut had a large and obvious stain, and she was very sneaky about adding extra yardage to one of my tickets.If this is meant to be a deadstock warehouse, I’m shooketh, the prices are astronomical. I would describe Mill End as Joanne quality without the discounts. Sad to say I took my tiny lot for $50 and likely won’t be back.

A lot of options. What they dont have, or is low is stock, can sometimes be special ordered. So much better to buy online and be able to touch the fabric than take chances with an online-only store.

Tons of fabrics, notions and trims, found the exact fabric I was looking for!!!

Long time Milwaukie Institution of Fabric, Findings, Wool, Bridal, Home Dec, and Upholstery. Very knowledgeable staff always helpful and a joy to assist you with your project. There is no other store left in the Portland area like this one! Support this very special diamond in Milwaukie!

Great selection and the staff are super helpful

Great selection and really nice staff.

Dont waste the drive

I was soo excited to come and pick up fabrics for shawls and breastfeeding wraps for my friend buut I respect Mill End’s call on temporary closure 😭My other friend told me so many awesome things bout this store. Can’t wait to come back at a safer time!

I could spend a week in here and still not see it all. Plus the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, AND efficient!!!

There were lots of different fabrics, and helpful staff, but I forgot to bring the fabric I needed to match.

I hadnt been here for years. It dropped off my radar until recently when a friend and I were talking and realized there was a place where our needs intersected: The Mill End Store. My friend was redecorating following some renovations to her home, and I had taken up a new hobby and have interest in sewing and craft supplies, notions (zippers, backing, buttons, patterns, adhesives, kits, etc) upholstery supplies (batting, webbing, foam, etc.), and among other things, fabric. Oh boy, is there FABRIC. In fact, the Mill End Store has the largest display of fabric in the country. I spent half a day here browsing (and touching) a vast array from silk to suede, and spandex to sail cloth, burlap to brocade, and taffeta to twill. As my morning waned I reluctantly made my way from the remnant area past upholstery fabrics, the bridal department, sewing room supplies, the cutting tables, the phalanx of welcoming, courteous, helpful and knowledgable staff, (whew, almost to checkout), the designer collections, and the entrance to the in-house floor covering sister store, I realized there was an entire swath of the cavernous warehouse that I hadnt even been in! My companion and I havent scheduled our return trip to explore the areas we missed, but itll be soon; I spotted some tropical print oil cloth bolt ends thatll make amazing placemats.

The owner is very knowledgeable about the textile. Great selection in the store.

I was going to the Mill End store to get materials to make a skirt for the very first time. The staff were all really smart and nice and helped me get everything I needed for a good price.

Love this place! They have a huge selection of fabrics and notions, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and they’ll even take time to chat with you about your project. They have leather hides, as well in a bunch of colors and types. They even have a section for organic and sustainable fabrics like linen, organic cotton, and bamboo.

Great selection of high quality fabrics. Their workers are all sewers so are most helpful. One gal gave me a photo copy of a mask pattern which I like better than the one I had been using.

I count myself lucky this place is a trek from my house or Id probably be here all the time. They have a really unique selection of fabrics I never see anywhere else and their store is HUGE. I feel like every time I go in I discover something new. The staff is also really lovely. Ive been sewing for decades and I still find myself learning things from them sometimes. :)

Remember to check the annex area and manager specials for fabric that might work.

Found the perfect backing for my snowflake quilt and the ladies were absolutely wonderful!!

Quality fabric and supplies. Courteous staff, always helpful and polite. Very clean and well maintained store.

Mill End Store is amazing! They have SO MUCH FABRIC EVERYWHERE! If youre looking to make anything involving fabric, this is your place to go! The associates were super friendly, and were really helpful in helping us find the correct fabric and materials for our project. Thanks ladies! :)

Hard to find stuff. Good help

What a great fabric store! I understand that its the best in the city.

The fabric counter has always been nice. But when I go to pay, is where I get a bad experience. I leave feeling unwanted. Yesterday I showed my competitor coupon of 20% off. Although my coupon said “20% off entire purchase”, I understand they only honor 20% one cut of fabric. The cashier told me “bummer” and she could not honor the 20% off a fabric cut. Since the coupon said entire purchase. (Wouldn’t that qualify her to give me 20% off one cut if I only purchased one item from joanns using that coupon it would be, in turn; 20% off one item). Before I even walked out the door the cashier was speaking to the other cashier about my transaction. She had the obvious intention to be unkind, just because she knew she could. To me, that felt degrading, and I am unsure if I will be back.

Large selection, helpful staff. New and old styles. A fun stop!

So much fabric. Its truly a sewists nirvana. Prices are always affordable and I always find more than I need.

Occasionally hard to find helpful sales people, but generally helpful. Has good quality fabric and trims.

Lots of fabric. Well organized selection.

Found everything I needed for my project, many items on half price. Nice staff. 102 years young. An Oregon icon.

My happy place. I’ll take any excuse to go there

There are only a handful of independent fabric stores left in the Portland-metro area. There are other stores that have wonderful fabrics but there is no one with this level of variety. Only Mill End has fabrics for virtually every conceivable use including home decor, upholstery, outdoor, utility, bridal, crafts, quilting, active apparel, suiting/tailoring, costume, and general apparel sewing. They have an excellent range of both basic and high end fabrics. Woven or knit Silk, Wool (and felts), Linen, Cotton (try to find a weave or pattern they dont have), Rayon, Nylon, Polyester, Spandex, Courdura, Cane, Neoprene, Grasses, and tech fabrics are all well represented. Ive never special ordered anything from them but I know someone who has and they said it was easy. Their inventory of trim and beading is good but not remarkable. The notions section while well stocked, seems underwhelming in comparison to the fabric. They have an adequate amount of craft supplies (I was surprised and disappointed by the total lack of dyeing and fabric paints). I cannot recall if they carry yarns and floss for needle crafts. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. In my opinion the strike a balance between some fabric stores that treat you like are a Saint Bernhard in an antique store and other stores that are so short staffed that it is almost impossible to find someone to take your money. If you love (or even like) fabric then Mill End is (one of) the best place(s) to shop.

Place is huge and overwhelming if itll be your 1st going. Reasonable pricing.

I have a business that depends on having quality fabric on hand. I know I can count on Mill End to usually have what I need. I find the staff helpful and friendly. I am always in a hurry so its nice that I can pop in, get what I need and go. I dont have to wait in long lines at one cutting station like other stores.

This place has an amazing collection of all sorts of fabrics in amazing profusion. Watching the customers making their way from bolt is like watching a gourmand move from platter to platter in anticipation of the next great delight.Go there to see the goods in their array or go to see the customers looking for one more treasure.

I love this store but they are over charging so badly I just cannot shop there like I would if there fabric prices were compatible with other shops... I would perfect to spend that kind of cost for fabric with a small business not a mega store like this

Good close out priced fabrics. Watch for sales with up to 40% savings.

So excited to find this store! It’s my new go to place. Thank you to my friend Wendy for taking me shopping there.

An exceptional store. Always worth the drive. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Wide selection of fabrics and notions. I would recommend it for anyone in need of fabric for any project.

A wonderful old-school fabric store- everything you need for sewing and textile products. There is also the carpet section where I have purchased remnants and bound carpet pieces for entryways. I love wandering around this store- old timey in the best sense meaning lots of friendly people to assist you in your projects- people who know sewing and fabric. Service and settings may have you thinking you were back in the 50s or 60s when there was real customer service- only the fabrics and products they sell are right up to date.

Such a wide variety of fabrics, very kind staff. Will be a frequent supply run for us.

Lots and lots of fabric of all kinds and all price points. Awesome

Oh my gollies, I love this place! I have been looking for a fabric store just like this. They are a bit pricey but, you get what you pay for and the fabric here is good quality. The staff is very helpful and good at suggestions. I will be back, oh yes I will be back. Worth the drive.

Fun store and Im not the sewing artist! If its has to do with cloth they have it.

They have it all at great prices. Friendly service.

This place is HUGE with very helpful and friendly staff. Their sign says no other store in America has a wider selection of fabric, and I believe it. Check it out, it will be well worth your time.

The best place to find a wide range of fabric types and unique things you wont find in the big box fabric stores

There is so much great stuff here. I love shopping their fabrics and trims. I wish they kept their stock more filled in as a some of my faves are down to the ends and not enough to work with. But 4 stars as their rug selection was a bit meh and the building is hard to spot.

Very well organized store. Helpful staff. Lots of parking but one way in one way out. Has things that you will not find at other fabric stores. Worth your time to check out

This place has eeeeeeeverything! As a photographer and business owner (separate biz) I have been here countless times for countless projects. 99.9% of my time I find what I need at The Mill End Store. It’s definitely my “go-to” for all my fabric needs.

A joy to explore the extreme variety in fabrics. My go to place for unique designs.

Save yourself the trouble. Skipp Joanns and any other fabric store. This place has everything you need, its easy ti actually find what youre looking for, and staff is really helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are great! Now that youve discovered Mill End, youll be back!

We had an amazing experience at this fabric store. It is well organized, but the true gem are the staff who work here. We came in with a very odd request, but each person we talked to worked with us to find the best materials for our project. We had a group of children with us and they helped and engaged with them as well. Great fabric shopping experience!

Amazing selection of fabrics, notions however are very pricey, as I went to find some knitting accessories. The store is huge, like a big old warehouse. Id imagine some of their stock has been there for decades not a bad thing if youre into retro and decent stuff.

Seeing so much to sew..Fabulous variety of fabrics!

LOVE this place. could spend days just going thru all the amazing patterned fabrics alone. also a friendly staff that is super helpful amongst all the organized chaos that is this giant store. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for fantastic crafty cloths

My favorite fabric store. Great fabric, helpful staff, convenient location.

I run a couture costume/bridal sewing business and Mill End is my first stop for all types of fabric! They just have an absolutely wonderful selection. Sometimes when I dont have a specific project in mind I will just wander the fabrics and wait until one jumps out and speaks to me. Voila, new costume inspiration! The employees are always very helpful and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.

Mill end is the fancier option when looking at big fabric stores in Portland (compared to fabric depot) they also have a rug store in the back. They dont have the good coupons some stores have, BUT they will honor most competitors coupons! So there you go. Youll like the wools, linens, and silks if youre into high end sewing. The home deco area if good too.

Great fabric & sewing supplies. Not open every day, call for hours, dont believe web site

Wow! Thank you for such a great experience discovering your store! The velvet I got for my customer is beautiful!

I have been shopping here for over 30 years and almost always find what Im looking for.

Amazing... Wonderful staff... A little pricy but so worth it

A vast variety of fabrics and knowledgeable staff.

Ooooh so many beautiful fabric choices! I spent about a half hour at the Jo-Anns and couldnt find anything I liked. Mill End had so many beautiful, contemporary, fun, luxurious, pretty fabrics to choose from I could barely make up my mind. Staff was very helpful. Yes it was more expensive than Jo-Anns but their selection is worth it.

This place makes me soooo happy!! Its like walking into a sparkly magical place with every kind of anything fabric you could ever want!The ladies are all pleasant and always super helpful. I drive about an hour to come here a couple times a month and its always worth it.Ive been told folks drive down from Seattle because no other place up there compares.If youre on about fabrics go here. You wont regret it

The most incredible fabric store ever. Enormous selection. Anything you could think to make, they have it.

Great customer service.. Everyone was very helpful and they have the widest selection of fabrics in town..

I went there to check out their yarn. They had some but they also have over 10,000 sq feet of fabric. If you cant find what you need here, it doesnt exist!

Wow. Came here with my wife and my first impression was antique store, but no, it is a large ol warehouse building full of stuff. They have flooring, rugs, never ending fabric selection, buttons and yarn. They have some furniture and all sorts of crafty sewing supplies one could ever need. Staff was friendly and willing to help. Quite a place.

I walked in and I was instantly in love. I had a huge smile on my face the entire time, just walking in was enough to light a creative fire in my heart.

Great place for fabrics. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff

I love this place! Fabric choice, great prices and unusual items around every corner. Great people work there and they are very knowledgeable.

Huge selections of fabric, notions, carpet, rugs. Easy parking. Would be nice if they added a little music in the background. Its exceptionally quiet in there. Kind of like shopping in a library without the librarian shooshing you to be quiet.

I flew in from Dallas Texas this afternoon to visit my twin new nieces born a little over three months ago. I stopped in here on my way to Wilsonville. I am so glad I did.This was the most amazing fabric collection I have ever experienced! The selection and variety of dress fabrics blew my mind from the moment I entered the store.It was a major sensory overload with color but in a good way. My mind was racing with creative ideas for all the fun apparel I could make.I loved this place! The next time I am in Portland, I will be back.Theresa from Dallas

I went to get fabric for a wedding dress alteration. The employees were more than helpful and spent the whole time with me and searched all of their resources for something that would work for me. I was more than pleased with their efforts. They were an extraordinary help. One thing that stood out immensely to me was the amount of disorganization. The place was crowded with fabrics in random places. I could not make any sense of the madness, but I am not a seamstress so I cannot judge on a trade I am unfamiliar with.

Really amazing store with everything you could need and more. A perfect opportunity to shop local y’all!

This is a fantastic place to get fabric of any kind! The employees are super friendly and helpful. They have an abundance of fabric to choose from and great prices! Also, they take JoAnns coupons ;)

Very successful shopping trip. Delightful staff. Do be sure to get your flats from the back room measured before you reach checkout...just sayin

This place is such an incredible resource. I wish more stores like this existed, but then this one would be less special. A dizzying array of fabrics and all sorts of other random goodies for creative crafty folk. Even if youre not in the market for textiles, if you dig how the heck does this place exist kind of stores, make the trip. Its worth it.

Great fabric, home decor, quilting, yarn, flooring store. Amazing selection and super helpful and friendly staff. We visit whenever we are in the area.
