This place has a large and very beautiful collection of fabric. Come with time in hand so that you can see through the collection and find the fabric you like. There were good discounts present, like 50% off on buying a minimum of 5 yards etc.Apart from fabric, you also get pillows, cotton, foam. There were design books too for browsing.

Freddy Farkels is a 10,000 sq.ft. wearhouse Located at 86 CooLodge ave in Watertwon MA. They have a HUGE & beautiful selection of TONS&TONS of different kinds of fabrics & aLL at a DISCOUNTED PRICE! Also, Located inside the fabric store/warehouse, is another business The Custom Shop where they do furniture reupholstering, slipcovers, cushion refills, new cushion covers(or complete cushion covers, which are new covers&new stuffers inside the cushions!) this is a family owned business thats been in business since 1927! The Custom Shop has won The Best Of Boston Numerous times now & will continue to innovate the furniture business in years to come! i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend you either Look up The Custom Shop or Google it&see aLL the amazing work that they do! you can send a photo right on thier website and get a quote/estimate back within Less than a day! This is an amazing business but its kind of sad that the younger generation doesnt reaLLy appreciate the vaLue of GOOD OLD FASHION PIECES OF FURNITURE & HOW WELL MADE THEY USED TO BE! if you have ANY TYPE of Furniture thats been passed down in your famiLy, &you want to make it Look more modern this is the pLace to do it! Furniture DEFINITELY isnt made Like how it used to be made years and years ago. Today most furniture is mass produced&the fillers are aLL from 3rd world countries(aka China)which thier foam Legit will only Last you about 2-3years. The foam used at the custom shop is sourced LOCALLY RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS! The type of foam the custom shop uses has the Least amount of chemicaLs/flame retartends aLLowed and should last you at LEAST A GOOD 10-15+ years!

Always a pleasure going there. People always so nice. I work at Mr. Sweeper sew & vac. And always refer customers to them for fabric. The only thing we dont carry. Great place. Met the owner today very, very nice man.

I stopped in to browse fabrics for an upcoming upholstery project for a sofa I am building. I mentioned it was my first time in the store and got a very helpful tour around, a couple useful fabric suggestions, and all my questions answered. This was in stark contrast to several other upholstery fabrics sellers Ive visited, who really could care less about me as a customer. They have a wide selection of fabrics on hand, and an even larger selection that they can order. The store is well laid out and the prices seem quite good; easy parking too! I would certainly recommend them.

Terrific! A truly amazing place in terms of the fabric choices, the custom work they do, and the exceptional customer service. I worked with Patty, who was a pro every step of the way-- indeed, when there was a problem she personally came to my house, checked out the issue, and redid the job so it would work. This place has integrity and takes pride in what they do. I hope they will stay in business a long time!

Freddie and all the folks were so helpful, so very kind. If I were seeking to invest in refurbishing furniture I treasured, or wrapping a view to inspire I would not look anywhere else.I was totally impressed and am extremely grateful to them.

Ordered $1k worth of fabric on 9/30 and was told to expect it to arrive in two weeks. Two months and three unreturned phone calls later, I just found out the manufacturer doesnt have the fabric.

Great store run by a mom and pop, their daughter and her husband. The selection is AMAZING and if youre looking for something special you will find it here. I have never seen so many different bolts of cloth in my life. If you need three yards or thirty you will find what you need. Nice people.

I go for the great selection of sale/remainder fabrics on the bolt, including indoor-outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella. Knowledgeable and patient help is always available.

Despite the name this is a great place for Upholstery fabric only. The customer service was great, very helpful in instructing me to find other stores for apparel fabric.

I got my sofas reupholstered by this company 2 years ago. They charged me over $2000 and then did not include new legs. The legs broke and I had to pay another $200. After 2 years, the fabric is all dirty and it is ripping. I only have an 11 yr old male.. I do not have a lot of children. I would never, never go to this store again. I wasted over $2000 and now I need to either buy new sofas or get slip covers. They should be ashamed.
