Recently, my daughter gave me the task of sewing multiple outfits for her- without a pattern. I found all the materials at F & M fabrics and she loved my choices! The staff is absolutely amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable. I live on the opposite side of town, but whenever I take on a sewing project, I don’t mind making the long drive to F&M, more often than not, they will have what I’m looking for!
Lots of choices and employees always willing to assist you
This place is amazing! They have fabrics all the way up to the ceiling. And if they dont have it the owner will try and get it for you. Very nice staff. Always willing to help you the staff is. Very positive store and working environment. Please come and buy your fabrics here. Please support this store. Keep coming back. The owner is very kind and he really trying to give his customers what they want. Please come and shop here and buy, you will not be disappointed..
Nice place to shop for quick items. Also has a lot of the extras like sun dresses and shoes. Fair prices.
Love this place but havent been here in a while and the prices were a little too high...guess its the economy 🤷♀️
The employees are not helpful. I see much better options + variety online for better prices, anyway.
I find they have the best prices in town. There are always people available to help, even when they are busy.
This is a great place to buy all your fabric needs. The staff is there to help cut your fabric and attentive. You dont have to search for someone they find you. They reduce prices as well on fabrics depending on stock. Its my go to fabric store. Thank you for the customer service 🙏
Nice! Has fabric of all kinds ! You will find what your looking for here! And the staff is great! At your service from entering until leaving!
Havent been in there yet. But my best friend said she loves it
Very large warehouse full of great fabrics. Has a bigger selection than other local frabric stores. Staff seemed friendly. Signs are placed everywhere to help organize the fabric types. Pretty average prices.Note: Much of the fabric is stacked on top of eachother and rolled up, so you can only really see and feel the selection that is at your eye level.
Martha Is amazing ! She always trying to help Im every possible way!
It was my first time in this store and the employee that helped me and my mom was Martha❤️ She is an angel helped me and my mom finding fabrics for blankets and other items, she kept us entertained and told my mom that she had very nice and beautiful hair. For a fact we are coming back if we need more stuff at the store. I recommend y’all guys to come here❤️ If I could I would give this store a 10 ⭐️
So many different beautiful fabrics, patterns, and colors to choose from! The staff were very friendly, polite, knowledgable, and humorous! Spreading joy no doubt!
Overall extremely good experience customer service was excellent the selection and variety over the top never seen such a grand fabric store it had exactly what I needed of course having so many selections overall! Five stars
Best fabric store in the world they are super fast in helping you they have everything you may need to master your project in mind did not think I was going to find what I needed for mine and I did thank you fandm fabrics keep up the good work
Excellent staff, excellent selection, and excellent prices.For anyone wondering, know that fabrics here are more sorted by general type and content, not specifically like box store fabric shops, and are stored on long bolts without details rather than on cards with tags. Think more the Garment District in LA rather than Joanns or Hancocks.
Quality Fabrics Great Prices & A Friendly & Helpful Staff.

Wont go back. Most of the fabrics are outdated. Couldnt find anything I would use. The staff were not friendly. One actually pushed past me. Nope.
My wife loves it. Its a family owned business. They have a huge selection of fabric. The only gripe I have, as a husband who waits for the wife to finish shopping. They dont let you use the restroom any more.
Friendly service and the the fabric is beautiful.
I moved out of town for a number of years and one of the greatest things I missed was this store. Its a one of a kind. You cant find ANYTHING like this store anywhere else. Makes me glad Im back home.
They have so much to choose from this like a candy store
Fabulous knowledgeable staff!
Love the service and selections. Prices are good as well. You can buy 1/4 yards of material.
I really like to go to the fabric store they have a variety of fabric and more
Love this place and variety of fabrics. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful.
Love it they have so many different fabrics you are defiantly going to find what you are looking for. Friendly and helpful staff. The down side is that the aisles are not properly labeled...at least not to me that is and I didnt see any precuts but I also didnt go through the hole store. You could get lost in there and I mean that in a good way.
A lot of stuff to look at, but no bathroom. Mcdonalds on the corner!
F & M may just have the best fabric stock in town.. You may need help to find what youre looking for but they also have friendly & knowledgeable people.. I always tell my friends to go there 1st., M
This place has EVERYTHING! Any kind of fabric, button or ribbon you need, you will find it here. I mean anything and everything. They also have the best discount button bin. Definitely a crafters paradise.
I got just what I needed there in the lady was very helpful
Great selection and prices.
HUGE variety of fabric and the staff is always helpful
The owner has a great deal of knowledge of fabric and will work with you if your not sure. The staff is amazing the prices are good. Great place
Great great place we travel 3 hours to come here and super happy leaving each time we do
Great selection of fabrics and notions. Good prices. Friendly staff.
Large selection of fabric by the yard.Not easy to find woven bolts of Mexican patterns.
Good place to git fabric good help
They carry a lot of beautiful fabric to choose from. I meet the owner hes very helpful &nice, also the worker.
The employees are not obeying the stores own policy of distancing and safety to avoid the spread of Covid-19!! Ive seen employees, and the wife of the business owner herself not wearing a mask! No more than 10 people? Yeah right! The other day it was PACKED like any day before the pandemic.I will consider changing my rating for the store if they actually change the way they are handling business during the pandemic. I honestly hope no body gets sick from going to this place.
They have everything a seamstress would want. The coolest crafts, and aplicas. Lots of variety and great prices. Very helpful employees, and so nice. Youll get lots of ideas!
Fabric selection is vast, has something for every budget. If you know quality you can find it at a drastically discounted price. Know what you want before you step through the doors or it can seem overwhelming. If youre just beginning in your sewing, take someone who knows fabrics, it will save you time and money.
As a teacher, I use fabric to cover my boards. This place has a dizzying selection and the best prices. When I needed to make dance costumes, they had all of the glitzy and glamorous notions. I recommend this place to everyone.
The BEST fabric store in Bakersfield! They have a huge and diverse selection of materials, and great customer service.
Many,many, fabrics to pick from. Helpful employees. Spend hours looking at many patterns and colors
I had a great day poking around this store. There are so many pieces! Prices range from $2-8 for most knits. They have both apparel and quilting cotton (licensed prints for $10) as well as a large selection of minky for $12 a yard. Definitely worth a look!
Kaitlynn and the other customer associates go above and beyond...the fabric store has so much to offer. Thank you F&M for your continuous and amazing business in Bakersfield.
Love shopping here. Large selection, affordable, and great service.
The lady who helped us was so sweet! the prices are amazing and there is so much to choose from is blows your mind. They dont just have fabric but things for sewing machines from needles to even patterns in case youre a beginner like me!
This is 1 nifty fabric store. Its huge its more like a warehouse fancy fabric store but my goodness they have a little bit of everything and lots of it and the prices are unbelievable. The family-run business. Theyre always very helpful Ive been going in there for years and Im glad theyre on the east side of town. if you thought projects that youre working on and do you need fabric check them out. If youre a quilter if heaven delight right there. Take time to come out to the east side and you wont be sorry.
I love this fabric store. What ever youre looking for they have. If you go there make sure you have plenty of time because it is so easy to get sidetracked the second you think you have what you want youll see something else. They will get you that roll of fabric that is almost to the ceiling, dont be afraid to ask. Literally this is a hidden treasure in Bakersfield, CA.
This business is family owned and operated. You can find just about any fabric you ever wanted here . Plus they have a wide variety of ribbon,buttons and embellishments. Staff is helpful, friendly and the place is clean.
If you love fabric you will love this place. There are hundreds of bolts to choose from. The staff is helpful. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who is an adventurous fabric seeker. If you need to have specific written information about the fabric this may not be the right store for you. The bolts are industrial size and type. If you want lots of variety and good prices and dont mind a warehouse atmosphere then you will love this place.
Awesome customer service every time I go.
I love F&M the man owner is a doll! Friendly place and great materials.
Lots of great choices
Pretty good store, but during covid-19 theyve lost my respect. The owners are RUDE to say the least and they dont wear a mask at any time and totally dont respect social distancing. Talking in your face, etc... Some of their employees dont wear masks for the most of the time and also dont respect social distancing. They dont sanitize, and they got this island of hand sanitizer pumps in the middle of the store counter which from a far you can see how gunked up it is from everyone using it and it not getting wiped down. Total yuck and a hazard for your health guys. DONT GO DURING COVID TIME! Place is as crowded as pre-covid, and they dont enforce any of their own s-distancing rules which are common sense... This has really disappointed me, and me and my friends are not going there anymore until this health crisis passes.
The staff has always been super helpful and friendly. I had one day 2 of them helped me search high and low for a fabric Id bought before and was hoping to get more of. We didnt find it - but they helped me search for a good while. Thats customer service.
Everyone was very helpful real good selection of fabric and there was a lot of good deals in there
Love buying fabric and ribbon here. Customer service is great. Always ready to help you find what you need. Prices are great too.
I have gone there for years and if I search long enough I can find what I want at a good price. However over the last few years the customer service has gone down. I was extremely disappointed the last few times I was there cause I felt the staff rather talked to each other than help me out. This last time was the straw. Three staff were sitting on the cutting table while three of us all needed help in the same row that was in eye sight of where they were sitting. One lady walked out she was so upset, the other was mad when fabric feel on her and I got really pissed when I almost hurt myself trying to get fabric from the shelf. After carding around the fabric for 10 minutes I finally got asked if I needed something and I asked about the price. Inside the tube was $3.99 crossed out and $2 marked, they tried to tell me it was $3.99. Finally one lady was rude to me and I told her to stop being rude and she walked away. I finally left when I was complaining about their lack of customer service skills to the guy and he responded was all I had to do was say something and I wouldnt of been helped, sadly my response was I shouldnt have to ask for help when I am clearly in your eye line and struggling for help. I promised them I would never be back and I mean it. Shame too case its the closes fabric store to my house and if you can find what you wants its a good deal but I rather pay more and be treated with respect and care.
Love this store the owners are very humble n so nice ..the employees are great ..all are great ..love my fabric store love love love
The most beautiful Fabrics at the best prices in town hands down! I have been shopping here for 15 years. And the customer service is amazing. I recommend this place 100%.
For how ever many years they have been around you would think that they would have more choices among the unique or odd fabrics. I keep going and hopping they have what Im looking for but they havent yet... But I do ALWAYS find something else to spend money on there plus the prices are great.
Came to this place because I heard good things. Will definitely come back after experiencing it for myself. The selection is insane and the prices are great! Not to mention the staff is extremely patient and helpful. I showed up about an hour and a half before they close and literally hand not decided on the fabrics I wanted by the hour 10 mark. Yet they still did not try to rush me, gladly pulled out anything I wanted to see and made this experience ideal! Will be back for ALL of my fabric needs.
I like this place service is ok I imagine it will feel a little more welcoming the more I shop. Staff are cordial.
Go to the fabric store when ever i want to make blankets they have every kind of material you can think of best place to go five-star place
Awesome selection and deal. Def need help though
Wonderful staff and good selection of fabrics. Lots of notions. easy local neigborhood access. lots of free parking
. June 24 Ok so once again I attempted to go into this store only out of an emergency and was not greeted when I entered even though I met eyes with each employee as I walked passed them.After I could not find what I needed on my own I had to request assistance. She clearly didnt want to help me but gave a small effortInstead of walking over with me to where the fabric was, she pointed off in a herbal direction and attempted to turn around I did not see the fabric so i turned around and asked are you going to show me or am I on my own. She responds oh yeah but never moved. I walked to the back row and she comes around laughing and pointing to the fabric in another direction..Then she says you werent paying attention.As if im a child. Disrespect is not anything I will tolerate so I left knowing I need the fabric. I would rather wait a week (delaying my deadline)than to let anyone talk to me like i dont carry an education I have been around long enough to know how this game is. I hate going in there. I have lived in this neighborhood for 17years and I have had a problem every single time. The owner even left me to help myself once. Im asking all African Americans to not give thembusiness. I dont belive they did anything to anyone about the way i was treated before but the internet will get this to the people. Im a business owner and trust, they know exactly how each person feels who works there. They know and dont care.None of my family or clients will be in there again. Thank God I can order offline. May Karma find you.0 stars.Not very helpful to black people. I had to wander around looking for items with no assistance. When I did ask for help, they were Not very friendly. EAnd seemed a lil impatient made me feel like leaving. My fabric was improperly cut. Only one staff acted as if serving us was important. I only shop here because I have no other fabric store in this area. Id rather drive to LA and get treated with friendly fast service. And better prices.
Bought 5 yards of tapestry material and five tassels for $16. No one can beat their prices and customer service. And I love to support locally owned business...
Place has a lot of different fabrics and other supplies. The guy who cut the fabric was nice. They seem helpful. I thought it was pricey but I dont normally buy fabric
They have it all here from sequin fabric to lovely lace ...my go to fabric store
Staff is really friendly and helpful.
The best deals, good customer service & a great selection of fabrics.
Lots of helpful employees offering to help, great selection too!
Lots of fabric nice people great prices
Great prices
This place is wonderful. I love it!
Great variety of fabrics! Good deals! Cashier lady... owner? needs customer friendly skills... But a really fun place to get creative!
It is worth the drive. Great selection, prices, and helpful staff. My “go to” place for all fabrics!
Best fabric store in the Bakersfield area! You dont need to travel to LA to shop because this store has it all. The owners are lovely which makes shopping at F & M such a great experience!
Extensive selection of fabrics. Reasonably priced with an added bonus of buttons, lace, ribbon and I even found leather, suede and weather resistant fabrics. So much to choose from that it can be overwhelming, but fun.
If youre on the hunt for a specific type of fabric this is the place to go. They have almost everything you could imagine when doing upholstery work or sewing. Their prices are great and all the employees are super friendly.
My cousin and I were looking for fabric and accessories for our clothing line, Martha was very helpful in helping us find everything we needed. Great selection of supplies and fabrics at really good prices.
This place has every kind of fabric you could imagine.. The ladys that work there were also very friendly and helpful..
I always can find the fabric, buttons and everything that I need to do my sewing projects. The best part is that the prices are the lowest in Bakersfield. I love this store since 1997.
THE BEST FABRIC STORE
This place is packed from the ceiling to the floor. no joke. so much fabric..its crazy. and BUTTONS. oh my gosh I spend over an hr just looking at all the buttons. 10 for 1.00. thats ok..
They are always so knowledgable and helpful every time I go in. Great variety of NFL and other sports fabric along with a HUGE variety of other fabrics and accessories. Plus they are super quick.
Love this place.
The best fabric store I love shopping, the employees really friendly and nice
The place looks old but overall the staff is excellent and there is a wide variety of fabrics that you are looking for. The fabrics have amazing designs as well.
