Editorial Review for Satin Moon Fabrics – by Lorraine Sanders

In Short
Bolsters of fabric from richly dyed imported silks and high-end upholstery to funky faux fur and playful prints worthy of a child's bedroom draw professional seamstresses, weekend sewing warriors and browsers in need of inspiration to this Clement Street store. In back, patrons flip through pages of classic Vogue and Borda books brimming with patterns for all ages and occasions. The two sisters who own the shop are usually on hand to offer design suggestions and advice.

User Reviews for Satin Moon Fabrics

The store has a lot of charm. The owner/operators do not. Their attitude ranges from snooty and negative to engaged and helpful. You just never know what you are going to get. The location is nice, the City does not have a many stand alone fabric stores, so it is a real resource for the Richmond District. It is fun to look at Satin Moon's selection, if you can overlook the unpredictable proprietors. I have been on the receiving end of their wrath, and it is not pretty. Why do I go back? I guess it's sort of the place I love to hate, like the Eileen Fisher store in downtown Walnut Creek. Happy Sewing!

Customer service is seriously lacking at this store!! I absolutely agree with the user above. Do NOT go to this store. I went in recently to ask for a specific kind of fabric. The employee simply said "we don't have it"..in a very rude tone and walked away. Not even suggesting other types of fabrics I could use. Being a novice in fabric, I would think that they would at least help me find something close to what I was looking for. This experience really made me feel that they didn't want my business. I was ready to drop some serious money, but oh well...they lost a customer. I would definitely rather go to Britex or even Fabrix across the street, where at least the people there are helpful and not rude. It was a very unpleasant experience and I will never go back there ever!
