...Linda... I wanted to share some feedback with you. You’re absolutely my favorite online fabric vendor - not only because the products are reliably top quality, but also (and importantly) because you describe them in detail and provide lots of photos. So when I choose something, I know I have the detail I need to pick the right fabric for my project. The extra detail is vital to the selection process - and you’re the only one who provides it. So thank you - and keep on keeping’ on!
Lisa, Mount Laurel, NY [July, 2024]
Linda....I just received my order of the mid-weight stretch denim-lavender and I love the color and quality of the fabric. Just a shout out to tell you how much I love your business, fabric selection and customer service. Be well, happy, successful, healthy and safe!
Carol, Silver Spring, MD [June, 2024]
I just received [my new fabrics] and love them! The care in which each of them is packed shows me how much you care about your customers. I gave my daughter in law a gift certificate for your company and she is loving so much of what you offer that she is having such a good time choosing her fabrics. I am over the moon with the digital print fabrics that I have ordered ....[and] having owned 2 businesses over the last 48 years, I recognize and appreciate excellent customer service. It is rare these days and I wish you continued success! Wishing all of you a wonderful successful 2024!
Janice, J., Center Harbor, NH [February, 2024]
Something I wanted to convey: Some time ago I ordered fabric #86829. It is a soft firm knit blend with pale grey/beige tiger stripe design. I had ordered this to make my daughter a repeat garment from an old Vogue 9022. This was a dress I'd made for her some +/-40 years ago. For her birthday, she had asked for a repeat. The fabric and its design nicely lent itself to this pattern. My daughter was delighted with this gift dress, and by chance she has a grey jacket to nicely match for the colder Michigan winters. I did want to tell you what a joy this fabric was to sew, and I even hand washed a large swatch to see how this would react. All went well! Thank you for providing such an array of wonderful fabrics. Please keep me on your fabric e-mails liist.

Emma One Sock is hands down my favorite online fabric resource and has been for 15+ years. I can't imagine how owner Linda Podietz could improve upon what she's built, she's a whiz at knowing how to keep her customers happy! The fabrics she offers run from the whimsical to the luxurious and everything in between, her eye for quality in every aspect of a given fabric always spot-on. The fabric descriptions are so helpful, so well thought out and accurate, and she references Pantone for every posting - I love this! Shopping for fabric is a breeze with her system of categorizing by type, by color. It's a dream to plan projects. As I'm typing this I am thinking of all the other areas of her website which deserve being mentioned for the amount of detail and consideration put into each section but this review would become too lengthy, so please, try to spend a few minutes to take a look around. I promise that you will wish you had more time to spend visiting EOS, it's that good, informative and inspiring! Check out the fabric search feature, her various sales, her DAILY NEW offerings (EOS is an active site daily, M-F!), the gallery for inspiration. There is a fabulous feature called "my fabrics" which lists every purchase you've made and includes a very detailed paragraph about all the aspects and uses, color references, etc., of your fabric. I can still look back to my purchases from 2008! So much more, really. There is a lot to see and it's all top-notch. This review won't be complete until I mention Linda's wonderful and talented staff. Linda is a hands-on and available business owner. Her staff? Well, they have taken Linda's vision for EOS and they carry it out with every communication and every order. They seem like a great team and they get it right. Expect to feel like it's your birthday when your package arrives - everything couldn't be more perfectly wrapped and handled with care. It truly is one of those details that separates EOS from the rest and just another detail that makes shopping at EOS such a pleasure for me.
Carol, Bedford, MA [April, 2023]
There are so many positive reasons to order fabric from Emmaonesock. First, the fabric quality always exceeds my expectations. Second, the suggested coordinates displayed next to the fabrics is very helpful. Third, the website is very easy to navigate. Finally, the free samples have been crucial for coordinating fabrics I already have in my stash. In fact, I keep samples of fabrics you consistently carry, so I can refer to them without ordering more.
Brenda Van M., Cambridge Springs, PA [March, 2023]
Just a quick note today thank you. I'm always amazed at how quickly you get orders prepared and shipped! I stress-ordered (!) fabric on Tuesday night and here it is in my hands on Friday. It's so lovely, and beautiful quality as well. Thanks for everything you do.
Joanne, Seattle, WA [January, 2023]
Received my shipment of beautiful fabrics from you this a.m. Very pleased with such speedy service and the magnificent quality!!!!!!
Marianne S., York, PA [September, 2022]
WOW! I just received THE most gorgeous viscose on the planet. I appreciate that it was torn rather than cut. Usually I prewash viscose, but not THIS one! It has the feel and sheen of fine silk. Also, there is no finer cotton printed knits than those from The Netherlands. Thank you!
Kathryn L., Sun Lakes, AZ [July, 2022]
Hello, Just received my order, a full day earlier than expected! Wow!! Thank you so much for always wrapping my fabrics with such care. Every time I open a box it makes me feel so valued as a customer. These fabrics are beautiful, I am beyond excited to plan and sew them up!! Thank you again so much!
Paula, Henderson, NV [November, 2021]
I have enjoyed looking at and buying fabrics from your website for a number of years. Thank you so much for being a fabulous source of quality fabrics (that are actually useful!). By that I mean quality hybrid fabrics that function in everyday life. Silk and wool are great, but as I get older, I find that the polyester component is what I look for in easy to care for fabrics. You deliver in spades! Thank you so much! You are my guilty pleasure!
Christina O., L.A., CA [July, 2021]
Hi Linda, I just ordered a swatch of 80712. I collect vintage Japanese fabrics and love to see kimono fabric design reflected so well in modern fabric. Today, I received my latest order. I have to say that everything I have purchase from your shop has been just wonderful. I don't know how you curate the collection, but it is just beautiful. My only problem is time and not wanting to cut into the fabric until I come up with a design that does it justice. Thank you.
Terryl S., Brooklyn, NY [March, 2021]
I never fail to be thrilled by the fabrics I purchase from you. Everything is gorgeous, beautifully packaged and carefully cut, and your customer service is prompt and courteous. Thank you for all that you do.
Tammy D., Saint Charles, IL [March, 2021]
Oh. My. Goodness! My package arrived today and every item was even lovelier than I imagined. Thank you for searching out deadstock and keeping such lovelies out of the landfill, and for all the work you do to describe the goods accurately and offer spot-on suggestions for use. I can't wait to use these! Wishing you all health and good fortune,
Elaine K., Fitchburg, WI [March, 2021]
Hi Linda, I received my latest order yesterday and I wanted to let you know that each parcel I get from EOS is even better than the last! It was so nice to get it on a snowy February morning. One of the features I really appreciate is the My Fabrics. It allows me to coordinate my ideas without having to hunt for the fabric in my much-too-large stash. Thank you for the wonderful quality and great customer service too. Regards,
Laura D., Ottawa, ON [March, 2021]
Hello Ms. Podietz, I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am with my last order. The quality of the fabrics is so much better than what I find in even the nicest department stores lately. Thank you for providing such wonderful materials for sewists! Appreciatively,
Jael L., Erie, PA [March, 2021]
Hi Linda, Just a brief note to thank you and your staff for the lovely way purchases are packaged. It makes such a difference to receive nicely folded yardage that you can tell was packaged with care. This weekend I received my EOS order and ... the care that your staff takes with preparing an order is noticed greatly appreciated by me.
Bernadette O., Kent, WA [February, 2021]
Dear Linda, I'm going on record as saying that you guys have the best fabric ever. The quality of your fabrics is outstanding and I so appreciate that you provide free swatching. Customer service is A+++!
Susan G., Raleigh, NC [February, 2021]
Linda, I just wanted to let you know that my latest order arrived in superb condition and my newest fabrics are elegant additions to my collection. I have an entire outfit planned for them and will get to work with them soon... As an aside, I also wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the presentation of your fabrics when they reach me. So perfect. Please let Carrie know that I want to learn to fold fabrics like her when I grow up! I've been around the sewing world for many decades and have had special insights and opportunities to shop for fabrics in person around the world and meet/know/befriend dozens of the industry's leading educators and suppliers. Linda, you, your online shop and your customer service shine brightly among them. Keep it up and I'll keep shopping with you!
Annie J., Pagosa Springs, CO [January, 2021]
Just want to let you know that you are my favourite (Canadian spelling) online store. This beautifully designed site is the first one I go to, after the Globe and Mail, every weekday morning. Wonderful selections and great customer service. Keep up the good work. All the very best to you and your staff in 2021. Thanks and Hugs
Liv, Brentwood Bay (Victoria) BC, Canada [January, 2021]
Hello Linda, Thank you very much for the beautiful high quality fabric. I received the swatches and fabric in a timely manner. The fabrics looked exactly as portrayed on the website and were carefully/neatly wrapped and tagged! EOS is now my first go to for apparel fabrics. Thanks again. Kind regards,
Beth F., Fontana, CA [September, 2020]
Hi Emma One Sock Team! I wanted to thank you for the thoroughness of your fabric descriptions. The photos, fiber content, size of print gauge, coordinating fabric choices, fabric care, garment suggestions, opacity, are so helpful. Looking at other online fabric resources, theirs just cannot compare to yours. I recently saw a fabric I'd gotten from you on another website. Same fabric, very different description & fiber content. Plus, it was more money! So thank you for all the diligence you put into making your site my go to for knowing exactly what I'm getting! Hats off to you!
Lisa F., Santa Cruz, CA [July, 2020]
[During Covid-19 pandemic]: Hello Team, Opening my package of beautiful textiles today took me out of the utter frustration of being cooped up inside to delving into a wonderful place of imagination. I know I can't be alone in my appreciation of the great care taken to cut/tear on grain, never short and to fold and pack lovingly. Thank you so very much for your attention to detail and for being a vendor we can count on. You are a "cut above"(and the woefully awful pun is intended).
Pamela W., Redondo Beach, CA [March, 2020]
Hello Linda, ...I am an avid reader of your shop's tutorials, and a fan of Kathryn Brenne. Your mail [announcing a new Kathryn Brenne tutorial] is a welcome treat for a frosty Sunday morning. And since I'm here at the keyboard, I have to tell you that I look at the EmmaOneSock site every day when I open my laptop. Although I love sewing, I don't have as much time for it as I would like. The chance simply to look at new fabrics, to read your descriptions, and to muse about what I might do with them . . . sometime . . . has been a little kick of joy in my days for years. So today, on the winter solstice, I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and your lovely shop and wishing you the coziest of holidays, and happiness, contentment, good health, and prosperity in the new year. All the best,
Nance H., Westbrook, CT [December, 2019]
Hi Linda, Wanted to share my thoughts about the wonderful tutorials and guides you provide to everyone. Each time you mention a new tutorial is about to be published I get excited and wait in anticipation of what new techniques I will learn! I spend hours reading and re-reading each step Kathryn Brenne has documented, hoping I can somehow become half as good as Kathryn! The images are superior and extremely helpful to a visual thinker like myself! And, in some cases these tutorials have introduced me to fabric I was not familiar with. The tutorials have inspired me to purchase some of the unfamiliar fabrics: Mud Silk, Matte Hybrid, Guipure Lace and Embroidered Mesh. The felting and serger techniques Kathryn used on the Transitional Topper are fascinating... Additionally, I never sit down to sew a new project without first reading the Sewing Guides by Shannon Gifford. Knowing the correct sewing machine needle, correct stitch length, how to prepare the fabric, etc. is timeless. Even though the information may seem old, most of it is still timely. I pass along the information and your website to everyone I know who is a sewer, as there isn’t anything on the internet as rich in information as what you share! And, it goes without saying, no-one can compare to you in terms of the quality fabric you provide along with the information you include with each piece!!! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for those of us who love to sew!!! Have a Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year. (I will be celebrating Christmas with a new Baby Lock coverstitch machine. :) Regards,
Karen, La Verne, CA [December, 2019]
Linda, I have been a customer for 10 years now and each year your curation of current fabrics gets better and better. My latest order just arrived and I am thrilled with the quality of your fabrics. I am supposed to be on a fabric diet but you caused me to fall off the wagon... Thank you for bringing me great fabrics at a reasonable price. While I no longer sew to save money, I appreciate you keeping your prices affordable... If would love to attend a class with Kathryn Brenne...
Dell E., Fort Worth, TX [August, 2019]
Hi Linda, I just can't resist telling you AGAIN how much I trust and value EmmaOneSock. I feel I am getting the best quality fabric, with your great customer service, none better, the best possible shipping rates to Canada, I can go on and on and on. I really appreciate all you do. Thank you so much, Sincerely, your fan,
Kathy F., Nova Scotia [August, 2019]
Linda, I purchased the matte hybrid fabric to make some pants months ago and just made them. I studied the tutorial, Test Drive a Matte Hybrid by Kathryn Brenne, as I made them. It was well written, detailed enough and made the absolute difference in making these pants look great. Thank you for your quality fabric and website.
Judy S., Pengrove, CA [January, 2019]
Hi Linda, I've been a loyal customer for a while now and I wanted you to have the benefit of my feedback. First, the quality of the fabric is wonderful. I don't have good options in my area, so I really appreciate that I can trust you to provide great things that look and feel like I always hope they will. Next, I want you to know that your shipping team is amazing. They seem to fill my orders lightening fast. ....And, finally, the fabrics are always packaged with care....I really appreciate all that you do and how well you're all doing it. Kind regards,
Debera M., Mesa, AZ [November, 2018]
Hi Linda, I open your site and I am just amazed at the treasures that are there. Your eye for fabric is spectacular. Obviously your family has a gift for the artistic as I have also enjoyed the postings of your niece's art work. I have never received a piece of fabric that I am not thrilled with. Some days I unwrap them and just enjoy their beauty. (I don't always know what I will do with a piece of fabric, but it eventually speaks to me.) I opened your website today and without a doubt there are 5 or 6 pieces I want but I have a cart full already and I'm sure I will leave this earth before I will ever have it all sewn up. LOL I know you work hard and I want you to know how much I appreciate having a place to purchase quality fabric. Sincerely,
Pat D., Manitoba [October, 2018]
Linda, I received my order today, first one from your company, and am absolutely thrilled. Anita packed it beautifully, the fabrics are sooo much more gorgeous than the website photos could show, and I am now hooked on your designer fabrics. I love the website...best one out there for descriptions, photos, true colors, and coordinating fabrics. And now I know your shipping is fast and efficient. Thank you.
Meredith V., USA [July, 2018]
You Are the BEST.... Not only are your swatches free, but they arrived in 4-5 days time. AND... I was planning on only one or two fabrics- but I like all 4 fabrics that I ordered a swatch for!!! Now I have budget problems.... I am finishing a garment with the beautiful embroidered flowers on black net that arrived in May, so I will be placing an order for more beautiful fabric. Just wanted to tell you how happy I am with your swatch feature... Have a great day.
Carmil M., Lakeside Park, KY [June, 2018]
I love Emma One Sock! Fabric is of high quality.....and the available tutorials are invaluable. I have learned more about how to sew various fabrics.... the information has allowed me to step way out of my established comfort zone and into more challenging fabrics such as lightweight wovens, crepe de chine, Japanese cotton to name a few....
Susan F., Evansville, IN [April, 2018]
Hi Linda, Just a quick note to say these three things: Thanks for all of your recent help, the fabric is fabulous, and the website is wonderful. Easy to use, easy to see all fabrics. Have a good day,
Mary B., Cle Elum, WA[April, 2018]
Please don’t ever stop selling the RPL bottom weight gabardine. I have made pants out of this fabric and they are the best pants I have ever had. Thank you for selling this fabric!
Pam B., Fullerton, CA 92833 [January, 2018]
Dear Linda, You are so wonderful to work with. Your website is easy to work through, your selection is large, you send fabric samples for free and you respond quickly to online questions. Thank you!
Jeanne L., Mechanicsville, PA [December, 2017]
I make my own clothes and buy most of my fabric from EmmaOneSock. The fabric is always of the highest quality, well-prepared for shipping and exactly what I expect based on the description. People have sometimes stopped me while shopping to ask where they can buy my clothes! I recently bought Sp1endid 'cashmere cotton' rib knit. The fabric cuts and sews beautifully and is perfect for our Florida weather. Thank you!
Carol H., Sarasota, FL [May, 2017]
My goodness! The current array of fabrics displayed under your "this just in" tab is nothing short of gorgeous! I could easily order, by my count, nine of them, without so much as a second thought! At any given moment, I would typically have nine fabrics on my personal wish-list from throughout your entire store, but I can't think of another time when I have coveted so many offerings from a single page! Obviously, I am going to have to make some hard choices, but, I wanted to express my appreciative perspective that, with your recent collection of new arrivals, you have completely outdone yourself!!
Michelle R., Calgary, AB [February, 2017]
I'm sure you actually receive a number of nice emails. That being said, I'm always amazed at how quickly I receive my orders, and most of the time, the pictures just don't do the fabric justice. They're just gorgeous. Thank you!
Rory, Denver, CO [January, 2017]
Hi Linda, I just had to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done to decrease your shipping rates to Canada. It makes a real difference to me as to whether I can afford to buy fabric. Particularly as I have Canadian dollars. At times I swear your shipping rates are cheaper than if I had the fabric shipped from a Canadian address. Thank you so much AGAIN for all you do. Your fan,
K.F., Nova Scotia [July, 2016]
I just received my order of t-shirt jersey. As usual, they are the colors I wanted and very nice quality. I really appreciate the variety of colors you carry. I wear "fall" colors and you have a good variety, unlike many other places. Also, I like that you list the Pantone colors so I have an accurate idea of what the colors really are. Thank you for making my fabric shopping easy. Sincerely,
A satisfied Iowa customer [July, 2016]
Hi Linda, I just wanted to send a quick email to let you know what a pleasure it is to order from EOS. Aside from the big chain stores, we do not have any fabric stores that carry fabrics for apparel in my area; so, I do the majority of my shopping online, often with mixed results. However, when I order from EOS I always know that beautiful fabrics are on their way. The descriptions that you provide are outstanding; I know that I can trust that what I am ordering will arrive just as described. The photos that you post, with the variety of views (especially on the dress form), are also very helpful. The customer service is always great, the payment process is quick and easy, and the confirmation and tracking emails are terrific too (I know just where I am in the order/shipping process). The fabrics that you carry are absolutely beautiful and the quality is terrific. I have been consistently impressed with each order that I have placed, and am always thrilled with the fabrics that I receive. I just wanted to let you know that it is a pleasure ordering from EOS, every time!
Sandi R., Collierville, TN [April, 2016]
Comment re: Kathryn Brenne: Tweed-Boucle French Jacket Tutorial: Linda, You and Kathryn have provided a clear concise tutorial on the above subject. In-fact, one of if not 'the best' free online tutorial on this subject. Having read countless sources on the topic of The Chanel Jacket, this tutorial served to add to much-needed insight and clarity. Thank you so very much for all you do for the sewing world, especially home sewist. Again, I thank you for your and Kathryn's contribution's and willingness to share your product and knowledge.
Wanda S., Xenia, OH [April, 2016]
Hi Linda, Just a line to tell you how helpful your descriptions of fabric weight and best use are. Online shopping is great, but it's so frustrating to find a color/design fabric you like, only to find out it's yet another quilting cotton. With your site, I never have to wonder about fiber content or weight. Here in Florida, both are important! You have, I think, the best selection of great fabric. Thanks again,
Jeanne T., Seminole, FL [April, 2016]
Dear Linda, I'm writing to express my complete joy and satisfaction with my most recent order. All the fabrics are exactly as described. Its so nice to have EOS as an online resource. Every time I have ordered I have been thrilled and I thought you might like to know. The lace and sweater knit are both exquisite and I'm especially thrilled with the St. John ponte knits... Thanks again for selling quality fabrics. Best,
Christine G., Los Gatos, CA [January, 2016]
I just want to thank you for your thorough and accurate fabric descriptions. Purchasing fabric over the internet can be a tricky proposition, but you take a lot of the "chance" out of taking a chance! I recently received a shipment, and am pleased to report that every single thing was what I was expecting; there were no surprises or disappointments. This has consistently been my experience with your products. So again, thanks.
Cheryl B., Windsor, Ontario [October, 2015]
Thanks, once again, for your super service. My order arrived yesterday, much more quickly than I expected. Also, I really appreciate the time it must take you to match your fabrics to the Pantone guide. It is a fabulous service that I appreciate. All of the fabrics I ordered are exactly the colour I thought they would be and as a result they match my current wardrobe very well. There are never any nasty surprises in the colours. In addition, the quality of your fabrics is superlative. Your website is the only place I order fabric....Thanks again,
A customer from BC, Canada [September, 2015]
I was amazed when I opened Kathryn Brenne's tutorial on the making of a classic cardigan jacket (ala Chanel). Where else can one get such detailed instruction along with professional tips to help one do a beautifully finished job? I have been wanting to do a Chanel-style jacket for years so this is a wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much for making this available at no charge.
Elaine F., Sykesville, MD [June, 2015]
Dear Linda, The fabric arrived today, and I would like to let you know that I am absolutely over the moon about it. Love, love , love the quality and will most definitely buy from you again. Your delighted customer,
Manuela in Hong Kong [June, 2015]
Hi Linda, Today I received the mallard linen and the gray linen. Oh my goodness! The fabric is so incredibly beautiful. Thanks for your great customer service and your beautiful fabrics.
Paula, Lopez Island, WA [May, 2015]
Hi Linda, I just received the Theory silk fabric (plus the organza and knit). Firstly, how is that even possible, it seems like I just paid the other day! Secondly, the fabric is so gorgeous I'm almost afraid to touch it! No picture online can do it justice! Just want to say thank you! You really make it hard to do some fabric fasting. I'm glad I gave up something else for Lent:)
Maria, Clayton, MO [March, 2015]
I just received your order, and I am delighted with the fabrics. The embroidered wool is amazing. I will order more samples, as I find that good fashion fabrics are difficult to find these days, now that RTW is so cheap. It's great to find a dependable mail order source. And it came in 4 days, even by regular mail! Thanks,
Jackie, Newfoundland, Canada [March, 2015]
Hi Linda, just letting you know my latest order arrived today. Faaabulous!!! SO gorgeous, amazing quality, especially the ponte, the photo-realism print neoprene and the diamond-knit. Incredible. Thank you for the fantastic fabric and service. Beautifully yet practically packed and presented = Perfecto! Appreciation to Anita for her work. Best,
Shauna C., Victoria, Australia [March, 2015]
Today I received the package of my most recent purchase and felt I must share with you what a delight it is every time I open the box. I am always so pleased with each piece of beautiful fabric thanks to the description you have given, the photos and suggestions you have made for the type of garments suited to each fabric. It is not easy to purchase fabric without seeing and touching but you have eliminated much of the guesswork and I am seldom surprised with my selection. And it is packaged so nicely too! Thank you for your attention to the details.
Elizabeth H., Nixa, MO [March, 2015]
Dear Linda, I have been thoroughly enjoying my fabric purchases since discovering Emma One Sock. Your selections are gorgeous and I only wish you carried more. Keep up the good work! Best,
Shirley S., Bellevue, WA [November, 2014]
Dear Linda, Thank you so much for taking the time to suggest Pantone equivalents for all of your abrics. It makes fabric selection much easier. Before choosing the fabrics for my recent order I was able to see the colours of your fabrics and consequently my garments will co-ordinate with items I already have. Thanks also for carrying such high quality fabrics. They are a joy to sew.
A customer in Vancouver, BC [October, 2014]
Hi Linda, Just wanted to let you know that my purchase was worth the wait! I love the fabric and absolutely love the look and feel of the faux leather. Thank you for giving such fabulous choices in fabric. Best Regards,
Debra Nichols, ASJ CustomApparel, Cedar Rapids, IA [October, 2014]
Hi Linda, I have been meaning to tell you for ages that I think your website is the best, the very best! So well organized with new listings, color categories, fabric type categories, search categories by number and by fabric properties. Being able to check recent searches is so helpful and the tutorials add great dimension and assistance. Everything is so easily navigatable. I only wish other websites were as good. I recently needed to purchase some .... for a US friend and nearly lost my mind. Over half an hour for one small purchase! Anyway, thanks for an awesome site and fabulous product.
Anonymous, Ontario, Canada [July, 2014]
Thanks for the quickest delivery ever, considering you are in the US and I am in Finland. The fabric with its digitally printed giant flowers is so delicious I could almost eat it. It arrived just in time for a weekend sewing project.
I.V., Finland [May, 2014]
Good morning Linda, Just dropping you a quick note to let you know my order arrived safely yesterday. I must say, it was a real pleasure to unwrap such carefully packaged yard goods. You obviously take great care to ensure your fabrics arrive at their destination in the best shape possible. I was also very pleasantly surprised to see that the colours of the fabrics were virtually identical to the photos on your web site. I don't know who does your photography but they are very, very good. Thanks again!
Virginia B., Ontario [May, 2014]
Hi Linda, Just received my fabric. Well! I wish I had at least a bolt! It is FABULOUS. [black matte hybrid #26841] I love the designs of Madeline Vionnet and have the Japanese publication of the pattern schematics. When I calm down from wrapping myself in the fabric and sleeping with it, I'll make one of those elegant dresses to showcase the beauty of the fabric.
Shermane F., Mason, MI [April, 2014]
Hi Linda, ...I just wanted to write and let you know that all of the fabric is AMAZING and everything is LOVED!!! Truly, every piece is more delicious in person. The Oscar double boucle is amazing. The diamond quilted I will use to make a vest and will line with a charmeuse. I am so glad to have gotten the J. Mendel after staring at it all season. It also is so much more beautiful in hand. Will be perfect for a dress. The goatskin and lambskin are truly gasp-worthy gorgeous! So gorgeous that There Will Be a Long Pause and much checking and re-checking when it comes time to cut. The goatskin texture reminds me of that I've seen on Herme$ bags and the lambskin is so soft and smooth. Perfect for making gloves, or slippers. For now, they will be cure-ing on the sewing room floor. I am so glad that you are offering these now....Best regards,
Priscilla, Chesapeake, VA [April, 2014]
Can't stop looking at EOS...Linda your fabrics are FABULOUS. I discovered your site 3 weeks ago and my only regret is that I was not aware of Emma One Sock sooner. Last week I received 3 different fabrics (each neatly fold in a bag) and this week I have 2 new cute tops. I am French (but live in SC) and guess what my hobby is??? I have to say it one more time: BRAVO Linda!
Janette M., SC [March, 2014]
Wow, I must hand it to you for great customer service - this was the first time I have ordered from emmaonesock - but not the first mail order experience I have had from the east coast. Hands down that was the quickest I have received an order. Using the USPS Priority Mail service as you have done is a brilliant way to get things to the west coast quickly. Generally I have had to resign myself to seeing things from the east coast show up in 7 to 14 days. I received my order from you yesterday and was thrilled with both the fabric and the timing. I'm a convert - you'll be seeing more orders from me! Thank you so much!!!
Melisa W., Clearlake, CA [February, 2014]
Dear Linda, Just want to drop a line and say that I have finally received my EOS fabrics. The ... addressee for my orders in the USA has just brought them to me in Kazakhstan. And now that I can see and touch the fabrics, let me say that I enjoy their quality so much and that the quality of service is supreme! It was so intriguing to see all these wrapping and packaging details. I’m not accustomed to such a good service and let me thank you for your attitude to your clients and the unique chance for me to become one of your customers...Tatiana C., Kazakhstan [December, 2013]
Love the new sewing articles. You really have an exceptional web-site. I refer to your sewing guides often...so glad I've discovered your store. Thanks for the great selections!
Judy E., Tulsa, OK [September, 2013]
Hi Linda, I've just opened my latest order and I'm completely amazed. Every order contains at least a couple of fabrics that I've underestimated but this time every one of the ten items surpasses my expectations for beauty and hand!!!! Is this LOVE ?
Kathie F., Beausejour, Manitoba, Canada [August, 2013]
Hi Linda,
... what I really wanted to say with this email is thank you for some stunning fabrics in the box that arrived a few minutes ago. I am moved to send a thank you message!! The Caroline Herrera green/black jacket weight is stunning; the photographs don't do this justice... I'm sure if people could have seen this fabric in real life it would have run out the door. The gold silk organza cloque is divine; the remnant photo-realistic trees charmeuse is divine; the rest of the fabrics in the box are divine. I'm looking at them all spread out at my desk next to me and marvel at the exceptional taste and choices you make...and the choices I make too! So I thought that was worth saying...
Best,
Liz L., Fullarton, South Australia [July, 2013]
I received my order yesterday and want to thank you for the wonderful work you and your staff are doing. The fabric is gorgeous. I'll have a few unusual occasions this year for which I'm already preparing fashionwise and this fabric will be awesome for what I have in mind.
Thank you so much and all the best!
Danuta D., Warsaw, Poland [February, 2013]
Hi Linda, I just wanted you to know that my fabrics arrived today. I am speechless! Not only because I have the flu :( but because the fabrics are so stunning! Even better than the swatches you sent and those were impressive! I could feel your love and passion for the fabrics you sell by the way that you carefully packaged them and the presentation was the best gift ever! Thank you so much :) Because of where I now live, I have to order fabrics online because the local fabric store's selection is sub par. Having lived on the west coast with easy access to Los Angeles Garment District, it was really a shock to be transplanted to an area where there is NO selection for my business and personal fabric choices. Even though this was my first order from you, please be assured that it won't be my last. I have my eye on a few more fabrics so I'm hoping to afford them before they're sold out.
Thank you again for your wonderful and unique fabrics, fast shipping and for your passion for beautiful things. I'm looking forward to creating beautiful garments from these fabrics and also ordering from you again in the near future.
My best wishes to you and Happy Sewing!
Mary R., Hot Springs, Arkansas [January, 2013]
Linda, I love your new search option !!! I like to label the fiber content of my fabrics. Most of the fabrics in my order that arrived today are no longer available, but typing the fabric # into the search brought up the listing. Wonderful !
Kathie F., Beausejour, Manitoba, Canada [December, 2012]
Hi Linda ... Wow!!! First, wonderful service. Second, the black knit you just sent is so much more in quality than I anticipated. I can't wait to sew with it. All I have to do now is resist purchasing the white!
Best,
Louise E., Newcastle, WA [September, 2012]
Hi Linda, Just wanted to say I received my fabrics and once again am so impressed with the quality. They inspire me every time I receive them.
Thank you so much!
Wendy N., Queensland, Australia [August, 2012]
Hi, Linda, After a rather frustrating day in the retail world it was such a pleasure returning home and finding your package waiting for me. I really, really, really appreciate your wonderful customer service and excellent products. I never hesitate to order from you and am always thrilled with the results.
THANK YOU!!
Karen V., CLEVELAND, TN [August, 2012]
Hello Linda, I felt compelled to add to your long list of glowing testimonials today after receiving my 'gorzwha' package of beautiful fabric in record time. Developing a trusting relationship between a customer and vendor is a long lost practice but I feel as though you are one of that dying breed. I placed my order the day before yesterday and...received my package today...The fabric is lovely, the colors of the new knits just divine, and I cannot wait to design something new and over the top with the cotton voile with metallic threads. I appreciate knowing that whatever fabric I choose to order will be of high quality, stunning, wrapped with care, and shipped quickly. Now if I could quit looking at your site and get to the business of creating, all would be well!
MANY THANKS,
Pamela W., Lewis Center, OH [May, 2012]
Hi Linda, I was thinking about what it is I like so much about EmmaOneSock. I have been monitoring your site for many years and when I began it was because I had no other options for finding fabric in my isolated arctic town. Then I moved to Rome for two full years between 2009 and 2011. I realize now that I didn't purchase nearly the amount of fabric when I was in Rome that I do now that I'm back in my little arctic town. There I had plenty of choice; in fact, much of what you offer is Italian. I did love to wander through the fabric shops in Rome but I found it all quite overwhelming. I like to be able to check out EmmaOneSock from home, read your descriptions and dream about projects that I can make. You're very good at describing the possibilities - and that's where the fun is in it for me. That, along with the lovely packaging that makes the fabric such a delight to open when it gets to my home. It's all very satisfying!
Thank you.
Lynn P., Iqaluit, Canada [April, 2012]
Hi, Linda! The UPS guy brought my box of lovely fabrics today. I was pretty much totally stressed until I opened them, took delight in the visual loveliness of them and them stroked them for the sensual loveliness of them. There's nothing like touching beautiful fabrics to put your stresses in perspective. It's like a drug - only legal! (I'm only guessing on that. I'm not a druggy).
Thanks so much for my current peace of mind!
Joyce H., Bridgeton, MO [April, 2012]
Hi, Linda. I received the package yesterday. The fabric is so beautiful and I appreciate how nicely it was packaged. I just love your site, how you really describe the fabrics so well and suggest their use. I was worried ordering fabric online for the first time but now I know that I'll be happy with anything I order from you.
Thank you so much and I look forward from ordering from you again once this project is done!
Jackie G., Media, PA [February, 2012]
Just like to say, that since I've been shopping with you, your fabric selection has significantly expanded, offering the afficianado unrivalled temptation and choices, yet at affordable prices.
Thank you for brightening up my world and wardrobe!
Jane B., St Saviours, Guernsey, CI [January, 2012]
Linda, I just received my order and I want you to know how much I appreciate the quality of the fabrics you order. Yum! Thank you for offering me an alternative to [name deleted] or driving two hours to a decent fabric store.
Judy S., Penngrove CA [January, 2012]
Hi Linda: I am so delighted with all of the fabrics in this most recent shipment that I wanted to express my appreciation. In particular, the floral silk jacquard...is absolutely stunning...I think it will make a spectacular gown. The red/mocha Italian wool boucle is extraordinary -- such loft, a soft hand, interesting weave, and obvious quality...Then, there is the purple/gold wool-lurex plaid, which is so pretty, and terrific quality at an almost indecent price. The red/gray/white basket weave wool is unusual and classy...Last, but not least --the gray floral semi-sheer double silk: It will either be a lovely cocktail dress OR- combined with the antique silver silk plisse for a stunningly sophisticated draped gown.
Your finds continue to amaze me...My little custom couture business is truly a niche-market entity that could only exist in a few locales around the country. The ability to entice clients with unique designer fabrics...is a very special aspect of both the business and the pleasure I derive from it.
With huge thanks and warm regards,
Ellen W., Woodside, CA [September,2011]
Hi Linda, Just want to thank you for always providing such superb customer service! I just received my latest order and I was blown away not only by the speed of delivery but by the quality of the fabric! I love it. I just placed another order from one of your newest additions. I am acquiring more fabrics than I can sew now. Anyway, keep up the good work... Maria
Maria Y., Clayton, MO [August, 2011]
Dear Linda, It's always a delight to receive a package from you. I know it will be like the picture or even better! I love looking through EOS and finding something new and wonderful. The only time I'm disappointed is when I don't order soon enough and the fabric is SOLD OUT!
Deborah B., Minneapolis, MN [June,2011]
Fabric's just arrived, quicker than I had expected and as always is just what I wanted. The trouble you take to photograph both close up and further away, which...gives the customer a real understanding of the pattern and drape, coupled with your careful description and Pantone colours, enable me to buy with complete confidence...
Jane, Channel Islands, UK [June,2011]
Dear Linda, I just received my last package from Emma One Sock. Again I am overwhelmed by the beauty and quality of those three designer fabrics. The feel, the look, the texture, all is there to create the most beautiful clothes. Thank you for your excellent service and merchandise. Long life to Emma One Sock. Regards,
Anne-Marie, Montreal [April, 2011]
...I really wanted to tell you how impressed I am at your service and the quality of your website and, of course, fabrics. I have referred all my sewing friends to your site and they are all regular voyeurs and occasional buyers. Thanks,
Deborah from Canada [March,2011]
Linda, you are truly a marvel! I love the name's significance! What you do is incredibly wonderful from the words to the photos to the vigilance of managing such a web site to share your eye! I appreciate your efforts!
Elaine S., Denver, CO [March,2011]
Linda, Every time I get a box of fabrics from you, it's a joyfully sublime experience. When I open it, I'm overwhelmed by the burst of incredible colors, stunning textures, and spectacular graphics. Each piece beautifully wrapped in tissue, and each one a gorgeous treasure. I can't thank you enough for all the work you do combing the world for lovely and unusual fabrics that would never be available to home sewists otherwise. Your incredible efforts and exquisite service spread around so much happiness. Bless you, bless you, bless you.
Cindy C., Hartsdale, NY [December,2010]
I just want to tell you that your choices of fabrics are wonderful. You have a wide-ranging taste, all of it good. What an eye! And what fun you must have hunting for all those fabrics!...Thanks for doing this business---there are so few fabric stores left. Where once we had half a dozen, we now have only a craft store which sells quilting fabrics. So on-line stores are about all that's left unless you are in a very large city. Keep up the great work!
Beth W., Santa Barbara, CA [September, 2010]
Linda, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the effort you put into supplying your website and the care with which you photograph those fabrics. My most recent order arrived today and, as always, it is fabulous! I have never been disappointed in anything I have ordered from you, if anything I'm even more pleased than I expect to be. Each piece becomes a favorite! Thank you for giving those of us with limited shopping time access to consistently beautiful fabrics in a way that fits our lives.
Elizabeth, Kenosha, WI [July, 2010]
Linda, thanks for having amazing fabrics, great communication and your easy policies! I enjoy each shipment as if it were Christmas morning as a child. So addicted to your site, guilt free! They are just so good there is no room for the guilt.
Alexis K., Hingham, MA [May,2010]
Linda: I received my box of fabric from your store and I am so pleased with what I received!!! The extra touches of layering the paper in between the fabric and then individually wrapping each fabric in plastic needs no words....I LOVE the fabric and will be buying more in the future. Thank you so much for your wonderful fabric store. No more [name of store] for me. I've found where I want to be.... What is soooo nice about doing business with you is that I know whatever I receive will be of the highest quality.
Paula I., Pittsburgh, PA [March, 2010]
Dear Linda, My parcel has just arrived and each fabric is FABULOUS. Thank you so much yet again. Every time I buy from you my joy quotient soars. Best wishes,
Salwah K., Australia [September, 2009]
Linda, I have been meaning to write to you for some time to thank you for your wonderful web-shop. It is with much excitement that I open your packages when they arrive in the post. The fabrics are always of such a good quality and unique and good value for money, even with the postage to New Zealand. I get a lot of lovely comments on the clothes that I make from your fabrics. You certainly have a great eye for picking fabric. I enjoy my daily browse of Emma One Sock. Keep up the good work. Thank you,
Bev C., New Zealand [August, 2009]
Linda, you do NOT disappoint!!! The sweater fabric arrived and is terrific. I live in a 'fine fabric starved' area and finding you has just been wonderful. I am headed to a class reunion in September and this will really make my wardrobe extra special. Thanks so much for all your searching efforts, believe me, there are those of us out here who sing your praises regularly!
Karleene S., Ames, IA [July, 2009]
I just wanted to let you know that my order arrived today and it is fabulous. I have only ordered from you twice but both times the fabric has been amazing and such a wonderful price for the quality. You have such a good eye! I can hardly wait for the weekend so I can start sewing! Thank you -
Mary B., Portland, OR [May, 2009]
Linda, I don't know what to say. My order arrived this morning and it was like opening a box of beautiful presents! You fold and wrap the fabrics with such care and creativity. The fabrics would stand on their own simply because they are so amazingly gorgeous, but your special touch makes receiving them very, very special. This, coupled with your extremely high level of responsiveness to my hundreds of questions ;-) have made this one of the very best shopping experiences I've ever had -- I can't even think of a better one! Thank you so, so much. Count on me for more orders and to send your link to everyone I know who loves fabrics. Very best regards,
Aleta T., Pennington, NJ [March, 2009]
Hi Linda, Just a quick note to let you know I received the Italian wool/mohair fabric order today,and it has far surpassed my expectations! What an exquisite piece!! I know that the jacket I am planning is going to be a knockout that will look like a high end designer garment (I just have to do my job in front of the sewing machine too!). Thank you so much!, and of course, great appreciation for the care you take in packaging fabric purchases for shipping. Best regards,
Peggy M., Ontario, Canada [February, 2009]
Hi Linda, Just letting you know that my fabric has arrived and I am delighted with the quality - I know it may seem odd that I am excited about plain cream fabric when you have so many amazing fabrics on your website- but it is the quality that I am delighted about. I also loved the tissue paper in the wrapping - a special touch that to my 'shopping experience'!!!!! Thanks again for your wonderful and personal service, Kind regards,
Pam S., Western Australia [November, 2008]
Hi Linda - That beautiful coat fabric came yesterday. And the Navy wool lace. Oh they are sooo stunning. I wish I could tell you somehow how much pleasure they bring. The little mohair loops on the unbrushed side of the wool mohair plaid looks look like snowflakes. I LOVE THOSE COLORS. I have never seen anything like the Perry Ellis lace. The mesh is a KNIT Amazing. It's out of this world....Thank you Linda.
Peggy P., Island Falls, ME [October, 2008]
Dear Linda, Fast and safely, I received all of the fabric I ordered only a few days ago. They are all more beautiful than I imagined them. Cavalli, Prada, Missoni...the quality is excellent. The colors are so rich. My favourite is the Missoni knit. It is almost a shame to cut them. I almost feel like framing them. ;-). I thank you for your remarkable service. Your selection of fabric is extra, extra extraordinary.
Anne-Marie L., Montreal, Canada [September, 2008]
Hi Linda, Just letting you know I got my lovely batch of knits today; as usual they are absolutely gorgeous and the quality is excellent! Just love your choice in fabric, better than any other online seller. Kind regards,
Ingrid L., Australia [August, 2008]
Good morning Linda and Shannon, thank you so much for your soo fast answers and for sharing those tips for applying the pockets to my jeans. By the way, since here in Phoenix there is no store carrying really beautiful fabrics, I receive many compliments and I am very often being asked where I buy my material. Thank you again! Fondly,
Christine B., Phoenix, AZ [July, 2008]
Hi Linda, I wanted you to know how wonderful it is to get my fabric orders from you! You treat my fabric like treasures! I am most appreciative of this, because I buy each item with my imagination, anticipating their beauty. You don't let me down, respecting my fabric as if you could sense the magic of possibilities, and for this alone, I will be a customer of yours for life! Sincerely,
Celeste S., Basin, MT [April, 2008]
Hi Linda, I received my order a few days ago and have been meaning to tell you how much I appreciate your effort. The choice of fabrics is of course fabulous, but the way you press the pieces and fold them...impeccable. So nice to get that kind of personal attention to detail these days. I like that you switched to biodegradable bags, too. I compost them right in my garden. Thank you truly,
Keiko S., Bearsville, NY [April, 2008]
Dear Linda, I occasionally check other fabric sites -- nobody compares to you in terms of taste, nobody compares to you in terms of documentation. I always know what I'm getting when I order from you, and often, the results are even better than promised. I'm so glad I found your business!
Andrew R., Gambier, OH [March, 2008]
..I really think you have THE nicest website and of course fabrics and services available online. I tell many people since we do not have a fabric store within 100 miles (one way so it is so very nice to be able to get such wonderful fabric from you. I especially appreciate that you send swatches so I can 'touch and feel' before I buy! Keep up the great work...Sincerely,
Chris G., Three Lakes, WI [February, 2008]
Linda: I'm very impressed with your business. The website is awesome, and your customer service is top notch. Oh, and I love the fabric I ordered. Thanks!
Lauri S., Logan, UT [January, 2008]
I have only one *problem* with EmmaOneSock and Linda - there are just TOO many beautiful fabrics from which to choose! I have to try to avoid looking at the website too often because once I do, well it's all over - here comes another package of gorgeous fabric lovingly wrapped and delivered expeditiously to my home! It was my lucky day when I first saw a reference to EmmaOneSock. I've enjoyed every minute of our association. I'll keep sewing as fast as I can so that I can purchase more fabric...
Georgiane B., San Fancisco, CA [December, 2007]
Dear Linda,...The package arrived...and as usual, the fabrics that I received were stunning. I am so glad I learned about your website and business. I have never had so much fun buying beautiful fabric. Thank you for providing me such a wonderful source to feed my addiction. From a very satisfied customer,
Carolyn H., Chandler, AZ [November, 2007]
I have never loved a website like I do yours. Not only are the fabrics beautiful, but I really benefit from the sewing guidance. Customer service is great as well. Good job all around!
Elizabeth D., Memphis, TN [October, 2007]
Dear Linda, Your fabrics arrived today and, along with the last order, I can only say that you don't describe your fabrics adequately. They are just too wonderful and more beautiful than expected! My husband says the Ann Klein cashmere is softer than a shaved kitten...Thanks again for your wonderful website and keep bringing on the good stuff. Sincerely,
Janet R., Cooperstown, NY [September, 2007]
Linda, Yesterday, I sewed a Tshirt using your onionskin fabric. I had never sewn with it before and the fabric was a dream to work with! I am also working on an outfit...and my pieces are coming out great. Your products are very high end and I'm very impressed. Not only are the fabrics quality, but your wrapping is wonderful and I appreciate all the contact we have regarding my order/bill. In case you couldn't tell as of yet, you now have a new loyal customer! Many thanks for keeping quality in the sewing world,
Renee C., Centerville, OH [July, 2007]
Linda, You know I don't order kaboodles of fabric just to have them sitting around, but when I do, I always love what I get from you. This fabric was exactly what I was looking for - weight, texture, hand - everything. It is soooo couture. I'll feel like I'm wearing an Oscar de la Renta original. And the swatches - to die for...Now to make up my mind before something sells out. I also appreciate the little touches - putting the tissue paper between the fabric fold, the neat plastic bag with sticker, the receipt and nicely organized swatches - you're a class act! Thank you very much,
Terri K., Ashville, NC [July, 2007]
Hi Linda, I just received the French wool novelty blend and the Italian puckered ombre fabric - beautiful, beautiful fabric! Thank you very much for working so hard to get fabrics like these to your customers. I'm a customer for life!
Ali D., Santa Rosa, CA [June, 2007]
Wow, what great service. Got the fabric last night at 10:00 PM!! I am so pleased with the fabric. The silk is even better than I expected and the jersey you picked to coordinate with it is perfect. I am so happy I found your website. I also want to commend the sewing guides by Shannon, they are perfect as well. Some of the terms of fabrics you list I am not familiar with, so I just go to her guides and they are very clear and easy to understand. The guide on buttermilk worked perfectly the first time I sewed one up! Thanks,
Beth R., Columbus, GA [April, 2007]
Linda- I know you don't need another email. I'm also fairly certain all the accolades you receive begin to sound like white noise after a time, but some things simply must be said. I DID receive my box a bit ago. As well as you photograph fabric and as talented as you are in writing descriptions and selling it, there was nothing that could have prepared me for this box of fabric. The Armani shirting alone left me speechless and that's a tall order! All the Anne Klein fabric is stunning and every European piece is to die for. Thank you thank you for the outstanding job you do in ferreting out these amazing fabrics and making them available to we little home sewers. I just told my husband there are thousands of women who have sewn their entire lives and have never had the luxury of using one piece of fabric of this quality. Thank you thank you. I'm just over the moon! No response necessary. Just had to say it. Regards,
Marian T., Bosque Farms, NM [March, 2007]
Dear Linda; You have won my heart. My first order, I was extremely pleased. My second order, which I received on Friday, I was not merely pleased; I was simply ecstatic. My husband was even impressed. And it is hard to impress him. A belated Happy Birthday, and a Happy Valentine's Day to you. Thank you.
Nancy G., Savannah, GA [February, 2007]
Hi again, Linda, My order arrived on Monday and again I love the fabric. You always have such quality products and your customer service and shipping times are exceptional. Thanks again. Best,Maureen T., West Palm Beach, FL [February, 2007]
Linda: I received my first order the other day and I couldn't be more thrilled! The quality and style of the fabrics is phenomenal...we have no good fabric source here...I am sewing for preteen girls, and it is next to impossible to find cute but age appropriate fabrics for that age group. You will be my main source now! Thanks again ever so much for the great service!
Anne D., Destin, FL [February, 2007]
Dear Linda, I am so ecstatically happy at having found your site. I just got my first order and absolutely LOVE the fabrics. Your customer service is phenomenal, really, I am amazed. My biggest challenge now is to restrain myself from buying daily!!! Thanks for having high-quality products, with top customer care at really great prices. You rock!
Carla L., Colton, CA [December, 2006]
Hi Linda, My first fabric that I ordered from you arrived last night and it is wonderful. Your photographs accurately show what the fabric looks like and your descriptions of the 'hand' of the fabric were absolutely perfect...I am so glad I was told about your site as I have a great deal of difficulty finding special fabrics in our area.
Lynne O., Toronto, Canada [November, 2006]
Hello Linda,Just a quick note to send a belated thank you so much for my fabric which arrived yesterday morning. I'm over the moon with everything I choose because it's just like the pictures, but better! You were quick and very professional in your billing and packaging. I really like the way you display the fabric in two pictures which really helps in seeing the fabric in a sort of 3-d way. I will definately be buying more fabric from you in future.
All the best and many thanks,
Fellee M., Surrey, England [October, 2006]
So, I received my order last night, which is always a thrill. But what constantly amazes me is the high quality of the goods. I don't know if I have low expectations from shopping at my local national fabric store, or if photos just can't do justice to the richness of the fabrics, but wow. I am so pleased. You know, you aren't ever allowed to go out of business.
Ever. It would make me cry. Thanks,
Lisa L., Fort Lauderdale, FL [October, 2006]
Dear Linda, Once again I must tell you how much I love sewing and wearing those Italian cotton knits. I live in them!...These Italian cotton knits wash like a dream, drape like a dream, are stable to cut and sew and are gloriously cool as well.The recently-arrived peacock cut velvet and the brocade are wonderful too. Your website is too seductive entirely...alas, the spirit is weak in the face of such lovely offerings...Now I will look forward to my next batch. My husband just rolls his eyes. Best wishes,
Helen M., Australia [October,2006]
Linda, Thanks for all you put into your web page and the delightful goodies you offer. I am still amazed at the gorgeous pieces you bring out...In addition to my teaching, I am finding out the life of the caretaker!...my little Bernina sits alone and unattended for days while I wait on a convalescing 'sick puppy' husband! BUT, at the end of the day, to enjoy perusing your web page gives so much time for mental creativeness, which for me is the joy of sewing. I love the designing of the fabric and putting fun pieces together. Thanks to you, you are doing more than selling gorgeous fabric....you are saving me money on a psychiatrist's bill! I love your grand efforts...thanks again, Linda.
Guyanne B.,Birmingham, AL [September,2006]
Thank you Linda. I must tell you - after being back in New York for awhile, with access to all the great fabric stores we have here, I still find that the best way to buy fabric is via EmmaOneSock. Your prices are great, your descriptions are enlightening, and your fabric choices are inspired! Thank you for making fabric shopping fun -
Jackie S., New York, NY [August, 2006]
Linda,WOW!!! I just received my first order from you---Wonderful is not enough to say! You definitely have a rare website for fabrics. I am a lifelong customer for sure. Very Sincerely,
MFEMFEM, Hercules, CA [July,2006]
Your website has become my homepage. I try not to miss new offerings. I see it; I like it; I buy it! I learned the hard way how fast your fabrics disappear. Thank you for what you do!! I have used unfamiliar fabrics with ease as the sewing hints are there. Your photos and verbal descriptions are right on the money. I told my husband this past weekend that having access to the wonderful fabrics you showcase has connected me to who I truly am and it feels so good. I have had positive comments on all the garments that I have made from your fabric. Thanks again!
Margaret C., Whitinsville, MA [June, 2006]
...By the way--your website is terrific, and is one of the few places online where I am willing to buy fashion fabric. The photos of the fabrics from a distance are SO helpful in seeing what they really look like, and I greatly appreciate the sewing guides.
Lauren D., Chapel Hill, NC [June,2006]
Linda...Thank you so much. I am so happy to have finally found somewhere I can find wonderful fabrics from Washington. I used to live in NYC and was quite spoiled with options. Not until I found your site did I have such wonderful choices. AND! all that you send arrives so preciously packed...little plastic bags holding wonderful tactile suprises! As excited I was ordering, my excitement must have magnified 10-fold opening the box...everything was [hard to imagine, but] so much better in person. Thank you again.
Patricia Q., Woodinville, WA [April,2006]
...Thanks for convincing me that I'm worth Really Good Fabric. I know you didn't set out to do that... You just made beautiful stuff available in swatches to live with and love. The fabric itself says 'make me!' and the quality is affordable. Not cheap, but within reach. It's made such a difference in my sewing. Really Good Fabric is easier and more fun to work with. Plus spending $100 to look like a million bucks is an excellent return on investment.
Melissa E., Arlington, VA [April,2006]
Linda, I just wanted to compliment you again on your unerring eye. I am so grateful that we who sew have you out there buying wonderful things for us. Sincerely,
Elona M., Santa Barbara, CA [March, 2006]
Hi Linda, I have just received my second fabric order from you and I love it!! You've got the greatest eye. At first I was a bit hesitant to order fabric online, but I'm very happy with my orders. The fabrics are exactly as you described. Thank you for such great service, and such great fabrics!! I'm sure I'll be ordering again soon...
Kathleen Y., Gibsons, British Columbia [March, 2006]
Just received my EOS order and am absolutely thrilled!!!! The fabrics are a lovely quality, and very true to the photos/descriptions on the website. Shipping was quite prompt as well... please add me to your list of very satisfied customers.
Lee A., Hillsdale, NY [February,2006]
Dear Linda, Do you get tired of the accolades? I can't help it, here's some more. One of my recent orders arrived last week and, as usual, the fabrics are fabulous. That and your careful attention to packaging, speedy delivery and good prices have made me an Emma One Sock addict! Also, your website is fantastic. I enjoy just browsing it. The photos are clear and accurate and Shannon's tips are great. You have great taste and a first-class eye for fabric and design. I am a long time sewer, but I still get unique ideas from both you and Shannon to inspire me and teach me new things. I've said it before but, once again, I am so happy I found you! Thanks, Linda. Sincerely,
Janet B., Calgary, AB [February,2006]
Linda, I want you to know how much I appreciate your website. I check nearly every day and your selections are such fun. No decent fabric stores in Hawaii.
Pat A., Honolulu, HI [January, 2006]
Linda, I just wanted to tell you that when I
Linda, I got my goods today and wanted to let you know how pleased I am. The way you photograph the yardage with a close up and an overall really helps to provide an accurate impression of what the fabric is really like and your descriptions are always accurate with regard to hand. All in all a great way to shop and there is nowhere else to get the unique products you offer with such great service.
Patty C., Calgary, Alberta [December,2005]
Linda: I love the fabrics you offer, as you can tell from my purchases, but most especially I appreciate the great service. The sewing tips you offer on the web site are so detailed and comprehensive, it's like a mini sewing lesson [editorial comment: we all have Shannon Gifford to thank for that!]. I am always referring to your web site and hope you continue to be wildly successful! Thanks again.
Sharon C., Barrington, IL [October,2005]
I have been ordering from a variety of on-line companies to see which have the best service, quality, packaging, accuracy in cutting, etc. and was amazed when I opened the box from Emma One Sock...this was a work of art! .... I could feel the clouds part and the angels sing... it was beautiful. It's amazing what first impressions can do. Each item carefully packed individually. I hate to tear them open (sort of). I hope I will enjoy working with them as much as I have enjoyed seeing everything for the first time. Thank you for giving my order as much attention as I would expect had I been there in person.
Aileen D., Sanford, ME [September,2005]
I have to say you have the best quality fabric I've seen in a long time, Linda. My local store is... ____ ...and they cannot stand up to your quality. It really is super...thanks so much also for the great service. You really do know what the home sewer looks for when it comes to the good stuff! I'm your hugest fan!Judy S., Chevy Chase, MD [September,2005]
I think that you have the best service and the quality of your fabric is excellent. I also think that you have the best fabric website around. I love everything I've bought from you.
Nancy K., Brookhaven, NY [August,2005]
Dear Linda, Just a quick note to let you know that my fabric was just delivered; I didn't even have to make a trip to the customs bureau. Both [fabrics] are just as beautiful as I had hoped they would be. What a wonderful shopping experience! Thanks again!Julie S., Munich, Germany [August, 2005]
...one of my friends saw the mohair fabric [recently purchased] and she said: 'How could you afford a fabric like this?'.... Smile.
It's very easy when you know good sources I told her. It's a shame that she doesn't sew, too. We could easily infect her with that Emmaonesockvirus that is nesting in my house! *LOL*
Your fabrics are always of an outstanding qualtity not to speak of the kindness you always treat fabricoholics like me with. I surely feel like a queen!
Maria K., Grenaa, Denmark [August,2005]
Your website is really the best I have come across. You designed it really well and your fabrics are beautiful, and not the boring stuff you find in most fabric stores. I'm actually a 10-minute subway ride to the NY garment district but it's such a hassle going there...
Jill L, South Ozone Park, NY [August,2005]
Linda,I received my order today--love that it comes so quickly! The wools and doubleknit are so beautiful - even better than my high expectations. I am glad that you are carrying high-end fabric and that it is such an obvious success with your customers... It is a real pleasure doing business with you. Thank you!!!Karen V., Cleveland, TN [August, 2005]
Linda, You are just the greatest! Your fabric, website and taste in things are so inspirational. I have enjoyed every transaction and have repeatedly recommended your site to sewing friends...
Mary R., Tuscon, AZ [August,2005]
I LOVE IT ALL. The fabric, the fast service, the surprise of finding it in a postal envelope in my rural mailbox at a lower shipping cost! I found your site through a reviewer at patternreview.com and will definitely visit again. I also love your sewing guides by Shannon Gifford. THANKS!
Gail F., Burton, WA [July,2005]
Hi, just wanted to thank you for your prompt and diligent efforts in sending the fabric orders. You have one of the greatest fabric selections I've seen on line. Please continue buying all of these top quality fabrics and I will continue being a customer. I think that you have a natural talent for picking quality textiles.Cynthia S., Delray Beach, FL [July,2005]
LOVE the site... just keep me updated when new things are in and I will be a slave for life. Thank you,Laura D., San Francisco, CA [July, 2005]
Hi Linda, I received my order today--EXQUISITE as always. You really do have the best fabrics on the web, and the best customer service by far. Thank you so much! Best regards,
Tabitha O., Pacific Grove, CA [July,2005]
My package just arrived, Linda, and I'm just thrilled with the fabrics--especially the mohair. I hadn't asked for a sample of it and just decided to trust you based on the other samples I had received. So, my first fabric internet purchase was a huge success and I will continue to buy from you in the future...and I want you to know that I recognize and appreciate your attention to customer service. Many thanks...Sandra M, Dahlonega, GA [May, 2005]
I got my order today and just finished a skirt from the paisley onionskin stretch fabric. I have been in a sewing slump and boy did this get me going. It is just beautiful. Thanks so much!
Jennifer W., Conroe, TX [April,2005]
I just received my order and it's fabulous. I have been making knit tops for years but could never find fun, fashionable prints! Thank you for making this stuff available and affordable.Marie T., Ontario, Canada[April,2005]
Cant wait to see another fabulous piece of fabric. I tell all my clients to visit your web site! I make and design custom show clothes for the horse show clients. Thanks for all the fun new fabrics! It's hard to find cool stuff in Boise, Idaho!Liz W., Meridian, ID [March,2005]
Happy New Year Linda! I just had to write to say a big 'thank you' for all the hard work you have done finding fabrics this last year. It has been just over one year since I discovered Emmaonesock and the difference it has made to me has been tremendous. Your fabrics far surpass anything that can be found here - strange since Montreal considers itself a textile centre. As a sewing teacher and designer I am always looking for fabrics for class demo and custom orders and Emmaonesock has become one of my main sources. I received the parcel with the new stretch laces on New Year's eve and they are just perfect for a collection of Gothwear I've been asked to produce. I'm looking forward to doing more business with you in 2005...Jane R., Quebec, Canada [January,2005]
...I got the last shipment..I LOVE it! Thanks so much, it's so nice to get such nice fabrics to sew with. I've been sewing for a long time and didn't even know it was possible to get them without being close to NY or somewhere like that. Thanks also for your help with all of my questions!!
Jeanette M., Calgary, Alberta [December, 2004]
Dear Linda, My order arrived this morning (23 December) - what a lovely Christmas present. I was amazed it got here so quickly as you only shipped on the 14th. I was thrilled with the quality and loveliness of the fabric and I am looking forward to many happy hours creating beautiful clothes. Kind regards,Jennie P., Croyden Park, Australia [December, 2004]
Linda, I just received my first order from Emma One Sock! Wow! I'm thrilled. Everything is soooo beautiful. You've revolutionized my sewing life. I live in the middle of no where.........and quality fabrics are not something I'm used to. No more Joann's for this sewer! This definitely won't be my last order! Thanks again...Cheri J., Warsaw, OH [October,2004]
I imagine you get emails like mine all of the time, yet I am compelled to write about how much I love your fabrics. I have been away from sewing for about 10 years (after the kids arrived but I started back up again about 6 months ago. I heard so many good things about your fabrics from the patternreview.com message boards I just had to check it out for myself. Everything I have ordered has exceeded my expectations, and your service is excellent. I always receive tons of compliments on items made from your fabrics - without doubt it is the unique prints, patterns and fabric types that set you apart from other internet retailers. Best of all, I adore working with these top quality fabrics. They feed that need I have to touch and finger cool textiles. I made up a great little twist top dress in the autumn spice wool jersey last night, and I literally smiled through the whole thing because I was having so much fun just handling the fabric. Sounds strange to your average person, but I'm guessing you know where I am coming from!! I look forward to many more EOS experiences like that in the future.Laura W., Alpharetta, GA [September, 2004]
Hi Linda, just wanted you to know that I'm so thrilled with all of the fabric you've sent me...the Renaissance sweater knit...is my all-time favorite. I won't cut into that fabric until I've worked all the kinks out of it's intended pattern. Again, I know I sound like a broken record, but thanks so much for finding this gorgeous fabric.
Carolyn S., Zionsville, IN [August, 2004]
Hi Linda, Just a quick note to say thank you so much for sending the fabric, it arrived on Monday. It's absolutely gorgeous and just what was looking for. Thanks once again for all your help and the speedy delivery. I'll be back shopping on your site again very soon!! Kind regards,
Rachel B., United Kingdom [August, 2004]
Linda, Can you stand one more glowing testimonial? The fabrics are wonderful! The descriptions on your website were very accurate. I'm so pleased! I hope you keep this up for a long time. [Now, where am I going to get the time to sew all of this?....]
Kristin D., San Francisco, CA [August, 2004]
A bit of positive reinforcement: I just wanted you to know that you have exquisite taste. It is such a relief to have found your web site, especially where the trendy prints are concerned. Please keep being my eyes in New York - I only get there about once every two years, and I definitely don't have the contacts you do! Thanks for doing such great shopping for me!
Eileen D., La Mirada, CA [August, 2004]
I teach sewing and serger classes in the SF Bay Area. It has become next to impossible to find good quality, reasonably priced, garment fabrics in our area. While I encourage my students to support our local stores, I also know that quality fabric is one of the keys to success, which is so important for my beginners. I would like them all to want to keep sewing! I recommend your site in my classes because you have great quality, unique fabrics that are really motivating to sew. I appreciate all the work you do to keep us sewing great fabrics! Thanks so much,
Terry M., Pleasanton, CA [August, 2004]
As usual, you have outdone yourself. I'm always surprised at how nice the fabrics are when I recieve them from you. Normally, on-line fabric shopping can be a bit of a crap shoot, since there is no way to tell the hand or drape of a fabric. But with yours, the descriptions and photos are so accurate that it takes all the worry out of it. Thanks again.
Lisa L., Fort Lauderdale, FL [June, 2004]
Linda, you know I have always been very pleased with your wonderful fabrics and service. But when my latest package of cotton/lycra and rayon/lycra arrived this week I was so excited about the fabrics that I made my husband fondle them instead of just squirreling them away in my room! Thank you for offering us such delicious fabrics at very reasonable prices. I know I will never be disappointed in anything I buy from you. :-)
Gigi L., Plantation, FL [June, 2004]
Your website is so beautiful. I have really enjoyed seeing how the look of it evolves through the seasons. It is a little like walking out into the garden and noticing the sometimes subtle, always thrilling shifts of color I find there.
Ann P., Ramona, CA [May, 2004]
Hi Linda...I just thought I would take a second to let you know how much I love the fabric you offer. Every thing I have ever gotten from you is so cool, and believe me, there is no way to find this stuff anywhere else. You do a wonderful job and deserve to be thanked. So, thanks a million and keep it up! You rock....
Andi O., St. Petersburg, FL [May, 2004]
Linda, Linda, Linda! I was so thrilled to get home from work last night and have a package here from the 'Beautiful Fabric Fairy'...All the fabrics are magnificent! I'm so, so happy with them! Even my daughter was oohing and aaahing over them...I snatched them right out of her hands!... I'm going to check your site again, can't bear to let any goodies get by me...Take care, look for my future orders...many...too many...should take some time for actual sewing...but oh, so nice to get those packages!
Victoria G., Walled Lake, MI [May, 2004]
...I felt compelled to tell you how impressed I am with you and your company. The website is very well done, easy to move around in and I really love how you have organized it by type, color, capsules, etc. Very refreshing and it feels very personal for some reason. Your fabrics are beautiful, with a great mix of everyday and special fabrics. Prices are very reasonable. Ordering was effortless. Delivery as promised...you were very patient with my impatience - even providing me with the tracking number for UPS...But more than anything, the actual fabrics were far above my expectations. I am in North Idaho and I am starved for good fabric. What a pleasure to cut, sew and handle quality fabrics. And what a difference it makes in the final product. Please keep doing what you're doing! Kindest regards...
Katherine B., Coeur d'Alene, ID [May, 2004]
...Even though I am trying to cut down on my fabric purchases, your fabrics continually tempt me, and I don't mind investing in such beautiful, high quality fabrics. I know that they can be made into classic garments that I will wear for a very long time. Thank you again for such a wonderful service.
Deb F., West Haven, CT[April, 2004]
Linda,I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how pleased I am with my order! The fabric is just great and the shopping experience was super. Thank you for your excellent customer service and professionalism. It was much appreciated. I will be back to place additional orders!
Monica D., Cottonwood, CA [March, 2004]
I received my first order of fabric yesterday and the fabric was more beautiful than I could have imagined! Such quality. You have impeccable taste in fabrics and if I were a buyer I would choose the same fabrics you do. I'm sure glad I have you to do all the hard work and all I have to do is push buttons. Thanks again. I look forward to doing future business with you and your wonderful company!
[February, 2004]
Your fabrics are really wonderful and your Customer Service is the best anywhere. I love ordering from you. I know you are swamped, but you still take the time to let me know what is happening with my order. It's so very unusual to get both an excellent product and the BEST service.
Eileen M., Madison Heights, MI [February, 2004]
Dear Linda, The fabrics arrived today and they look just like your photos. I am very impressed with how organized and customer oriented you are. You really aim to please. Thanks!
Elizabeth K., New Zealand [January, 2004]
Oh, Linda, I just received my shipment of fabrics and I am so overwhelmed I am ALMOST speechless. Everything is just beautiful and I couldn't be happier.....Again, thank you, thank you. No wonder everyone gushes so about you on your thread on www.sewingworld.com . I am your newest 'gushee'.
Rosemary G., Burmingham, AL [January, 2004]
The box arrived last night, and it was impossible to pick a favorite, they are all so yummy. Sometimes one stands out as being so much nicer than the photos show, but not this time. I could go on and on about so many of them. Thanks for doing what you do, so very well.
Patricia W., Billings, MT [January, 2004]
I am truly amazed. I placed this order late Monday evening and received it today, which is Wednesday. I haven't even dug out from all the snow and ice to go to the grocery store, and this order arrived today. I couldn't have made it out to a brick and mortar store as quickly! The fabrics are just gorgeous - even more beautiful than expected. I can't wait to sew something with them. This is my second order from you, but certainly not my last. You are a pleasure to do business with!
Monica E., Montclair, VA [January, 2004]
I just opened my box of EOS fabric. What can I say? How many kinds of lovely are these fabrics? Beautiful onionskins and trendy knits. You've more than proven your reputation. It's onto the sweater knits for my next order ...
Jackie M., Longmont, CO[ December, 2003]
I have just begun to order from you and have just received my second order. I just had to let you know how much I love these fabrics! I will be cutting my sweater tomorrow and I can't wait! I have told DH that I want EOS gift certificates for Christmas, so.....we'll see......Anyway, thanks for the beautiful fabrics and great service. It's so nice to know that in this world where things aren't so nice a lot of the time, there is a place that has such beautiful things....
Patricia P., Dayton, OH [December, 2003]
Dear Linda, My fabric arrived yesterday and I must tell you how pleased I am. They are beautiful, fabulous quality and hand. I couldn't be happier. This was my first order from you and can count on me to be a repeat customer in the future. Thank you so much.
Alexandra B., Whitefish Bay, WI [December, 2003]
...my first order arrived about 5 working days after you sent it, in perfect condition, like it had come from just around the corner!! I love the fabric, really impressed with the quality and uniqueness. Although the freight doubles the cost, your fabric is still worth every cent, as I can't get anything remotely like yours here. Thanks for offering such wonderful fabric, and providing such great service...
Robyn H., Australia[ November, 2003]
[from a chat room entry]...I received the stretch garnet wool boucle yesterday. This is sooooooooooo gorgeous....I can't believe that she offers such wonderful fabrics at these low prices. To those of you who purchased this one, I think you will agree that it is comparable to what other vendors would sell for $30+ per yard...
Kathy B., Rochester, NY [November, 2003]
I'm not in the habit of writing personal notes to business owners, but I just have to say that the fabrics you offer are unlike any I ever see anywhere else, both past and present, and I cannot stress enough how honestly unique and exciting you are. Thank you, thank you, thank you... you don't know what you do for my imagination!!! Very, very sincerely,
Traci Avet-Compton, Wellington, FL [ October, 2003]
Linda, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with all the fabric I have bought from you. I have been disappointed by other online experiences, but I will never hesitate to buy from you. Your descriptions have matched your product to a T. And sometimes, my expectations have been surpassed. Thank you so much. I hope to be buying from you for many years to come.
Marissa B., Denver, CO [ October, 2003]
Just got my first EOS order delivered and I am so happy!...Absolutely great quality fabric! Thank you for being my personal NY fabric district shopper, Linda.
Teresa C, Plano,TX [ September, 2003]
Order just arrived! Love the fabric -- you are spoiling me!! Keep up the great fabric buying. I love all the classic ones....but you seem to have something for every taste! Thanks--
Nedra V., Sulphur, LA [ September, 2003]
I just received my package of fall knits--excellent and speedy service! I have to tell you that I am ecstatic about the fabric. I never see these interesting knits in fabric stores so I am grateful that you are hunting them down for us. I notice that most of my choices are sold out so I am glad that I ordered quickly - and am especially glad that I got some of the teal knit. Thank you for your good taste and wonderful customer service!
Karen V., Cleveland, TN [ July, 2003]
...I love the way you show not only the fabric with an inch scale over it--but the picture of the fabric on the bolt as well. That is unique, I believe, and tremendously helpful for decision-making on the internet.
Elona M., Santa Barbara, CA [ July, 2003]
....I just received my first ever order for fabric online and it is just gorgeous! This fabric is much better than expected and I have lost my fear of ordering fabric that I can't see and touch in person. Your descriptions of the fabrics are right on. Thank you so much for providing this service!
Tammy M., York, NE [ July, 2003]
What I appreciate about your business is that I can trust the quality of the fabrics. So I'm able to keep my fashion conscious 13 year old out of the local fabric stores with their shoddy merchandise since we just order from you! She loves the trendy knits and your prices, even with shipping, are very competitive with the local stores. And the time saving factor of having it come to my door is great for a full time working mom. We've had great success so far with what we've ordered and Ingrid--my daughter--likes having knit tops that no one else has. She's even making some of them herself! If I ever figure out how to use our new digital camera I'll post some pictures on sewing world. Keep up the good work!
Emmy N., Columbia Heights, MN [ June, 2003]
