Once you go through the door there is a bulletin board full of business cards of long arm quilters and other craft things. On the left is a bunch of shopping carts and a window to some office covered with bright bold underwater fish scene. Then it hits you! Bolts and bolts of fabric, neatly arranged by theme and color. Tables of seconds where the fabric may have small or sometimes large imperfections ( you can cut around them usually) for $1 or slightly more!!! Then there is flat folds. Then upholstery or decorator fabric on tables and rolls. Then a little tiny bathroom tucked in a corner. Its functional but not fancy. In the back there are more bolts that can be purchased by people who have a business or some affiliation like that. There are notions, not too many, but nearly everything. Threads of all kinds. Trims. Even a coffee pot and a bench to sit on and have a rest.
Its a great Arkansas experience. I love it.
I have to correct you ;) ....and alot of people think the same thing!!!!! ANYONE ANYBODY YOU ME HER OR HIM can buy from the wholesale side!!!! You do not need a tax number or have to own a business!!!!!! And you don't have to buy full bolts....they have partial bolts starting at 3 yards and up!!!! I only buy from the wholesale!!!
