According to Yelp Jennys is the same organization as M&L. From the reviews Jennys seems to have more of the bridal and costume fabrics, is smaller and more disorganized but preferred to the garment district in LA if time is the issue.

yeah, I seem to remember the word through the grapevine was M&L was bought out by Jennys (it's been several years ago now) but they still continue to employ family members of the original owners, and the men that do work there no longer interact with customers.

I was wondering what the prices were on flat fold. I remember when they were $1.49 a yard. The nearest major landmark it is near is near is Knot's Berry Farm. It is near the corner of Knott & Ball. It is a store that has a mixture of fabric. You can buy fabric from a bolt at normal quilt shop prices or dig thru the flat folds and let me tell you, there are lots of aisles FULL of flat fold stack 7 feet HIGH. It is a lot of fun if you like to dig. Hoping I can catch a ride someday since with my disability, I longer am able to drive...... :lol:

I paid $2.49 for my fabric yesterday. I think the VIP is $2.98 a yard.

sure was brave of you to look thru the flat fold piles!!!!!
It's been at least 18 mos since I was last there but I decided that tackling those flat fold piles was not worth the pain in the shoulders!!! Such a mess

I do love to cruise the aisles, especially where they have the better prices!!!

I saw on the Yelp reviews of this store that the old Russian ladies in the baboushkas are still very much in control and not in the least customer service oriented. They also said that the front of the store had the most expensive newer fabrics and price and quality declined as you go further to the back. Is this still true? It won't keep me from shopping there, however.
I have never had a problem with anyone there. There are just not many people working so you do have to find things on your own pretty much.

I have only had good experiences with the ladies working there, and if I ask for a specific fabric that I thought I saw they know what area of the store it is in to help locate it.

I always go with my quilter/friend so we can Laugh at each other ....cough cough....I mean help each other with the flat fold area. We always have a great time.
