A World of Fabrics Under One Roof

The Fabric Mill has been called “a football field filled with fabrics and trims.” It’s no wonder customers spend hours walking the color-coordinated aisles of the 22,000-square-foot Plainview store.

Silks have blossomed with over 500 bolts of dupioni and taffeta solids, plaids, embroideries, stripes, organzas and damasks. They’ve even designed their own colors and patterns.

The trim department, which Allison calls “the candy store,” has beads, feathers, furs, tassels, cords, ribbons, braids, bullions, brush and loop fringes, and a mixture of textures and styles just waiting to embellish any fabric. The Fabric Mill offers an extensive menu for custom design with a workroom on the premises including window treatments, pillows, slipcovers, duvets, comforters, bedspreads, dusters, shams, cushions, table skirts, reupholstery and custom furniture direct from North Carolina.
