From the website: In the words of one Mood Client, “ If you can’t find it (fabric) at Mood, it doesn’t exist!” With a wide range of fabrics from silk to wool, an abundance of styles and colors and an ever-expanding inventory, Mood has it all. This is why the Mood name is synonymous with excellence and why it is getting so much recognition and publicity. With over 40,000 Sq Ft incorporated into its majestic mega store on 37th St. in New York City, staffed by over 50 experienced and knowledgeable employees...Mood has solidified itself as the fastest growing Mecca for designer fabrics.

I HAVE to have the blue fabric on the sofa! What is the name of it?

Mood is great, but it happens regularly that they do not have a certain fabric I am looking for. Most recently, a simple Hopsack fabric for Herman Miller chairs and Missoni fabric, or anything closely resembling it. If you come thinking you'd like to get some ideas on refinishing a piece (or creating a garment) it's great, but when you have something very specific in mind it can disappoint.

I work about a block from Mood and so have ambled in during lunch a couple times. The salespeople are very helpful and knowledgeable about inventory, but I was surprised to find that they didn't carry Amy Butler fabrics.

You don't go looking for a fabric amt230. You go and let a fabric find you.... ~:o)

I love Mood, but the shops one block farther west are substantially cheaper...just sayin'.
I had heard that the buyer from M&J Trimmings was now the buyer at Mood. Mood's trimming stuff seems to be much cheaper than M&J.

Mood is not where you go to save money, but it is a great resource for inspiration and some unique fabrics. Occasionally they will get discontinued bolts of really interesting material from fashion heavy hitters. You are still looking at $30-$45 a yard for those, which makes them a bargain for fashion projects but really puts them out of range for most money saving diy interiors applications.
My favorite resources for discount fabric:
ebay (hard to find, trade only high quality interiors fabrics at deep discount)
modern-fabrics.com
denverfabrics.com

Go to Belraf Fabrics on Orchard St. Waaaaay cheaper prices than midtown and they have an online store too now at www.belraffabrics.com
I have been shopping there for 10 years. Ask for Igor -- he can help you find the fabric that you didn't know you were looking for, but can no longer live without.
