About

Big Z Fabric also develops proprietary product lines, such as EcoShag® (premium faux fur), DuroLast® (marine-grade vinyl), AquaGuard® (pattern vinyl), and Hug-Z® (ultra-soft minky), ensuring unique selections unavailable at other retailers. The store caters to a wide audience including DIY crafters, costume designers, quilters, upholsterers, fashion designers, and small business owners. Their customer service team handles every inquiry personally — no automated responses — ensuring shoppers find exactly the right fabric for their projects.
