Customer Reviews

As an avid quilter for over 20 years, I've tried my share of fabric brands, but none impress me more than Hoffman. Their designs, quality and selection are unmatched. I just finished a baby quilt using Hoffman batiks and it's my new favorite project. The colors blend beautifully and the hand-dyed cracking gives so much depth and interest. The fabric feels wonderfully soft and drapes beautifully. I'm also in love with Hoffman's Artisan Spirit collection of bold, modern prints. They have inspiring graphic designs unlike anything I've seen from other brands. And with Hoffman's wide range of coordinating solids and blenders, it makes matching colors effortless. I appreciate that they create their own original prints while so many competitors just mimic trends. With unbeatable quality and so many options for both traditional and modern styles, Hoffman fabrics make every quilt a work of art.

Jane Smith

As a busy dad who enjoys sewing clothes for my kids in my spare time, I count on fabrics that are easy to work with and perform well. Hoffman delivers on both fronts. Their wovens have a perfectly smooth, uniform weave that prevents puckering and seams that lie flat. And the colors are so vibrant - the cute dinosaur print fabric I used for my son's shirt came out exactly as I imagined. I also appreciate the care instructions on the Hoffman website so I know how to properly wash each fabric. They really understand the details that make a fabric sew and wear well. I'm excited to try their knits next for some cozy hoodies. With quality I can count on and so many fun prints to spark my little one's imagination, Hoffman makes sewing for my family even more rewarding.

Max Chen

I design and sew couture gowns, so I need fabrics with exceptional drape, richness and luxury. Hoffman's line of silk charmeuse, satins and specialty fabrics give my dresses and brides' gowns the opulent look I want to achieve. Their silks have a luminous sheen, react gorgeously to draping, and come in a spectrum of bridal-worthy colors. I'm also impressed by the consistency of their fabric quality - no irregularities or flaws that would ruin a dress. Hoffman's lace trims, appliques and embroidered mesh are the picture-perfect accents and embellishments my designs need. My clients are delighted when they wear a dress made from Hoffman's elegant fabrics. They make me look like an expert designer! For special occasion and bridal wear, no brand compares. Hoffman truly helps me create my dream dresses.

Alicia Green

As an art teacher running classroom craft projects, I need good quality fabrics at affordable bulk prices. Hoffman checks both boxes. Their cotton blends have the vibrant colors my students love but are economical to purchase in large cuts. And the fabric is durable enough to withstand daily use by young kids - no fraying, shrinking or bleeding when washed. I'm amazed at the unique, creative prints Hoffman offers, like the cool Day of the Dead sugar skulls my class used for quilted wall hangings. The students were so proud of their finished projects. And for basic lesson needs like blank canvas panels, Hoffman's white broadcloth gives a nice taut surface at a fraction of the cost of specialized canvas. For fun, budget-friendly fabrics that bring kids' art projects to life, Hoffman is my top pick. They really understand the needs of teachers and students.

Michelle Lee

As the product developer for a baby bedding startup, finding reliable fabrics at scale is crucial. Hoffman has become an invaluable partner. Their fleece, flannels and cotton blends are exceptionally soft, cozy and safe for delicate skin. And they can supply our large yardage needs at wholesale prices without sacrificing quality. I appreciate that Hoffman shares testing certifications for performance factors like pH level and chemical content so I know their fabrics meet safety standards for infants. Our designer loves having so many on-trend prints to work with like Hoffman's whimsical bears, colorful stars and sweet florals. Our company's growth and success owes a lot to Hoffman's stellar reputation, quality control and capacity to provide excellent fabrics at an affordable price point for new businesses. They deliver everything a brand like ours needs.
