It is very small, but nearly every bolt contained therein is desirable. Their buyer is brilliant and has their finger on the pulse of the hip sewing crowd. Great buttons and trims too. Very friendly staff. I purchased a panel from a brand new bolt. It had been priced by the yard instead of by the panel. The cutter evened out the edge and cut one panel for me, charging me for the next measurement down, since it was in between the fractions. I believe they may be the only fabric store in Portland to carry Marimekko. They are quick with their orders and get new fabrics weeks before the larger stores.

I'm not so sure what happened when that other reviewer visited the store because Bolt is anything but dark and dingy. It's a great store -- friendly & knowledgeable staff, great fabric selection, and fantastic location. It is a small space and there is a lot of fabric, but it doesn't feel cramped at all. If you're in the Alberta Arts area, you should definitely check it out!
Pros: great staff, wonderful selection
Cons: none

While the shop had a variety of fabric choices, it seemed a bit crowded and the lighting was not good.
Cons: Crowded, dark & dingy

Bolt is definitely the friendly neighborhood fabric boutique. Gina was so helpful in trying to find and order a specific Alexander Henry fabric for me - and when we couldn't get it (on backorder for months), John walked through the store with me until I could find something I liked in the right color scheme. Fabulous fabrics for everything you could possibly want to make, good prices, an organized layout and the friendly staff will keep me going back.
