Harrisonburg, Virginia · Since 2003
Employee-owned Harrisonburg fabric shop voted best in the Shenandoah Valley multiple years running.
Ragtime Fabrics has been part of Harrisonburg's sewing community since 2003, and it's structured a little differently from most shops on this list — it's employee-owned, which tends to show up in how a staff treats the shop and its customers, since they've got a real stake in how it's run.
That approach seems to be working: Ragtime has been voted the best fabric shop in the Shenandoah Valley multiple years running, a recognition that comes straight from the local community rather than anywhere else. As a Baby Lock dealer, machine sales are part of the business, and the fabric selection stretches beyond quilting cotton into garment and bridal fabric, so this is a shop for sewists of all kinds, not quilters exclusively. Sewing classes are available for anyone looking to build skills in any of those directions.
If you're in Harrisonburg, Ragtime Fabrics has more than two decades of employee-owned history and a stack of local "best of" wins behind it — reason enough to make it a regular stop.
