Sew-Low Discount Fabrics is closing

I've never been to this store, but people have repeatedly praised it in this community. So I'm bringing you the sad news that it is closing this summer.

Oh, bummer. Where's the next-closest fabric store? Boston in Chinatown, maybe?

The other store people often mention here is Sewfisticated, also in East Cambridge Edit: OK, they call Twin City Plaza "Somerville".

Oh, right!

The shopping mall part of Twincity plaza has always been a part of Somerville. It is right on the border with Cambridge, thus the name. Only the skating rink and the little park are actually in East Cambridge.

I'll bet the McDonald's there still gives out receipts that say "Sommerville."

Another close store (caveat: I've not checked it out) is Fabric Corner (http://www.fabriccornerinc.com/) on Mass Ave in Arlington on the corner of Mill St just to other side of Arlington Center on the 77 route.

Fabric Corner is a fine fabric store. Though if you're looking for notions it's not really fully stocked. Sure, they'll have scissors and thread and basic things you need, but the selection is not super extensive in that area. Otherwise, they have a wide variety of fabrics.
