Cambridge
Sew-Fisticated Discount Fabrics
Twin Cities Plaza
Cambridge, MA 02138
617-625-7996
Located on Cambridge/Somerville line, between McGrath Hwy and Cambridge Street by Lechmere Station. Good selection of quality fabrics at excellent prices. Inventory has quick turnaround, so it pays to check back often. My experience is that many patterns are out of stock. Some are half price, but if you shop around you can find them for cheaper.
Sew Low Discount Fabrics
473 Cambridge St
Cambridge, MA 02141
617-661-8361
Huge store overfilled with fabric - so much, in fact, that it's hard to move around in places. I've seen the same inventory sit for several years, and as a result not many new fabrics come in. Patterns are very cheap - because they're discontinued and in heaps at the back of the store. If you like to dig, you might find what you're looking for, but the prices seem a bit high for the quality of the store.
Downtown Boston - Chinatown

WinMil Fabrics
111 Chauncy St
Boston, MA 02111
617-542-1815

One of the larger fabric stores in Chinatown, with a good selection of fabrics and patterns.

New England Textiles
50 Essex St
Boston, MA 02111-1714
Phone: (617)426-1965

Mix of home decorating fabrics and clothing fabrics, many of which are remnants.

Clement Textile
80 Bedford St
Boston, MA 02111
617-542-9511

Smaller fabric store. On occasion, I've found some really great fabrics here.

Windsor Button Shop
35 Temple Pl
Boston, MA 02111-1305
617-482-4969

Many, many, many buttons at reasonable to high prices.
There are also a few stores with beautiful silk fabrics that you'll run across in the area. (At one, I had to be buzzed in and out of the store, which is a little intimidating.) The prices aren't that high, considering the quality.
Boston Suburbs
Button Box Quilt Shop
5 Overbrook Drive
Wellesley, MA 02482
781-489-6515
I used to come here all the time when the store was in Needham - I haven't seen it since the move, but I can only guess that the store is even better now. Great selection of quilting fabrics, notions, Pfaff machines, and sewing and quilting classes.
Fabric Corner
783 Massachusetts Ave.
Arlington, MA 02476
781-643-4040
Good selection of quality fabrics at good prices. Also carries patterns and notions.

Fabric Place
Woburn Mall
300 Mishawum Road
Woburn MA 01801 (Also, stores in Framingham, Natick, and Newton)

This store has great fabrics, but you should expect to pay a bit more from them. They do have remnant tables you can pick through to find good deals. They have good prices on patterns, and if you catch the sales (sign up for the flyer!) you can save a lot of money. They also have a very wide selection of notions, home decorating fabric, yarn, etc.
Central MA

The Fabric Stash
16 Sturbridge Road
Charlton, MA 01507
508-248-0600

Quilting fabric, quilting classes, and machine quilting service. I actually haven't been here yet - if you have, feel free to add info about the shop!
