Bessemer’s Premier Fabric Outlet & Textile Showroom

30,000 Square Feet of Premium Upholstery, Drapery, and DIY Fabrics at Wholesale Prices

United Textiles has been the go-to fabric destination for DIY creators, home decorators, interior designers, and seamstresses across Bessemer, Birmingham, and the greater Jefferson County area. Our 30,000-square-foot showroom on 2nd Avenue North stocks an extraordinary range of fabrics — from budget-friendly polyester blends to rich hand-tooled leather — all available at prices that simply can’t be matched.

Whether you’re reupholstering a beloved armchair, sewing custom window treatments, or cutting fabric for a one-of-a-kind garment, our in-store team will custom-cut exactly what you need — no waste, no leftover scraps, no extra cost.

We bridge the gap between premium quality and warehouse pricing, specializing in heavy-duty upholstery, custom drapery materials, and specialty clothing fabrics designed to last.

  • Premium Upholstery & Furniture Grade: Find heavy-duty leathers, vinyls, and high-double-rub-count fabrics perfect for armchairs, sofas, and automotive interiors.

  • Custom Drapery & Window Treatments: From sheer satins to blackout linings, we stock the yardage you need for floor-to-ceiling custom curtains.

  • Quilting & Apparel Essentials: Explore 100% Cotton, soft felt, and versatile cotton/poly blends in every color of the rainbow.

The United Textiles Advantage: Why We are Alabama’s Favorite

  • In-Store Custom Cutting: Forget pre-cut scraps. Our staff provides precision bolt-cutting, ensuring you buy exactly what you need with zero waste.

  • Wholesale Pricing for the Public: Because we operate out of a 30,000-square-foot facility, we pass our bulk-buying power directly to you.

  • Nostalgic Service, Modern Selection: As a family-operated business, we provide the personalized advice you won’t find at national chains.
