Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was in our local Hancock's Sunday and was told that the 70% off Christmas fabric would be 80% off starting the 10th, tomorrow, don't know if it's for every Hancocks but you could call and ask if you're interested in Christmas fabric. I need lots of it for pillow cases for kids in hospitals.

Treat people the way you want to be treated!!
Sad to say no more Hancock Fabrics in our area, only JoAnn's. Too bad for all of us, JoAnn's just doesn't compare.
one by me either...closest is over 35 miles away........as far as JoAnn's no-comparison....how true....just yesterday was in a "new" JoAnn in a town about 30 miles west and was greatly disappointed in the layout of the store and also the merchandise offered. A lot of chochkys........fabric dept and quilting stuff in a corner as an afterthought, while other and it seemed, every other hobby was everywhere............also the quilting books are not all in one place, sort of scattered in three different places that I counted anyway...........and the cutting table and checkout cashiers are against the outside walls at the front of the store, and all I could see is what a collision when there is a "sale" on fabric, clash between check out and cutting.....I shall not venture out to that store again........JMHOOriginally Posted by oh munner
I'm with you ... that's exactly how our newer Joann's "Superstore" is here ... we had high hopes when they relocated as a big "Superstore" but they are just JUNK Superstores !!
Fabrics, books and patterns seem to just be a SIDELINE, they have more FLEECE than decent quilt or sewing fabrics (even here in HOT Texas) Books are all mixed in 3 or 4 places, they get very few new quilting books ... 2/3 of the store is other crafts and just MORE seasonal JUNK !! They've had several Mgrs. and none have stayed, I can see why ...
Does Joann's REALLY need to sell SOCKS, COFFEE MUGS, FLAGS, GIFT WRAP and MUSIC CDs etc ??? ... and they wonder why we quilters and sewers shop ONLINE !!

I live in Ocean Springs, Ms and our Hancock fabric in Biloxi has the same sale. Went to Chicago in July of last year and they had Christmas fabric up to 90% off. Oh boy! was I in hog heaven. Thanks for sharing.
Can you tell me the address for the Hancock's in Biloxi? I go there a lot and would like to see the store.
Thanks for the info....
Yes, Yes, I did I did; My DH and I have the same birthday and guess what I got a shopping spree for it and went to Hancocks at 80% off; spend $200.00 on all kinds of fabric incl batik and fleese- planned alot for next Christmas. Christmas fabric was 1.96/yd. It was fun; I think I looked like the lady in the video hiding her fabric and My DH just stood there and laughed at me and he kept making recommendations on more fabric. It was fun. I wish every one of you a day like that.
I went 2 days after Christmas, it was 70% off and I was happy with that. I doubt if they had any left by now, There was not a lot when I went but I still got some for my stash.
