The Michaels stores here have a handful of FQ. That is the only fabric they carry. I will have to check sometime in the future to see if they expand their fabric selection.

Hobby Lobby is closer and I prefer their fabrics. My Michael's doesn't carry any fabrics.

My local Michael's only carries a small selection of FQs and some burlap and velveteens (also FQ size). Would be nice to have a fabric department as I like other things that Michael's sells.

Michael's with fabric?? Not around here--would like it though cause I'm not fond of JoAnne's and refuse to spend $$ in Hobby Lobby for personal reasons, so basically no places other than LQS for fabrics--and nothing for apparel or other fabric.

The Michael's near me has never carried fabric and when I was in there this weekend they knew nothing about it. maybe store manager hasn't said anything or maybe only for certain stores.
