BenFranklin.com
 
I was using a price comparison site called shopzilla and I came across a site called www.BenFranklin.com. It has a ton of great prices on sewing and quilting tools! If people are looking for a great bargain check out this site I was amazed!

Thanks

I have a BF near my house and I'm surprised they have good prices in their online store because "in" store they're pretty high. I'll go there if my LQS is closed (Sunday) and I "need" something.

Also if you order fabric, be careful. Their quality is hit and miss. Some of their cottons are pretty poor quality.

There was a BF near me up till about 13 yrs ago. It was way better than Wall-Mart. Family owned and quite elderly. They finally had to retire from working the business. Miss it alot. The building is now a CVS.:(
peace

I remember Ben Franklin from when I was a kid. The store, not the guy...It was my favorite craft place, I would ogle the embroidery floss. Back then I was cross stitching pillowcases with my grandmother....Miss it, none here.

There is a store near me. Prices are really pretty good on everything but I'd still compare to other sites before buying. But if you're buying fabric, I agree with DogHouseMom. I'd go to a store to feel the fabric before buying; I just found a treasure trove there recently but not always.

BF is the best if you are lucky enough to live near one. Thanks for the site.
