They usually have good quality fabric. I have never had any problem in using their fabrics. They have a weekly 40% coupon but most of their fabric is 30% off so the coupon is not applicable. They do carry a limited selection of Kona solids.

I like HL fabrics, especially for apparel for the granddaughters. They have real cute and trendy coordinating fabric for this. Their quality is much better than Hancocks. I don't know what happened to Hancocks' quality, but it went down and the price went up. I don't shop there anymore.

I buy HL fabric to make dresses, etc for my granddaughters, as they have adorable prints, . . .but it's not quilt shop quality. If you can tell the difference between quilt shop cottons and JoAnn's cottons, you might not enjoy using it in quilts.

Their fabric is just fine for anything I've done. It probably isn't the best there is, but it isn't $10-13/ yard either! The last time I was in a couple weeks ago it seemed they had a bunch of new stuff. Also have been happy that they keep their stock for a while - that way when I miscalculate yardage, I can count on getting more of what I already have 
I think they also accept competitor coupons?

I love browsing through HL, nice and clean store and good-natured employees, I'm going to have to start looking more closely at their fabric selections though, the last few times I did I just couldn't find anything I particularly wanted but now that Joann's has raised their lowest-priced quilting cottons from 5.99 to 7.99 they are pricing themselves out of my range for that kind of (lesser) quality. Walmart (right next door to HL) is improving in their fabric selection, lots of Waverly with good-looking prints showing up, so Joann's can keep raising prices and playing coupons games and lose more business. The employees at my closest Joann store are miserable, only 2 employees allowed to work on any shift, during busy times you can wait at the cutting table for considerable time, if I can't get there before 10:00 in the morning I just don't go, too aggravating, esp. given the escalating prices.

I have purchased quite a bit of Hobby Lobby fabric and I love it. Of course, like any fabric store, you can run into some less-quality fabric that I tend to stay away from, but I have used their cottons plenty of times for quilts and tote bags without issue.

All of these are Hobby Lobby fabrics. I say give it a try!
