I went a total of four times during the sales of the two stores in my area. I bought everything from a new clip on Ott light to a free-standing hemmer, a few rulers, lots of thread, zippers, cording trims and tons patterns and booklets. The enormous amount fabric yardage I got was mostly cotton but some duck cloth, woolen blends, seersucker and some ultra- suede.
Hancock's was my favorite store and I just hated to see them go. I do have other places to shop for this type of sewing needs, but, to me they were the best and least expensive. I am sure the venders, shopkeepers and customers will all miss them being in business.
Hancocks was my go to store for heavier weight fabrics at reasonable prices, especially spot the bolt. I have only gone during this liquidation a few times because the liquidators prices were higher than what I could have gotten the material for at Hancocks sales.
Yes a lot of people are going through Hancocks withdrawal.
