you can go on the internet in their website and sign up for their weekly posts and print out a 40 % off coupon,once a day-most of their fabrics here in St Augustine are 30 % off- but they'll make it whole price on the ticket, if you ask them and get the additional 10 % off. My family calls Hobby Lobby my home away from home here. Love that store!

I like our Jo Anns but hate the long cutting lines. But the employees are really nice and helpful. Hobby Lobby is in Washington so we have to go over there to shop at HL. We have a Hancock Fabric here and it is nice, also Bear Paw Quilting which is really nice but really expensive.

I forgot to add that both our Walmarts have fabric and I have found things in there that I couldn't find elsewhere.

I feel the same way. I guess a lot of people do because every time I go it is full of shoppers.

Used to go the Hobby Lobby - no more. Boycotting due to corporate policies and women's health.

Yup, this is me, too. Except I do still buy from Amazon but lately the more I hear about THEIR policies (how they treat their warehouse workers, how they squeeze book publishers) the less I'm buying from them.

I like Joann's, there are 2 near me and they're both "pretty good", but I noticed the other weekend that they've bumped their Kona up to 8.99 a yard now (up from 7.99), and they've been having a worse and worse selection of it. BOO!! I find I am buying less and less there....the good fabrics are priced with LQS prices but have a much smaller selection than an LQS, and I'm not interested in their cheap fabric. I guess that's good news for the few LQS around here though!

Fortunately my area also has 2 Beverly's stores; their fabric is close to LQS prices but it's LQS quality, and a nice big selection. If you shop their online store, you can get free delivery to a local store, AND they will honor Joann's coupons for up to 30% off on fabric (but only one coupon per transaction, not multiples like Joann's will do). And they give discounts for quilt guild members too - most fabric & sewing shops in my area do that.

I don't like Hobby Lobby, don't shop at WalMart. JoAnn really varies from location to location, but I do not like their quilting fabric - quality aside, they just don't carry colors/design that I like. At some locations, apparel fabric can be OK. Have a Hancock very close to me - rarely find anything I like, but good for lots of other stuff. Pricing Kona at $8.99 is ridiculous - as you can buy it at the LQS, or any on line shop pretty much for $6 or $7. These stores mark stuff up, so they can mark it down. I can't believe they think that customers are so blind as t6o not realize that. The LQS in my area are nice, but expensive and their sales are nothing special, so I find myself shopping on line most of the time.

If you haven't been to a Hobby Lobby in 5 years you will be heartsick at how much it has changed, especially in the fabric and yarn departments. I couldn't wait for them to come to SoCal and now I won't go into them because of the great disappointment.

to all the above posts that won't shop at Hobby Lobby, since when is it politically incorrect to tolerate others viewpoints. It never would have been an issue if those 4 sources of birth control that abort a fetus after conception weren't signaled out. Liberal amaze me with their so called tolerance of other's viewpoints.
