I don't shop there, either. Another reason is the carried mdse. If I'm shopping for the holidays, Hanukkah falls close to Christmas, and so does Kwanzaa. I have friends that celebrate those. It means I have to run to other stores to find gifts for them and there are other fabric stores closer to shops that do carry for other holidays. There's Michaels, and Joanne has fabrics plus the cards and gifts. So does Wally World in places. I'd rather do all my shopping in one area than driving all over town. There are good quilt stores with a office supply store/or cards in the same block.
They can choose not to, it's their store, but then don't fuss over non-attracted business for those who like convenience.

The fabric at our HL is good just not much of a selection. I had to tell one of the cutters how to cut fabric but it was her first day. She said she didn't sew. Had never used a needle. When any store hires they really need to find out what a person's interest is and place accordingly. I always check the scrap/discontinued bin. Some good deals in there. Always something for a good crazy quilt or project.

First of all I'm not sure "what they stand for" except for selling craft/sewing stuff. I've never been in one but will try our new one in Va Beach soon. As far as quality, it depends on what I'm making. I've gotten good quality and bad quality at Walmarts too. If I'm doing a practice peice like with my serger that I'm having a blast learning or I'm making a quilt for a child to drag around, then I'm not paying 10+ on fabric, that would be crazy. I've found fabric at Walmarts that I've made like my grandkids Halloween bags out of and they are over 8yrs old and still going strong, plus my two youngest kids who are 25 and 27 had thier bags made from fabric from Walmarts and its still going strong. You have to watch what you are buying as in most things to get a good deal. I agree with others, sometimes the price is at the top of the decision list because it has determined more than once if I could afford to make a quilt if I couldn't afford the fabric.
