Two years ago I gave up a JoAnns (twenty miles away) simply because of their attitudes, length of standing in lines, and lack of quality quilting fabrics. Our local Hancock Fabrics presently is rumored to be getting ready for a remodel and the talk about town, is no one is going to like it as a fabric store. I imagine, if the crafty things do take over, I will write them off too. As it is some of their roller-printed fabrics fade and their batiks are too loud for my liking. Lucky for me, there is a LQS just down the road but, again, the prices going up will limit my purchases. I hate to be negative, but store upper management needs to understand the wishes of a quilter. We are not a dead group; there are millions of us needing quality fabrics. I hope the new CEO does a little more research before reducing the fabric line in lieu of scrapbooks, beading and the like.
