Hancock's Liquidation Sale has started
Probably you have heard by now that Hancock's Fabrics is going out of business--the liquidation sale started this week and they anticipate that the place will be cleared out by 10-13 weeks (although there today and was told that they still have stuff in warehouse so will keep selling until the majority of it is gone). Right now almost everything (including Accuquilt Go and sewing machines) is marked down 20%. The longer the sale, the more it will go down.
I was in today and it was very, steady, busy. I went for specific stuff like some flannel backed tablecloth, outdoor upholstery fabric, some specific colors of quilting fabric, wideback and a few notions. I will say that even though they just started the process this Monday or Tues, it was already looking like lots are gone. There is a min. of 2 yd purchase on fabric on the bolt except fine upholstery--which was 5yd min.
Looks like the quilters had done a good job of buying up rulers, stencils, etc. (i.e. no size 12 machine needles and no 45mm rotary blades when I was in). Also they are no longer honoring any other discounts or coupons as a liquidation company actually bought them when they ended up not getting financial backers when they filed for bankruptcy/Chap 11.
I bought so many things that I know I will use or needed--didn't melt the plastic credit card (also only taking credit card or cash--no checks)but glad I live 45miles from the nearest one so I don't go again!
