The Hancock's in Hendersonville, TN closed down 2 years ago. Some of their fabric was alright but there was alot of cheap looking fabric. I shop at Joann's occasionally, if I have too, but rather shop at a couple of Quilting shops in Lebanon, Tn. Joann's personnel acts like they wish you would go away, so that's why I prefer private quilting shops.

We have one in LaCrosse, WI and I really like it. They have a great selection of fabrics but many are quite expensive. However the have 40% off sales and sometimes $2 off a yd so that's always a good time to buy. Also I have a Hancock discount card so get a little off some items. A couple of their staff are quilters and they are always willing to help you select fabric for a pattern when they have time.

Our JoAnn's closed several years ago, but we still have a Hancock's, which is about 30 miles from me. I have two quilt shops I love to shop at, one in Panama City, FL and one in Crestview, FL. I don't like Hancock's because they have furniture, etc. on one half of the store and fabric on the other. I like a lot of fabric to choose from and if I want to shop for furniture, etc. I'll go to a furniture store, but the cost of quilt shop fabric seems to be forever going up, but it is great fabric.

well of course a shop owner would say that. not all shop owners, to be sure. most are ethical and wouldn't trash the competition like that. :hunf:
hancock's fabrics run nearly the whole Snooty Scale ... from 1 to 8. (scale is 1 to 10)
and here's a news flash. not all LQS carry 9s and 10s.
so there.
