Default Hobby Lobby

I apologize if this subject has already been discussed. Has anyone used the fabric (cotton, denim, flannel) from Hobby Lobby? Is the quality okay? I basically use these three fabrics in my sewing and I wanted to know if they are good. Besides making quilts, I also make doll clothes and matching outfits for my granddaughter. The fabrics would have to hold up to frequent laundering. Thanks for your help.

I find the fabric at Hobby Lobby is like all the stores. Some is good , some is not. You just have to go and touch it. I used to have a friend who would call and ask if I wanted to go fondle fabrics with her.

I do use HL fabric and love the 40% off coupons. The only complaint I have is the fabric never seems to change.

I depend upon Hobby Lobby when I want predictable themed fabrics. Mine has a good selection and their clearance items are sometimes a good deal.

I needed denim backing for a customer tshirt quilt and shopped at HL. They had 3 weights of denim. I ended up buying the middle grade, and it laundered beautifully! Hope this helps.

I loved the clearance at my HL in Allen, TX. But, the HL here does not seem to have very good clearance.

I really like Hobby Lobby fabric. I feel the fabric and if I like the way it feels, then I buy it. The 40% off coupons are just the icing on the cake.
