I'll look on Thursday. Our Ben Franklin mostly has batiks. Being on an island and all. But they also carry fat quarters. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Ben Franklin has been in Battle Creek for a long time-moved several times but now the small store has a "store closing" sign in the window. I don't know when the store will actually close. With Hobby Lobby, Joann's, Walmart and Michael's, I am sure that BF cannot compete.

Thank you so much Shemjo

I think there is a Ben Franklin in Tremonton, UT. What do you need?

I went to the Ben Franklin's here today at lunch. Sorry, they didn't have that fabric. I was told each Ben Franklin's store orders their fabric independ from the other stores.

I just passed one yesterday, it is in Broadway, VA. I was running late, so I did not bother stopping in. Surprise, surprise, my dh stopped in sometime 6-8 weeks ago and talked to the one in charge of the fabric section. He told me each store is independently owned and operated., they just use the name. Thus using different fabric contractors at each store.

Thanks yall. I ordered it from the online store that Athomesewing gave me. Thanks very much. Shipping was much more reasonable.
