I went over to Michaels today for some scrapbooking and beading supplies and walked back to the "sewing area" and they have started carrying fabric...not alot but what they had was cute...it looks like they were re-doing the store and in the past, the sewing area has consisted of about 5 colors of thread, scissors, mats, rotary cutters and a small section of books, sometimes they have pins and needles but not always...they also had a much larger section of thread to match the fabrics they got in....looked at a few...didn't feel too bad...will have to check them out better the next time I go....they had bolts, layer cakes, charms packs and mini jelly rolls and then plains to match each grouping.

How exciting! I hope my nearest Michaels decides to carry some fabric...always nice to have another option!

Interesting.... We have Michaels her in Ontario too, They have a fairly decent notions area for sewing, also Olfa mats and rulers. I wonder if they will start carrying fabric?

Interesting. Hobby Lobby moved in across the street from our Michaels and JoAnn's is a couple of blocks away. Not sure if they would start carrying fabric there or not. Thanks. Will have to check it out.

Every Michael's I have been at have a few fat quarters hidden in a small corner of the store. The fabric is not the best quality and they are pre-folded around card board that is not acid free. If they are not on sale they can be very expensive too.

I hope that my Michaels will start having their own fabric section soon. Then my craft addictions will be at a one stop shopping :-) :-)

Awesome. We are getting a Michael's, it is supposed to be opening early next month. I hope ours has fabric. We have one fabric store in town and a store that specializes in upholstry fabric but also has cotton remenants that are bad but it would be nice to have more of a selection.

Last I checked our Michael's did not have fabric, but I'll check again and see. Thanks.

Hmmm...My Michaels is right next to my Big Lots....

I didnt think Micheals had fabric. I will have to check !

That's interesting. All of our Michael's stores clearanced out and discontinued their fabric (which consisted of fat quarters and fat quarter bundles) last summer.

I will have to visit them again soon.

I need to check out our Michaels. It opened about three weeks ago. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they have fabric. Another place to shop for fabric, how fun that would be!

I asked about fabric at one Michael's I visited recently and they looked at me like I had three heads or something and told me to go to Joann's down the road.

I'll have to check it out this week.

Quiltforme 02-13-2011 09:53 PM

Ohh I liked when they carried charm packs I will have to go see what they might have at mine!

jajudd24 02-13-2011 09:56 PM

i found out yesterday the michaels in bakersfied now has fabric just by chance. my boyfriend wanted some model cars and told me i could get whatever i wanted in the store... they were kind of expensive for their prices, so i went with some new knitting needles and some yarn..

Tink's Mom 02-14-2011 01:27 PM

I checked at the Michael's near me...no fabric...but it is an old store. Next time I am near the other one, I'll check it out...it is bigger and only a year or two old.
