It's definitely not the chain it used to be before their massive expansion push. The flannels are much thinner, the same fabrics are there forever and the sales are not nearly as good as they used to be. They have dropped many of the name brands they used to carry. Returns are a nightmare because the owner does not believe in computer registers so everything is done by hand. I used to love to shop there but noticed a big change 5 years ago. I tried the stores when they finally reached Cal. but was so disappointed that I no longer shop there even though we now have 2 stores within 10 miles. The fabric I purchased 5-10 years ago is still the best in my stash.

Ditto about using their 40% off coupons! I don't know if all HL's do it, but if you forget your paper coupon, you can pull it up on your phone, show it to them, and they'll take it too. They let you use 1 coupon per person, so DH and I always check out separately so we can use 2 coupons. :) We've got 3 HL stores within 15-25 minutes of our house, but I recently found out that they're putting in another store just a mile away! DH groaned, but he can't say much, because we're also getting a Bass Pro Shops and a Cabella's! :D I would love to have a fabric store closer to me...it just might cut down on my internet fabric addiction, er shopping habit.. Nice quilt, copycat! K |
It doesn't matter where you buy fabric, Jo ann's, Wal-Mart or elsewhere, it is where it is made that matters so checking each piece out is more important then where you buy it.
|
Ones I've brought are really good quality. Always have my HL coupon to use too.
|
Most of the fabric is good...but you do have a few so-so mixed in.
|
I love their fabric and their price!

We just got a Hobby Lobby here and I'm so excited!!! At last I have a place to get quilting supplies and they've got a really nice selection of fabric but I do want to ask everyone a question about their fabric. Have you used it? Does it seem to be good quality? Has it held up well in your quilts that have been washed several times? Thanks!!! :)

i love Hobby Lobby fabric at our store they have a great selection and when i go in there to look it doesnt seem to be such a Mad House like jo anns. ever since our Joanns turned into a suoper store the quality of some of there fabric and there friendly staff has gone down hill
|
I just found out we are going to get a Hobby Lobby. I have never seen one and never been in one.
|
I find both high and low quality fabrics at HL. So just look at them well and compare the weight and hand of the fabric. Overall the quality is not as good as the LQS but prices are lower too!
