I LOVE how neat and clean their store is. There are some name brand quilting cottons sold there. I am mainly a charity quilter and they have some wonderful fabric at great prices.

I, too, am a charity quilter and I love to browse Hobby Lobby's selection of fabrics. I have never been disappointed in any of my fabrics. I have recently begun to crochet and they have a really nice selection of crochet yard, thread, hooks and books. I just love that store.

I bought some Hobby Lobby fabric a few months ago. I bought some of what I call blenders, (some name like Classic Creations, I think). The solids were very stiff and I would pass on that again. Their prints seem to be better though.

I love their fabrics. If you have a smart phone, you can download their app and always have a 40% off coupon with you. They do have a lot of fabric always at 30% off, but if you want to use the 40% off coupon, tell the girl when she is cutting it, and she will write it up at full price, then you show your coupon at check-out.

At my Hobby Lobby, the clerk always asks if I have the 40% off coupon ... and when I do, she writes down the real price and then the coupon is used for that one fabric. It is only good for one piece of fabric. (Do I ever buy just one piece, no....but I use the coupon for the largest amount I am buying.)

Hobby Lobby is the only fabric store near us so I shop there all of the time. I've found some beautiful brand name fabrics and they also have a lot of great holiday fabrics, (their Halloween line is particularly cute this year). I don't have a smart phone so I print off a few coupons every week to keep in my purse, just in case!

I worked in fabric stores for years so I know what to look for. Fabric that seems thin, too shiny, or has bad color registration, (the print is off), are ones I never purchase. I have passed by some fabrics at Hobby Lobby because the weave was too loose and you could easily see through it. Also, a lot of their cottons are brushed so they're a little stiff for quilting.

My main complaint is that they don't add new fabrics often enough! But deals like .99 patterns and notions at 50% off make up for that. All in all, if you have a Hobby Lobby coming to town I think you'll be pleased. Their regular prices are a little high in the rest of the store, but the 40% off coupons make it worthwhile to shop there for all kinds of stuff.

I have a hard time going into Hobby Lobby b/c of my asthma, the scents are a big trigger for me. But I do like their fabric and occasionally risk it to check out their fabrics. All the fabric I have bought there has been good quality and good price.

Shop there all the time and never had any problem with
the fabric. After going to Joann"s today I would highly
recommend HL over Joann's. Seems like there quality
is getting worse. Their premium fabric line was terrible.

*** I like their fabric.
***
*** If you have 40% coupons and they run the fabric at 30% off
*** tell them to write up at full price and you can use the coupon and save the extra 10%.
***
*** You would not have been able to use the coupon if the product was on sale.
