    You can only use that 40 off coupon on regular priced cloth. Some and I repeat some will charge you the full price on things so you can you use the 40 off. Beware! This changes from store to store!

    Never been to a Hobby Lobby… there is a pretty big one nearby. I won't shop there because of "what they stand for."
    I go to Joann's, or LQS, or online… depending on what I am looking to buy.

    Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree there. I haven't found anything about them I don't like!

    You can also shop HL online and get a lot of different fabric. I got some Alexander Henry and some Kaufman---very good quality in the brand names. Plus a good return policy if you are dissatisfied

    We are discussing fabric and the love of quilting not your political stance on a business you are obviously uninformed about please stick quilting as this is what the forum is for.

    As with most big stores, I need to judge the fabric as quality will vary from bolt to bolt. Some mfgs. make a lower quality fabric for discount stores, but not all. I hold it up to the light and if I can see through it, I don't buy it. But nowadays, I've felt so many fabrics, I can usually tell just by fee.

    I have mixed feelings-i have used their fabric with no problem but get annoyed at the coupons policy. 1 per day doesn't help if I am trying to buy yarn for a project when it's not on sale. 1 skein at a time just doesn't cut it. I feel much of their stuff is overpriced when it isn't on sale. While using coupons at Joanns can be frustrating at times, they will use as many as they can for you.

    We have a newer one in our area, and they have a big selection of fabric. But, the quality isn't very good. I don't usually buy fabric there, but sometimes I shop at JoAnn's. Their less expensive fabrics are better than what our HL has. But, so many quilt stores in our area have closed that I always try to support our local quilt store. I often shop at eQuilter.com because they have just about everything I search for. Don't like HL social policies either.

    Hobby Lobby has good fabric, just be careful that what you choose has a soft hand(how it feels). If you choose a fabric that feels stiff, it won't get any better ever; even if you wash and dry it.

    I love HL and their fabric! Two of my show quilts are from their fabric. I like to support businesses that are Christian and run their store that way!
