Same as any other place, some good fabric, some not so much!

I personally am very happy with it! I found that most of the fabrics are better than those at our local Hancock Fabrics. I wait until they have the 40 or 50% off coupons and then go get 3-5 yards of a fabric I 'need' to add to my ever-growing stash. I have purchased Legacy Studios from Joann's, and in my opinion Hobby Lobby fabric compares to that.

I've shopped at our Hobby Lobby and, like anywhere else, there's good and bad fabric. It can get a little pricey and sometimes there isn't a lot of variety - or at least not in what I'm looking for, but I can generally find something that works with what I've got going on. I have found great buys on twill, denim and other such fabrics. There's a decent selection of drapery and upholstery fabric but I don't use much of that. The fleece selection is generally decent. I guess it all depends on the store, I know the one here in town carries more than one in the next town and the one in my Mom's hometown carries more than here. I like Hobby Lobby for a lot of things they carry, not just fabric.

Our local Hobby Lobby is decent with fabric. It has good variety of types of fabrics, calicos, fleece, decorator bolts, seasonal, kids, religious (judeo-christian) and ours has a large section on ribbons, comparable to our Joann's. What i am disappointed in is the notions. They are poopy on notions. One brand, one size, black and white. Thread section is not really great. But I have had good luck with the fabrics.
I am lucky, Peoria has one, and Bloomington has one. I live between them both so I can check out. And it is like a Walmart in that each store has its own emphasis. If the manager is a sewer and quilter you have a fair choice, if they are crafters then that is their biggest section.
