Hobby Lobby originated here in Oklahoma City. As others have written, their stores are huge with always good sales for crafts & home decor. Their calicos are always 30% off the price on the end of the bolt, and every other week there's a coupon, both in your newspaper and on line for 40% off the regular price. You can sign up on line to get their weekly specials, including the coupon, which you can print out. I do wish they had more fabric, but usually I can find something I can use at a reasonable price.
I'm glad you're getting a Hobby Lobby in your town. It is run by very ethical people, it seems. They're not all over the country yet, but are growing.

You can use the 40% coupon in fabric that is on sale if you tell the clerk you want to use the coupon before the fabric is cut.There is a limit of ten yards for one coupon and one coupon per customer per day ( you get the 40% not the 30%). You can not use the coupon on anything that has a yellow clearance price sticker.

I have heard that all the new stores opening in 2012 will have scanners and the other stores will be retro fitted as the system allows.

I work for Hobby Lobby. We carry everything from fabrics to scrapbooking. HL has a huge home accents department that has many unique things for your home. The thing to remember is this...never pay full price for anything. It will be on sale at one time or another. They have 40% off coupons every other week. The closer it gets to Christmas, the coupons will be every week. Enjoy the store. I believe you will like it.

All of the comments are right on.I'd like to add that if you go to their website, www.hobbylobby.com and sign up they will send you coupons via e-mail and you will get them every week.

I would like to comment on the remark about HL not using scanners....understand this...HL is a Christian store. The owner, David Green, believes that bar codes are tied to the Mark of the Beast. He may very well be right. You have to work there to understand.

HL has nice fabric and more tone on tone choices than our Hancock Fabrics. I often use the 40% off coupon for batting or backing. Sign up to receive coupon and sale notifications from HL. The come to your inbox every Sunday and every other Sunday includes the 40% off coupon. The cottons and calicos are on sale 30% off all the time so $10/yd Norcott fabric is really $7/yd.

I am surprised your stores do not have scanners, our stores here in Illinois do have the scanners and has had them several years.
