I live about 2 hours north of MaryJo's I love to go there. Their fabric selection is incredible and prices are pretty good. I always buy too much. I hope I get to go atleast one time before Christmas.

I just got back from Marshalls and was in fabric overload!!! You do have to watch the quality of a few fabrics, but most are top quality with extremely LOW prices. I just wish that there were one closer to my home. But then again I would be continually broke LOL Let us know what you decide. :D

I buy from Marshall's online all the time. I would be in A LOT of trouble if there was an actual store near me!

I made a special 3 hour drive to go to Marshall's Dry Goods and it was worth it! I got lots of Thimbleberries and other name brand cottons at a great price. I think it was $2.99 a yard. They have backing fabric prepackaged that is very nice as well and I used one and was very happy with the result. I don't know about the other store you mentioned.

I've never been to Marshalls in fact I'm just hearing about it from this message. I have though been to mary jo's and I'm saving my money to make another trip with 2 friends. Also we go to Long Creek Mills for threads etc. You need a list when going and they dont have carts so be prepared to tote your bolts or bring DH with you.

Just got out of Marshall's! I was really good - only spent $200 but got Kaufman, Windham, Marcus Bros, etc.. I was so excited about the Kaufman at $3.99/$3.29 a yard....

I COULD have spent a whole ton more but it's hard to keep a budget in such a place! I was afraid I'd be overwhelmed and I was! I did not go over on the wholesale side - I was afraid to!!
