    I shop joanns, hobby lobby, wal mart and quilt shops. Basically, a company that supports sewing has my business. I feel so fortunate to have so many choices. Sewing and quilting are great hobbies. I just dont see the need to post so many negative comments on these retail stores. They offer sales and coupons and other ways for us to afford this hobby. Quit the mean spirited comments and get back to sewing

    Joann’s can put things “on sale” “all the time” because their regular prices are jacked up far above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. So they still make a nice profit on items that are “on sale”. Michael’s does the same thing.

    I went to HL last week and the yarn and fabric was depleted. The yarn aisles were wider, hence less shelves for yarn. Home dec was very poor. Used to have so much home dec trims and beaded fringe. Lace was skimped. I was in shock. I went in for the heavy corded gold fringe and wasn't to be found.

    Thank you for the great view of stores and what is happening. In my area Walmart’s are trying to almost get rid of fabric area. They have most of fabric cut in those small packages which I do not like. In my area if Joann close, will be down to Hobby Lobby. Not a place I really care for. There are very few just fabric stores in the area. If there is they are outrageous price. As I am a good sized woman I make all my clothes, plus quilt and sew a lot. I have a sewing machine in front of my chair in the living room. So I am hoping Joann’s stores can stay in business!

    What I noticed is the quality of fabric is not as good Hobby Lobby and they have folks working that department who have no sewing or fabric knowledge. Wal mart has fabric and notions and the quality is again poor. If you read the end bolts many of the fabrics at Joann are from China with better qualities coming from India.

    It’s sad. There’s no one in Hobby Lobby and not much better in JoAnns. I can remember growing up when Fabric stores were a booming place to go. Women were lined up waiting to get their fabric cut. The pattern book tables were packed with women thumbing through the books looking for patterns. It’s just sad how our country sent all of our textile factories overseas. Women once stayed home and took care of their families and they made their own clothes. Now neighborhoods are empty during the week and women have very little time to sew. Just so sad how times have changed and not for the better.

      I'm supposing that Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman would say things have gotten a mite better. At any rate, my mother's field was library science, so she was one of the women who did not have a lot of time to sew. For example, I had to sew my own sewing badge onto my Girl Scout uniform sash.

    I “think” Michael’s is expanding their fabric options. It looks like either they are rolling it out slowly or only offering an expanded fabric selection at certain stores. I dropped into the Michael’s in Plano Texas, the Michael’s off 15th St for a non-sewing craft item and discovered they had a decent selection of Ponte, solid rayon challis, cotton and bamboo jerseys. A check online didn’t seem to have the same selection. It looks like solids, but a decent range of colors. My comment about it being either a rollout or only certain stores was because I decided to pop into a store in a neighboring town while in the area and that store only had quilting cottons, utility fabrics and home dec type canvas. They have carried this for a while. Maybe someone in the know can weigh in, but I thought I should share. ** I should also mention that Michael’s is based in the Dallas Ft Worth area, and that could also be why certain stores here have an expanded selection. They could be testing the market. This particular Michael’s I mentioned is across the street from Hobby Lobby and about half a mile from JoAnn.

    Well, I hope Joann's survives the restructuring. I know we may see a few stores close in the process. However, Hobby Lobby is a no-go for me. I do not nor will I shop at their store. Hobby Lobby is owned by the Green family, David Green being the founder. We all have a right to religious beliefs, but they like to impose theirs onto others and their employees. They also make large contributions to organizations known for their discrimination toward the LGBTQ communities and were staunch opponents of Obamacare.

    Joann's is going out of business. Bankrupt, selling off stock. Im in suburban Chicagoland. I've seen a couple "fabric stores." seemed to focus on fancy fabrics for serious quilting. Decades ago, I worked for Minnesota Fabrics, which became Hancock Fabrics, which went away. Haven't been to Michael's for awhile; I don't recall a huge fabric collection. One keeps seeing these YT channels where the designer "goes downtown" in a neighborhood that was kind enough to spare his life. I like Hobby Lobby, Walmart is hit or miss. Hoping Joann's may reorganize into at least an online presence.
    Do a Google for fabric shops in the radius you are willing to travel, and see what pops up...

    Hobby lobby has extremely went downhill in my opinion. It started with no more 40% coupons. They have become too political and religious, they have greatly reduced the amount of stock and decor items are mostly religious signs, etc. enjoy those things but I want other options as well. I personally haven’t bought anything in there the last three times I’ve shopped at their stores. What a shame. It honestly bums me out.

    I use it love both stores but in the past few years I'm disappointed with both.fabric is not quality and the problem with joanns you have to hunt down someone to help you. I still like hobby lobby for fabric but they have cut back in the last 2to3years. I like the 40%off all fabric is by far cheaper then Joanna for the quality. Hobby lobby is a Christian owned that's why they are closed on the lords Day🙏🐦
