    Red face Hobby Lobby fabric

    I have made a quilt using all Hobby Lobby Fabric. The fabric has held up well. Sorry the picture is not in focus.
    I like using the coupon on fabric at Hobby Lobby. Have fun fabric shopping!

    I have only had a problem with one piece that I bought there. I prewashed and it just lost all body and frayed like crazy.
    Good luck with all other fabric but still not the same as LQS fabric.

    It is like most fabric purchases. You just have to be discriminating in what you buy. I have bought expensive fabric from LQS that turned out to be less than desirable and fabric from HOBBY LOBBY, Walmart, online, etc that was fine.

    No problems here. I was looking for a specific fabric that was discontinued several years ago and found a bolt at Hobby Lobby, so their fabrics may not be the newest line. OK by me!

    Our Hobby Lobby carries Kona Cottons and other brand name fabrics.

    I have bought quite a bit of fabric from Hobby Lobby. I have found their fabric quality to be better than JoAnn's.

    You will love Hobby Lobby... don't forget the coupon as others have mentioned... I just really wanted to tell Quilty-Louise how much I love her avatar!!
    And I, too, am happy that a new Hobby Lobby is opening soon a few miles closer to us than the others in OKC...

    I like HL fabric. I think the quality is inbetween Joann and LQS. However they do carry Kona at a cheaper price than Joanns- always 30% off. I have seen the same fabric at HL and LQS so the quality must be similiar. Also they often have 50% off sales on their "sew-ology" brand notions. Also if you have a 40% coupon you can ask the fabric cutter to mark the fabric at regular price and then have it rung up at 40% off at the register. However they only take one coiupon per day and they do not accept other store coupons. Also they have a good/cute selection of home decorating stuff and crafts!

    Yes, Hobby Lobby has nice fabric. I've made quilts with it and they are great quilts. As with any fabric, from any store, I always do the 'hand' test... touching and feeling for quality. Our local Hancock's Fabrics has gotten so bad that most of the fabric fails the 'hand' test-- feels like cardboard. But I haven't run into that at Hobby Lobby. Their prices are really good, too. The quilting cottons are always 30% off. Go ahead and try some!

    The only complaint I would have about Hobby Lobby's fabrics is that they keep the same prints forever, it seems like. You can go in once a year and find the same stuff in there. I wish they would rotate what they carry more often.

    I buy fabric from them all the time but I go by how the fabric feels and the light test. If I hold it up and can see through it goes back on the shelf, but of course I do that with all fabric.
