I noticed today that a Hobby Lobby is coming to North Port, Fl. Has anyone got any comments about them like what they have and how they compare to Joanne's Fabric? Thanks for your comments. Sue

When I started going to Hobby Lobby, I was in heaven. They had so many coupons, discounts and %off, that almost every thing was marked down at the check out. Their product is the same, but the discounts are a lot less. Must be the
times we are having, I still go, and hope they stay in open here, as other stores had to cut back too. I`d bet when the
store opens it`s door there will be lots of good deals, start making a list now!

They don't carry nearly as much fabric as JoAnn Fabrics. But, they have some very nice Hobby Lobby Exclusive fabric that they don't sell in other places. Lots of Seasonal decorating items. Lots of scrapbooking stuff. Beautiful Yarns. Lots of DMC. It's a very nice store. I hope you like it as well.

I have a Hobby Lobby here. They carry a few of the same fabrics as Jo'anns. Mostly its a bit higher quality. I have found some very nice fabrics at Hobby Lobby. Look for their sales on Quilting fabrics . They have 30 percent off quite frequently. Mine does not have the amount of quilting fabric as most Jo'anns. But I always seem to leave with a chunk or two .

I like their fabric better than Joann's. It's often on sale (30% off), but there's usually a coupon (40% off any one item) and you can show it to the employee writing up your order so that the reg. price is recorded instead of the sale price so you can use the coupon. Go to HobbyLobby.com and click on the "in store specials" link to get it. Usually the coupon is 40% off any one item, but sometimes it rotates with 40% off a specific brand or type of item.

As the others said, they don't have nearly the quantity of fabric as Joann's. However, I think what they have is better - both in the quality of the fabric and in the colors/prints they offer.

We have several Hobby Lobby stores, within driving distance. Some are better stocked, than others. They generally have a good fabric selection and almost always have something on sale.

If you have a smart phone, you can get the current coupon and just show it to the cashier. Through your search engine (mine is Safari), go to mobile.hobbylobby.com. I just keep the site on my phone; it automatically updates, each week.

There's a Hobby Lobby in Fort Myers that is very nice. The gentleman in the fabric department is very helpful.

We have Hobby Lobby in Daytona Beach and I shop at one in Salisbury, MD when we're north. The fabric is better than a lot that JoAnn's carries although the selections are limited. The stores are amazing - fabric, crafts, home decor. Take time to look up and down every aisle. I guess it's more modern and not the cutsie craftsy stuff that JoAnn's has, not so much country stuff.

I found the Hobby Lobby is way overpriced and the sales aren't as good as Joannes. More crafts than fabrics and a lot of things I really find Tacky...like a dollar store Pier One

I enjoy my Hobby Lobby. We just got a JoAnn's which I like too, but find I still go to Hancocks, Hobby Lobby and JoAnns. they each have something to offer. Hobby Lobby fabric has performed well for me.
