Where are they located?
Thank you for the heads up.
oooo, really? wtheck. thanks for the information.
Think I can get a good deal on a French Curve?
Oh, thank God they waited til we left. If they'd closed up while the wife was still there I'd still be moving all her fabric and quilting shi...stuff. I moved about 48000 lbs of it as it is. She could outfit a Costco-sized fabric store.
Possibly, although they're pretty inexpensive on Amazon. Joann's has them, and right now, Joanns has some killer coupons. Or you may luck out at the thrift store or a yard sale.Quote:

I just checked their home page. No coupons, discounts or sales prices, just their 20-50% off of everything.
GEEZE. :(
Oh, and for those of you that don't know, there's a site online that has much the same as Hancock, with terrific prices and coupons:
www.wawak.com Material, notions, machines...Hancock's absence will be felt, but Wawak sure makes the hurt go away that much quicker.
Bailey Guns, I am officially jealous. But I'm also working on my own hoard of fabric...
Why wouldn't Joann's just go buy all of Hancock's stock?
I was looking for colored ribbing at Joann's today and am feeling way over my head.
Good question- who knows?Quote:

I can't discuss the project right now, as it's supposed to be a surprise gift.
Cool. Well, there's supposed to be at last one employee whose main job on the floor is to answer questions and assist customers with their 'project needs', so keep that in mind.
Maybe they're in almost as bad shape as Hancock is ... a lot of businesses that appear stable and solid are on shaky grounds these days (if you think the economy is in anywhere near the good condition or even "recovering" as the MSM and Obama Regime are telling you, well you're going to be in for a shock ... and probably soon).Quote:

The liquidation company that bought out Hancock's paid @ $65 million, so they're going to want to recoup their money. I spoke with one of the employees, who said the company figured this sale would go on for a couple of months, because they also had to empty the warehouses. Judging with how busy it was (I waited in line for @ 1/2 hour, and they had four very efficient people at the cutting counter) I don't know if that's the case.
You may have better luck on their website, although that may be tricky if you have a specific color you're seeking.Quote:

Nearly forgot. Hobby Lobby is discounting all their Coats brand thread to make room for their Hobby Lobby brand thread.

Did I pull up the wrong site? Whats going on? And plus one for wawak.com Ordered a ton of suspender buttons that were way better than the ones available locally and about !/2 price.
