| - If you need fabric, this is the place to go if you don't mind the slightly higher prices. But grab a number because this department is busy! We were among the youngest people here, not counting the kids with their mommies. If you go on a holiday weekend, be prepared to wait! There are sales which means lower prices. The fabric I was getting was for making handbag dustbags, so it was 50% off. We had a pretty long wait- maybe a half hour.
If you need jewelry supplies, I was very disappointed to find out that there are no semi-precious stones here. The findings selection was very good though. The other beads (crystal/swarovski imitation beads, plastic, glass and fake pearls) are in good supply but that's not what I wanted. The kits, cord, wire and chain selection was pretty good- but about the same as Michael's. Since, there are no semi-precious beads here, there really isn't any reason to come here anymore. I found some cute metal charms for a bracelet- hearts and music signs.
All the other hobby departments are good- holiday/seasonal, baskets, wedding, ribbon, scrapbooking, framing, etc. We did find a cute turkey hanging for Thanksgiving (we have an abundant Christmas holiday decorations supply, so much that we cannot by anything else- hey, we love Christmas.) on sale so the visit here wasn't a total loss.
The line to pay was pretty long too. Yes, another wait for another line. But the cashier was nice and the crowd wasn't rowdy or impatient- guess they were happy with the sales.
