5 reviews for Hancock Fabrics
At some point, the entire store was remodeled. There is still an array of random useless junk like wrought iron flower stands, but it's better than before. The store no longer looks like it was straight out of 1973 and the layout is clear.
Hancock still has some of the best sales around on notions and patterns, but I'm not thrilled with the cotton fabrics. They are all located towards the front of the store, but there is a definite lack of designers like Alexander Henry and Robert Kaufman. Overall, it's an alright place!

Hancock Fabrics, you naughty temptress! I was only going to stop in to the Michael's next door, but… Read more »
I find this store really frustrating. It's pretty small, and kind of disorganized and tends to be a mess. It's often understaffed and the employees aren't in much of a hurry. They just recently upgraded the registers to computers (it was very old school before that), but as of my last purchase they still hand-write the fabric size & number when they cut it, and sometimes errors are made and prices are wrong. They share a parking lot with 2 strip malls and it is often crowded - if you have to go in the winter when there is snow - ugh! Unless I'm being lazy or am in a hurry, I would rather drive out to one of the Jo-Ann stores (Countryside or Chicago) where the selection is way better.
A little small. I feel like between this place and the Michael's next-door they make one Jo-Ann's. Still, they had what I needed and it was on sale, though it seems like something is on sale here all the time. Even something that wasn't labeled as on sale actually was. And its defintely much closer than any Jo-Ann's.
Nice, clean, rarely crowded.
i like this hancock's a lot. Big and a very, very good selection of craft items along with the usual yarn/fabric/etc.
