Hancock Fabrics

They are going out of business. The customer service is wonky but they are loosing their jobs so I was very understanding.

It is a shame they are going out of business. I have not gone here a lot but they always seemed to have what I had been looking for.

The store is closing. This is your average craft store, except everything is on sale! Expect prices to be anywhere from 30% — 60% off. There is still a lot of fabric to choose from.
I got enough fabric to make 8 blankets and got other items for cheap!
Make sure to grab a cart as you go in and get ready to shop.

I love Hancock Fabrics!
They have fabric you can’t find anywhere else in Sac and they have a large selection of clearance fabric which is great when I’m trying to stay in budget.
I also love the employees they can be very helpful.

The coupons are not as good as other fabric stores. I bought a 2 pack of fabric erasable markers the light blue was OK but the white was dried up so I payed $ 8.99 for one usable marker… not driving 40 miles to return it… will think twice before I drive that far again… for a not so good product… had to wait in a long line to pay and no bags… had to push the cart out to my car and put everything loose in the back seat… I think it would of been worth the dime for a paper bag? well guess that sums up my trip to Hancock Fabrics???

The staff here is quite possibly THE most unprofessional group of women I’ve ever had to deal with. From the woman near the cutting table complaining over and over again about how nauseated she felt, her friend discussing her daughter’s 16^th birthday party and the cashier working at the speed of molasses I can understand why people prefer to shop at Joann fabrics.
OMG. This is absolutely ridiculous!

Love the people working here. Never a problem using my coupons on sale items.

Now I’m buying serger threads at a good price. My serger instructor says the brand they carry here, Maxi thread, is the most durable. Use their online or paper coupons for a discount. There are regular 40% off sewing supplies annd many fabrics. I buy sewing patterns on the sale days… such a deal. I also have them scan the free shopper card, just in case any bargains are hiding in my pile of purchases. Staff are usually quite cheerful & helpful.

I walked into this store and the cashier was checking out customers who seemed to be regulars from listening to their conversation. She never greeted or acknowledged me. The item I was looking for was right near her register. I stood there trying to find my item with no luck. For a whole three minutes. Still no nothing from the cashier. She never asked if I needed help or said she’d be right with me. She helped a second customer and still never acknowledged I was there. I was frustrated and headed for the door. As I was walking out she still said nothing, but engaged with a third person. All of the patrons were white. As I exited a older black woman was coming in. She also was not greeted. I hesitated to write this, but I’ve experienced things like this many times in my life. Treat all of your customers kindly. Just because I’m black my money is green and spends the same as anyone else’s!

We came here looking for fabric to reupholster some old furniture we just bought and they had exactly what we were looking for at a super reasonable price. Everyone there was extremely helpful, and wanted us to get the best deal possible.

HOnestly I rarely go into a fabric/​craft store but once in a while I do get creative. Hancock Fabrics is close to my work so bonus points for that. The staff are always friendly and helpful. THere’s always a sale going on weekly. I would say the prices are lower than most places.

The best fabrics!!! I made a facinator hat for my daughter and got all the materials here, nice tulles and Bridal lace not to mention trimmings off all kinds.
My husband also goes here for things to fix the interior of his truck so it’s a win win we both get what we want

All around a great fabric store, good selection, reasonable prices, my only gripe is I wish they had a bigger selection of embellished trims etc. All around though, I have to say its my first choice of fabric stores.

Review #200 so here we go.
I love how quiet and peaceful it has been in this store each and every time I’ve come here. No screaming kids running amok or getto trash meandering inside or out.
These are serious pro’s for me.
Even though this fabric store is dare I say it; on the old~school side they have a more than decent selection of all types of fabric and on this last trip we hit a 30−50% off sale on the fabric I was looking for in order to complete a Hawaiian themed get together we’re attending next week. So what was originally priced @ $ 11.99 a yard ended up being $ 6.99/yd. Loved that!
Also the staff on all trips here have all been so friendly and helpful. Case in point Jennifer who helped us earlier this week as I knew there was a product out there that didn’t require you to sew a hem into a piece of material but instead iron it into place & permanently so.
Jennifer jumped on my request and not only walked us over to the area where the product Stitch Witchery was stocked but explained to us how to use it including answering all my questions as to whether to pre wash the material first and the like. They have multiple widths of this Witchery stuff too which makes using it and not having to alter its width to size it down a snap.
LOVE the customer service here and in the area of their needles, threads & Stitch Witchery they stock a very ample selection of them all and at affordable pricing.
They also have a frequent shopper card you can enroll in there at the store and when you use your phone number to log in at the register with it that’s where the discounts showed up verses not using it paying full price. Loved this!
CONS: AC or the lack of it. First week here in Sac for this year that we hit 100 degrees and the stores AC was no where to be found. It was like walking around in a sweat box with not even ceiling fans or fans at all circulating the stale hot air. Asked about it and was told that the AC unit was stone cold busted.
Not sure if this is a regular occurrence for this store however it was brutal and I felt worse for the employees working in said sauna than I did for us the consumer as we could leave at will.
One last area of disgust was the regular sale prices of some awesome home furnishings and decorations for ones home and yard. So many things I wanted to pick up and take home as they were running a 30−50% off sale however their original pricing is over-​inflated by damn near 100% and I am not exaggerating either.
A basic lamp with shade was priced originally at $ 99. A small table with a few built in shelves but nothing special originally priced at $ 199. WHAT??? Hell to the no as even with the discount its all over priced which is probably why ALL their displays for this stuff are so full; no one buys the over-​inflated merchandise including me.
All in all I really enjoy shopping here as the customer service, fabric & supplies for sewing and embroidering are more than decent & I love the frequent shopper card which just saves me more money & their location close to home :)

Hancock Fabrics is the best place to go! They have an excellent variety of fabrics, a good amount of notions and best of all, Spot the Bolt!
I used to think Joann’s was the place to go but now I do most of my fabric shopping at Hancocks. The staff there are all very nice, they don’t wander around looking for people to help but if you need something it’s pretty easy to find someone. I love coming here and the sales are pretty awesome, they text me with coupons.

They always have good sales and seem to have the best deals compared to Joann’s and Hobby Lobby. The staff is always nice too. Fleece is sometimes as cheap as $ 4/​yard. I come here every few months and stock up on supplies. They have a large selection of upholstery fabrics that I really like too.
Hancock also carries a small assortment of home goods and gift items like chairs, stands, wine racks etc…

Called inquirng about a specific product. She said they do carry it, however, wasn’t able to give me any further information. Every question I asked regarding the product was, «I don’t know»…and apparently she was too lazy to find out.
I’ll find what I need elsewhere, thanks.

I found everything I needed (I was making tu-​tus) and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They had a GREAT selection of fabric and trim as well.

Typical Hancock Fabric store. It’s well lit and very clean. The ladies that work here are super nice and willing to help you with any projects. They helped me dig through the remnants bin (50% off!) to get the best price on some typically expensive fabric. They had a huge selection of printed fleece, which are perfect for making scarves and blankets for Christmas presents.
Great for all sewing/​craft and home décor projects. Has all the sewing machine gear and accessories necessary for any sewing kit. Check online for weekly sales prices or sign up for the rewards program for sale information and coupons.

yes i’m a closet sewer, and as much as i miss House of Fabric i’ve found my niche in Hancock’s. screw Jo-Ann’s in the pattern department. Hancock’s has had the one i want every time. some would call it luck but i call it great inventory when sewing is a dying art in a world of mega stores selling cheap clothes.
the gals working there are always very helpful, sweet, and actually care about what your latest project is. i can’t ask for anything better :-)
