Hi I use to go to this Hancock Fabrics on Hwy. 5 in Douglasville all the time I had to drive 45 minutes to get there as it was the closest one to me and it was worth the drive however, I drove over to that location December 22,2007 and it was closed down and no sign of where they may have relocated. I was completely disappointed. Please let me know of the other location if they just moved I need Hancock Fabrics. Thanks very much

Hancock has just about every fabric you can imagine. They are always super friendly and I usually spend an extra 15 or more minutes in there chatting away with the ladies that work there. I always love to see what they have on the tables for $1.95 /yd or less. I always have a hard time deciding what to buy because they have so much.
PROS: fantastic selection of fabric and great service
CONS: would like more selection of other craft items

This store is rather large and carries a lot more than just fabric, but, let's start there. They have all kinds of fabric, from the latest synthetics to pure wools, silk, cotton, and leather. Need fake fur, this is the place. Here you can purchase patterns, sewing machines, notions, thread, etc. they also cater to crafts with a large selection of knitting yarn and needles, crocet hooks, embroderie yarn, patterns, and hoops. A small section at the front of the store features home accessories. Prices are very competitive.

Sewing is a skill like carpentry or being a chef and a fabric store is a speciality shop pretty much. Being someone who has no idea how to sew and going in without a friend who does is like going to Home Depot and wanting to build a deck with no building experience or knowledge and expecting them to walk you through and teach you how to hammer. Most people male or female in a fabric store know what they want and enjoy browsing and do not want to be interrupted. If we have questions we know what we want to ask the salesperson. Anytime you are attempting a new skill it is a good idea to bring someone who knows what to look for. I sorry you had a bad experience for your first time

I found the Longmont Hancock Fabric a quality fabric store in which to shop. I find what I need and the staff is friendly and helpful. When I needed advice on a machine I didn't purchase there, they were still just as helpful as if I had purchased it from them.

Hancock Fabrics has a wide selection of merchandise. Sign up on their mailing list to save you even more. The employees are always their if you need their help. They also hold different types of workshops. They also carry a variety of sewing machines, sewing kits and accessories. Their prices are very good and comparable to other fabric stores.

Loved the fabric, but found that MANY on the sale racks were NOT on sale at the checkout counter. I was extremely disappointed, and was significantly overcharged (5 yeards @ 5.99 - on 50% off table with no discount at all). They seem to be very unorganized.The fabric in question was not a "fish out of water". It completely matched the description on the sign and was totally the same type of fabric as the others on that rack.

I loved this store too, but it closed a while ago. I used to buy craft stuff for my job (a teacher) there. Now the closest store is in Redlands. BOO HOO!

The same fabrics and notions and crafts you have come to expect from a chain fabric store. Good prices, good selection.
But here is the fun part. My friend A____ worked at Handcock for a year or so. She loves to sew. She used to spend lots of money on fabric, more fabric, etc. Once she joind Handcock, she was able to (once the manager approved each item) get the fabric, thread and pattern FREE. In exchange she would bring in the completed item for display for 4-6 weeks. She even got to do her knitting projects this way. Highly recommended!

Hancock Fabrics in Oceanside is well lit and kept in an orderly state. Materials are sorted by type and then by color. There are a few shelves set aside which hold specially priced items. In addition, there is a series of discount tables towards the back; the last few of which are specifically for interior design fabrics. Hancocks interior design section is easy to search through, with the newest/trendiest materials displayed on stands. There is a section with lamps, finished furniture, and other items for the home. Along the far wall shoppers can find tools, needles, elastics, and other notions for sewing. There is a fair representation for other crafts; a display for yarn, embroidery floss, a wall of buttons, and items of similar nature to name a few.

Hancock has a nice selection of fabrics, ribbons, buttons, and sewing supplies as well as upholstery fabrics. It's well organized, bright, and easy to find what you're looking for. We've found the staff to be friendly and helpful. During the holidays, they have a nice selection of decorative items.

Hancock has an excellent collection of fabric
and material. If you sign up for their mail notice,
its worth getting the coupons and bargain
notices in the mail.

Hancock Fabrics is definitely the place to go if you're looking for some specific fabrics or other art supplies. They have tons of knitting things, as well as just about any fabric under the sun. They always have some good specials on their inventory, so be sure to check the local ad often and get in there while theres a sale. Service is also on par with other stores, nothing too special there. Overall, a good place to shop for anything you need when it comes to fabrics.
PROS: Huge selection of fabrics, low prices, lots of sales
CONS: None
