Hobby Lobby keeps fabric costs low without cutting corners on hand-feel or print clarity, so you can stock up for big projects without second-guessing the yardage.
Most in-store and online fabrics hover around $7.49 to $7.99 per yard, a full dollar or two below specialty fabric chains, letting you buy extra yardage for test cuts and seam allowances without sticker shock.
The rotating weekly coupon knocks 40 percent off a single cut of fabric, meaning that $7.99 cotton drops below $5 for the piece you need most, and the deal resets every seven days so you can plan multiple trips.
Hobby Lobby stocks most quilting and apparel fabrics on standard 44- to 45-inch bolts, so pattern layouts and yardage math stay predictable across visits – no guessing whether a bolt is 36 inches or 60.
Walk past the cutting table and you will often spot a rolling cart of end-of-run bolts marked down 50 to 75 percent, perfect for scrappy quilts or costume mockups where exact color matching is not critical.
Need just a quarter-yard for a binding strip or appliqué accent? Hobby Lobby will cut as little as one-quarter yard on most bolts, so you pay only for the fabric you actually use instead of rounding up to a full yard.
Hobby Lobby’s website displays real-time inventory and pricing for your local store, allowing you to compare costs before you visit and ensuring you get the best deal without needing to call ahead or guess at discounts.

For quilters who measure success in decades, not projects, Kona Cotton Solids is the canvas that endures. This 100% combed cotton fabric, manufactured by Robert Kaufman, has a smooth, even weave that holds its structure through countless washes and generations of use. Its 60-inch width minimizes seams on larger quilts, while the consistent 4.3-ounce weight per square yard ensures blocks lay flat and points match…
Walking into the fabric aisle can feel overwhelming. This guide cuts through the noise, explaining the two core fabric types and helping you pick the right material for your first pillow, bag, or simple garment.
Measured in ounces per square yard, weight determines how the fabric handles. Lighter fabrics (under 4 oz) suit curtains and scarves, while heavier ones (8+ oz) work for upholstery and bags.
Woven fabrics have minimal stretch unless blended with spandex. Knit fabrics stretch naturally and bounce back, which matters for fitted garments and anything that needs to flex.
Higher thread counts in wovens mean a smoother, tighter surface. A percale cotton at 200 thread count feels different from a 60-count muslin-denser, softer, and more durable.
Cotton breathes and presses easily. Polyester resists wrinkles and fading. Blends combine benefits but may pill over time. Check the bolt end for the exact fiber percentage.
A large floral may disappear on a small cushion but look stunning on a quilt back. Always unroll a full yard from the bolt to see how the repeat actually looks at scale.
Pre-washing cotton fabrics before cutting prevents shrinkage surprises later. Some synthetics are dry-clean only, which adds ongoing cost and effort to your finished project.

Yes, you can return cut fabric within 90 days of purchase, provided you have your original receipt. The fabric must be in its original, unused condition. Returns are processed at the store where you made the purchase, and refunds are issued to the original form of payment.
First, check your pattern’s requirements, which list yardage based on fabric width and your size. If you’re working without a pattern, measure your project’s longest and widest points, add a few inches for seams and shrinkage, and divide by 36 to get yards. A store associate can help you double-check the math.
Always pre-wash and dry your fabric using the same method you plan to use for the finished project. This preshrinks the material and removes any factory sizing or finishes. It’s a crucial step to prevent your garment or quilt from warping after its first real wash.
Most apparel and craft fabrics on the bolts at Hobby Lobby come in a standard width of 44 to 45 inches. This is the industry standard for many cotton, polyester, and cotton-blend fabrics, making it easy to calculate yardage for common projects like garments and quilts.
You can purchase fabric in any increment, including half-yards and quarter-yards. Simply tell the associate at the cutting counter the exact length you need, and they’ll cut it precisely from the bolt. There’s no requirement to buy a full yard at once.
While many fabrics are colorfast, some deep-dyed prints-especially reds and indigos-can bleed. We recommend testing a small, inconspicuous swatch with a damp white cloth before washing. If color transfers, wash the fabric separately in cold water with a color-catcher sheet for the first few cycles.
For over five decades, Hobby Lobby has grown from a single family endeavor into a national presence for makers, sewers, and quilters. Our roots run deep because the same values that started it all still guide every bolt of fabric we stock.
