Jo Ann Fabric and Craft Store

I am having much better feelings about this location… Went to buy a few party favors… ended up finding a flag and flag post set. There were about five and the price was 12.99, no sale. Price came up as $ 24.99 at the register. The manager came over (Bridget, I think) made it 12.99, and said they were all in the wrong spot but she would do it for us (Great customer service!!!), she also let us use our 50% off coupon. We only spent 6.99 on the flag post! We also found other good finds and lots of good deals at this location. As I used to not find much here, it’s my new go-​to arts & crafts location.

This store makes me sad. Some departments are OK, but the messy fabric and notions areas make it very hard to find things. Everything’s jumbled together, on the floor, or in the wrong section. I had to look through dozens of racks to find two sets of buttons that matched. I didn’t see anyone tidying or straightening.
The dated, yellowed color scheme is depressing.
The staff are very nice and helpful, but I wonder who manages this place. I’d never let my store look so seedy. The appearance of this store is a big hinderance to a robust business.

Had everything I was looking for to reupholster 2 wingback chairs. Very helpful staff to order and pick up.

They have a good selection of crafts items (not as much as Michaels though) but their selection of fabric sucks! Not a lot of quality and quantity of spandex items and other items that I was looking for. Also the prices are too high for what it was. I come here everytime hoping they’d have new fabric and a better selection and I’m always dissappointed in their selection of fabric. Also the staff aren’t friendly.

i was delighted that the gal on the phone at the store was willing to check to see if they carried the sizes and brands of sewing machine needles before i drove over there. she went back twice and was very kind.

Not 100% sure how this store is still in business. It’s pretty run down and dilapidated. There aren’t a sweet amount of excellent deals or craft classes that would draw people here unlike AC Moore just up the street on Route 1. They have a bigger fabric section, obviously, but next time I’ll just go to AC Moore. Shame, because I used to like Jo-Ann’s a lot (the Braintree one) and most of them have gone under.

Do not let me near this store! I always spend too much money here.
They have a decent selection of fabric — not as much as their rt. 9 Natick store, but it’s still a medium sized store.
A lot of times they have really good sales — I always go to their website before to check out their flyer to see what’s on sale that I need (okay, WANT).
I am a crocheter, so I end up buying a lot of yarn and their yarn selection is pretty good. Not as good as the selection at AC Moore just down the street, but if you need fabric or other basic craft supplies too, Jo-​Ann Fabrics is your one stop shop.
One downfall is that their parking lot is a strange setup. Every time I go there I try to think how their lot could be set up better, but I can never figure it out. It’s annoying that there’s a few other places right next door that always have lots of cars at it, so I can never find a spot right in front. I guess it’s not that long of a walk and there is plenty of parking down past the store, but it’s still a pain if it’s cold or raining.
Either way, Jo-​Ann is my one-​stop shop!

If you have a car and don’t mind slumming it at astrip mall, this is the best place to get all your supplies in one stop. They have fabric, embroidery supplies, special papers for printing on and doing heat transfers, notions, yarn, EVERYTHING.
and also great sales, I got two skeins of brightly colored cotton for $ 3!
