Was a shitty company. Such disrespect for sewing, and for fabric. And for sewists.

They were not good stewards of the needle arts, hawking bath gel and candy and cheap household decorations and crowding the fabric so only one cart at a time could wend through the isles…. Never enough employees and long lines to pay. Not just towards the end- this was their model. And now we have nothing- and No I’m not going to Hobby Lobby.
