Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft

I was here to get some sewing stuff for my mom as a gift. I had no idea that there was a store this big just for sewing stuff. Honestly blew my mind!

Consistently slow service. I’ve been to this location multiple times and it has never taken me less than 30 minutes to checkout. There is always some sort of computer system glitch and usually only one person working the registers. It’s a shame because this store is spacious with a great selection, but I find myself actively avoiding the store because a quick trip here is never truly quick.

I love going to this new Jo-Ann’s location and glad it’s moved from the Hayward Winton Ave location. It’s much bigger, cleaner, organized, more selections and parking is so much better! Good customer service as well. I know I gave one of the young ladies a hard time cuz my ass was so undecided on the selections they had of the huge collection of cloths but hey, she never showed any complaints of being annoyed at me! Haha Kudos lady! Damn, I forgot her name! :)
And they still have their coupons! Gotta love a deal! I always use it when I get them. If it were my choice, I prefer here than Michael’s. They have artsy stuff as well for my needs so I will be back! ;-)

Wow, I haven’t reviewed this place and I’ve almost been here 100 times. I probably have, if I’m being honest. Haha! That’s because they have such a large selection of fabric and craft supplies. Not only do they have sales, but you can also find coupons for anywhere from 40 to 60% off regular priced items. That and there are even additional 20% off your entire purchases as well.
The fabric section includes: quilting fabrics and notions, printed novelty flannels, woven flannels, denims, tulles, their own adorable printed fleeces, outdoor, upholstery– basically everything. As for crafts, they have mason jars in various sizes, stretched canvases, photo frames, yarns, die cut stencils, scrapbooking supplies, baking supplies, jewelry, and a smaller floral section.
I’ve found that their online inventory of fabric is accurate. At least, it has been when I’ve looked something up prior to stopping by the store. Don’t forget to take a number at the cutting counter before you stand there and wait your turn. It’s like an actual deli, but better because you can browse other things while you wait.
Queue up your smartphone and turn up your brightness to maximum. And pull up any email or app coupons while you wait. It’ll make your checkout much faster. I know that some people lose reception and are unable to load coupons while in the checkout line. In which case, run out of the store to load and run back in. Happy fabric and craft shopping!

Honestly, this is the best fabric/​craft superstore in the South Bay area (and I’ve been to pretty much all of them). If you’re looking for basic and somewhat fancy fabrics, they’ve got it, and typically for a decent price, especially if you wait for a sale or use coupons. If you’re looking for basic craft supplies for a variety of arts/​crafts, they’ve probably got the basics. If you’re looking for specialty fabric/​tools or you’re looking for absolutely rock-​bottom prices, this might not be your place, but for the average customer, this store is perfect. Well-​lit, clean, A/​C, wheelchair-​accessible, lots of parking, not going to give you an asthma attack (unlike some local bargain basement-​type stores that will not be named). Be ready to wait in line at the cutting counter and at the registers if it’s a busy day, and bring coupons or your phone (get the app).

Great parking, big store with tons of selections of all arts and crafts. I came for skeins (a lot of them!!) (yarn). I quickly found a huge selection and loaded the cart up and headed to check out. I was greeted by a very sweet young woman named Hannah. She was friendly but not all-​up-​in-​my-​biz like. I told her I was head of a charity group that’s making scarves for the homeless. She asked if I had any coupons, I said no and she informed me to jump on my smart phone and go to their website where she found a 30% off your purchase coupon which she allowed me to use. I thought that was a really nice gesture and great customer service. Once again, I’m overwhelmed by positive people! I’ll be back here. It’s further than Michaels by my house but worth the drive.

I can usually find a lot of stuff for projects at Jo-​Ann but recently find the staff not helpful or knowledgable at all! Last week I was there to shop for upholstery fabric, and asked two of the staff, one at the fabric cutting area and the other at the check out counter when the sale would end, Neither could not tell me and seemed very offhand, not willing to look it up or ask someone else. Sometimes one finds one at the checkout with things (like pillows) that turn out not to be on sale (though the sign on the shelves indicated the sale) and no manager is available to clarify or help. The last thing I would like to point out is the piles of trash and dirt where the shopping carts are stacked up front (been that way a long time) which indicates on pride of ownership for this store.

I really enjoyed perusing the paper crafting section of this Jo-Ann’s. The associates were so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this location.

Larissa is my favorite associate! She was so sweet, and very accommodating! She even apologized when I told her I had a bad experience last time I came into the store. Will definitely be back because of her!

Stores closed at 7:30 on a Monday with no sign that says they closed early for holiday.
So much for their Memorial Day sale.

I always enjoy coming here and was surprised to see so many sections with 60% off sale signs. The store is well kept and clean and the checkout line is never too long. I haven’t made use of the fabrics section yet so I cannot speak on that. But all my crafting needs can always be met by going to Joanns.

I love this Jo-​Anns. They have the best selection of yarn! I usually come here if I need the 10. oz size of Bernat Blanket yarn because the michaels near my house only sells the 3.5 size. The only sucky part about this Michaels is that they don’t carry the 10.5oz of Bernat Baby Blanket yarn in the color «Pink N Blue.» but I won’t hold that against them because accoridng to their site none of the Jo-​Anns within 75miles of me sell them (& I can’t order them either *super sigh*) Other than that this place is great and if the item you want isn’t on sale, there is always a coupon for it, Which is awesome!

It can be so hard to find a good fabric store with a decent supply of things that you need to just do some basic alterations and repairs on clothing.
I remember when I was a kid there far more options. Joann Fabrics might have a monopoly on fabric stores, at leeway in the suburbs.
I’ve gotten buttons, fabric, zippers, snaps, books, thread, velcro and more. They have a great selection of fabric for loss of fun projects.
The staff has always been super helpful.

I am a major crafter. It’s an obsession. I come to this store very, very often. I am a big fan of their supply and deals/​mobile app coupons. I would’ve given a 5 out of 5 but the customer service is lacking. The employees always seem very irritated when you ask them a question. As long as you don’t need to ask any questions this store is perfect! :)

4 stars for the variety of items you can find here, 5 stars for the kind service at the cashier, 1 star for the lengthy wait at the fabric cutting tables, even with 2 staff there, the movement is about as fast as molasses, and 1 star for almost all items having a teeny tiny markdown so my coupons don’t work!
This is a wonderland for crafters and diy-​ers. Thank you Joanne for all the ideas and materials to start but not yet complete many projects…
Fabric seems to be replenished on a regular basis with new varieties to choose from often.
The selection here is much better than Michael’s !

This review is based on the sewing section only
Trudy helped me out finding my investment of a lifetime. I told her I have no experience with sewing what so ever and she led me to the baby lock Rachael. It was also on sale and she pretty much sold me on it. She was so helpful and so friendly. She also told me that if I needed her help with anything she would personally do it. She also recommended me to bring in a garment I needed seen and she’d help me with it.
Unfortunately, my bf said I should look around and for that I missed a good deal!!! I regret not taking it. If you ever need help, with your seeing machine or if you new some advice, definitely look for Trudy!

Not really sure as to why the recent low reviews by today my experience was a pretty good one. This is Jo-​Ann Fabrics is located in the Pacific Commons Shopping Center here in Fremont.
As we approached Jo-Ann’s there was plenty of parking spaces which is a plus here. Then as we entered the store, there were plenty of shopping carts to the right of the store which is another plus.
We initially came here for really one reason which was to see of they had any good planter holders or any good plant pots on sale. A friend had mentioned to my mom that they had some pots on sale so we decided to come on in and check it out.
We browsed around the store to check around as we hardly ever come inside Jo-Ann’s because it’s not a store we frequent. Browsing around the store, there weren’t that many customers here so it was quite quiet.
After seeing the selection of great pots on sale, we decided to purchase some because they were at a great price point for pots. We had seen a flier in the store that said if you text «COUPON» to «56 266» they would send you coupons and more. We received a coupon instantly for 20% off our purchase. Bang even more savings today!
Proceeded to the cashier, and there wasn’t much of a line, just one customer waiting in front of us. When we were finally helped at checkout, Jocelyn was our cashier. She was very friendly and attentive. When the line started getting long, she was fast and quick to ask for another cashier to the front to help ease the long line that was quickly being formed.
We had a great experience here at Jo-Ann’s Fabric at the Pacific Commons.

All the employee’s are nice at the store. This review is based the ridiculous wait time at the fabric section. I come here all the time and all i want to buy is a few yards of fabrics and leave. Why does it take 40mins to make that happen?
This Asian lady talks WAY too much. Don’t get me wrong she is nice but when peoples are in a hurry and time is money… it’s not the biz! Just cut the darn fabric and let me go.
One time she was teaching this customer how to find the coupon on their phone! I know you are trying to be nice but people don’t have all day!
Today, i came here again for more fabrics for my pets and same shit! SERIOUSLY? I came during lunch and it totally consumed my whole hr of lunch for 3yrds of fleece!!!
The other girl came and helped her and she was super fast! THANK GOD!

I’ve only come here just recently and this place doesn’t seem to always be in stock of things. I came here to buy some beads for Kandi making and they didnt have the black beads at all or a lot of their beads were missing. I walked around the store a bit and a lot of their items didn’t seemed to be restocked at all.
Though the quality of their items seemed to be pretty good this place is way more expensive than Michael’s but their stuff is much better. I was excited to use my 40% off coupon I found online for JoAnn’s so make sure you have that ready on you. Hopefully this place can restock more of their items!
If you want good quality stuff then go here but if not go to Michael’s! Plus, this place has some stuff that Michael’s doesn’t and vice versa.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. No customer service at all. I was looking high and low for individual tulle, asked an employee, and instead of walking me over, she just said its by the wedding and kids area. Uhhh okay, thanks for that, so again I began walking all over the store looking away. These people need some customer service training.
