This was my 1st time visiting the store in several years and I was disappointed in the attitude of the staff compared to previous years of shopping at this location. I asked 1 employee where an item was and she, without looking up, responded with on the left and pointed behind her. Still not able to find what I was shopping for I asked another employee where the item was and she walked past me saying she was busy with someone on the phone. With that I left irritated, passing 2 other employees, one on her one that looked up at me and from down the isle and turned in the other direction and the other sitting behind the register staring off into nothing. Unfortunately I left without making a purchase .
Today I purchased a Singer Patchwork Sewing Machine. Its been 35 years since I sold my beloved Kenmore.Gina Grupe was the incredible individual who took time to listen to my concerns and needs. I had a specific need for a Satin Stitch that would help me get the width I needed.The old portable brother machine I was attempting to use for a baby quilt was not effective at all.Gina allowed me to try several machines to help determine which machine would be a good fit for me.A very different experience than one from 2 weeks ago. I asked a few questions and the woman very quickly directed me to machines for experienced sewing enthusiasts.Very expensive.Gina explained the sale price on the Singer Patchwork $249.99 normally $449.99. I felt it is a great way to reintroduce myself to sewing.Gina you are a real gem thank you for taking your time and no heavy pressure.Geneva Commons JOANN Fabrics
Horrible experience! The only way to use a coupon found online is by downloading the app AND creating an account! Takes forever! Great way to keep people from using their coupons.Go to Hobby Lobby 💗
Found what I was looking for. Great store. Can be a bit pricey.
Handicapped parking and building access. Friendly staff, very helpful in getting what I needed. Fast checkout too.
A place for your hobbies and decor. Things are always on sale and many products to choose from. Items ranging from small furniture, wall decor, to fabrics and models. My wife recently bought Disney branded fabric and had my mother-in-law make a couple pillows for our daughter. Good material and quality and a great price along with great service. We will continue to shop at Joann Fabrics.
Found what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. Dave at the register was informative, courteous and professional. In and out in a few minutes. Will look here again when I need reupholstering supplies.
Nice, unfortunately didnt find what I was looking for.
Their associates are personable, attentive and make shopping and particularly check-out an excellent shopping experience.
Prices are up. Customer service is down, but thats the standard right now. There arent really any other fabric stores though
Helpful staff and lots of crafting options
All your crafting needs
Great selection and prices are good. However, plan on at least 20 minutes in line. They never have enough cashiers.
Awesome prices ☺️
Great place to shop. Very organized. Everyone here knows what their doing . Always very helpful
Friendlier staff than most. The fabric is spread out in a weird way and the sale signs are not always in place. Last time I had some fabric cut and when I later saw the price I was upset that I didnt know it was on sale and would have bought more
Took my Memory Quilt there to be stitched. Excited to see the finished product in February.
Huge variety if materials and patterns. The staff was very sweet too. definitely going again
The staff is very friendly. Its always a pleasure to shop here.
Clean store, very organized and prepared for supporting social distancing.
Great team at this TJ. Thanks for a great selection and great service.
Its busy and they have more than I thought they would. Ppl are nice only down side is craft stores smell super strong of synthetic fall smells
There were very good deals today. Clearances up to 90% off. I spent more than I had expected, but I also got more than I would have on any other given day.
Dont like the coupon dance, online shopping never works
Quick and easy purchase with both customers and staff being very respectful of social distancing protocols.
Cashiers talk to customers for quite a bit. This causes the line to back up.
Very nice staff.
Standard craft store. Crazy busy with fabric for mask making right now
The JoAnn Fabrics just opened up after being closed for Phase 3 of Covid in Illinois. At the time, the staff I encountered was pretty new. They were very friendly but not real knowledgeable. Ive been to probably 10 or 15 Joann fabric stores. Typically the employees are fairly friendly but to save money they staff lightly and this results in long lines. I did not find that to be the case at this store.
I found everything I needed. And good quality. Thank you
I called ahead to be sure they had the item I needed. She physically checked for me, and put one item aside, because they only had two left.Upon check-out my cashier was so friendly and helpful, and he checked my coupons for the best discount. Great experience!
Cashier was very helpful with a return.
Michaels is a better craft store. The guy checking us out had a whole spiel about coupons and how they dont take certain coupons, but they took the one we showed him, so it was just an odd conversation about how lots of people try to use coupons they dont take. It felt like they werent trying too hard to win customers - just operating the store.
Love Joanns! I sew, craft, bake, and knit. They have everything I need and good sales. They also carry lots of holiday decor.
Love shopping here...the sales and special offers are hands down remarkable! The employees are knowledgeable and helpful too! Most of the time I am starting a project I have never done before and couldn’t be more clueless. All I have to do is ask an employee and low and behold I leave feeling confident! They make sure you have everything you need in supplies and off I go with terrific end results! My experiences with employees and the store manager have all been positive and glad they are there to help! I appreciate everything they do!
I rate personnel there 5 stars - very patient, taking time to walk me thru steps needed to sew/repair 2 things. Rated 4 stars because of time standing in line for check out.
Great prices on fabrics and associated tools.
The fabric was cut all kinds of weird so I couldnt get it because I need a certain amount so that was frustrating. Then I found another fabric but there wasnt enough. Then the older lady behind the counter was very short with me and held her finger in my face to hold on mid sentence. Was not very happy bc she was not listening
Love the selections and for a good price. Also love the fact the except competitors coupons!
OMG, I never realized all of the things that you can get and assemble with a creative mind from Jo-Ann fabrics and crafts. In my mind I pictured it being a mothball scented store with racks and racks of material rolls, yarn, knitting needles and crochet hooks. I saw and Im not of elderly women with their knitting bags and hard candies pushing through the aisles with their walkers towards the clearance section. God bless you Grandma, you would be amazed at how far this world has come since you left us. Missing you forever and always
Very helpful staff and organized!!
21 dollars for a magnifying glass with flash light
Good selection of fabric. Checkout is still very slow!
The staff is absolutely no help at all. I requested assistance locating an item and they told me that it was in a box in the back and wouldnt come out until they got around to it this weekend.
They have a variety of crafting equipment here, but most is over priced and the staff are not super helpful.
The sewing machine shop within JoAnn has good prices and great customer service. I thought my machine was broken, and a quick adjustment to my bobbin fixed it! No problem, no charge!
Love this store. Has all your needs for crafting and more
Always enjoy my trips to Joann Fabrics!! Just bought a Viking Sewing machine, so excited to learn how to use it!!
Helpful staff
Waited too long to check out
Ordered for curbside at this farther away location bc it said they had my items available. Arrived to find out they dont have 2 items after all.
Lots of craft and fabric selections. The fabric area is very crowded.Do NOT use the public bathroom unless you are desperate-- very dirty☹️
Fairly clean stuff was everywhere but they had A HUGE CRICUT ISLE which was amazing!!
Nice selection, clean, orderly and friendly staff.
Great selection of fabrics and crafts. Would like to see a waiting area fur the non-shoppers, tv comfy chairs, etc.
Great and friendly location. Everyone is always happy and willing to help me!
Bought beautiful fabric on sale. Assistance photo frame dept was very helpful. Downloaded the Jo-Ann app. when it was suggested at the fabric cutting counter.
Always love shopping in this store....the staff are super friendly, kind and helpful. Joannes offers crafting supplies for all sorts of different things, not to mention patterns and a VERY WELL STOCKED fabric supply. Ever since most Wal-Marts have been getting rid of their fabric stop, Joannes has been there to help. :D
Joanns has a great selection when looking for a pattern to match your decor.
Helpful members giving advice and assistance. Thats what I found. I will go again!
I love this store. Great prices as usual. Longest lines ever. This store never has enough employees to man the checkouts :(
Very organized, great customer service and always willing to help here.
Lots of customers but staff was friendly and efficient, both at cutting fabric and checkout.
Love this store! They always have specials going on. The ladies that work here are very knowledgeable in what they do.
Staff is Very helpful, well stocked!
Nice selection and good sales. Plenty of checkout lines open which made for a quick checkout.
I love this store. The employees are super friendly and helpful and I always find what I need. They usually have great coupons too!
Helpful staff and great prices. Lots of crafts, fabric and seasonal merchandise
Very nice and creative. Not crowded. The spirit of the holidays and Christmas season is in the air nice place to visit.
We were tryna get some stuff to reupholster our chairs and we went up to this lady, and were like where we be get thine material to reupholster thy furniture? and she was like *silence* idk what ur asking. And Im like in my head bruh she dont like her job
Great selection of fabric, ideas, jewelry making and sewing machine.
Very helpful staff. Love the order online pickup in store.
Love to shop here.. Read the fine print on coupons, nothing I was shopping for it was 50% off buyer beware....
Shop the local stores often...checked store everytime for a few USA Flag patches for family clothing...never have any...finally I drove further to Hobby Lobby walked in.. found exactly what I wanted the first try...Hobby Lobby my new go to store....Hobby Lobby thank you for carrying the American flag...Veteran family says thank you HOBBY LOBBY
Great location, wish they had more staple fabrics in stock. 4 out of 4 of my regular purchases were not available.
Help every where, everything we needed. Very friendly helpful people
Cashier forgot to put in my 50% discount. Now I have to go back. 😥😥😥😥
They have pretty much all your needs for your sewing or craft projects
Love the staff there, always friendly but not over the top, always helpful and give nice advice. Nice place to buy items for sewing, such as buttons, ribbons and zippers, clothing materials, picture frames, sewing machines, knitting wool, art supplies to name a few.
No issues at all, great place to shop.
Every time we go here, the employees always seem indifferent and tired. They never seem to have enough to fully staff the registers which leads to long wait times to check out. It appears as if theyre overworked.
Nice large store, many options
They are always very helpful and give you the best deals!
I love this store and everyone is very helpful there, my only complaint is that somehow every time I am ready to check out so is everyone else and the line can sometimes be really slow moving, but it is probably because they are so helpful answering questions!
Pretty sure they mark items up just to hand put coupons.
I got a great price on a seasonal fabric that was on sale!!
I sew ALOT so joanns is a must. We drive from Dekalb, because there is nothing that equals, and Dekalb doesnt have one.
Dont go in there thinking youll run in and out. Even when its not busy, youll be waiting in line for a min of 10-15 min, but probably longer. Its one of those over priced stores that tries to make people think they are getting a deal with their coupons. All the coupon garbage is what usually holds up the lines and they have to be ridiculously long before they call another cashier. I cant tell you how many times I waited in line and, after 20 min, set my stuff down and left knowing I wasnt getting checked out anytime soon. There is only one worker who is happy and it must just be his demeanor. Everyone else seems miserable. Also, if you get fabric, realize thats another line that takes at least 10 min, but normally more.Also, the store is always messy and never put together.
I love going To Joanne fabrics I buy fabric theyre often, also bought a sewing machine best purchase ever !!the lady at the sewing Sewing Machine Center was so helpful !!
Well after today I probably wont come back to joann I like the selection of yarn cause I do alot crocheting but I had very nasty cashier . I accidentally put wrong pin number and get addtuide cause put card back in . But I didnt appreciate the way talk to me . I had no problem with any other cashiers.
You can find all your craft needs. There is usually a wait to have fabric cut or to check out.
Very helpful and even ordered me the fabric that I needed.
I could spend all afternoon here! Great July sale going on too!
The lady at the cut counter clipped her fingernails with the fabric scissors while getting my fabric. Gross. Her name was Barb.
Great store, but not enough people working here. Check out lines are very long
They have a TON of fabrics and threads and crafting items so i rate this a 10/10.
My husband and I visited this store on Friday evening. Patricia, who measured our material was very helpful and friendly! She made our experience very pleasant. She is definitely a WOW employee! Thanks Patricia!!!
This store is a disaster. Stuff is everywhere. Aisles are not marked correctly. No one around to help. I left without buying anything. I hope that this store can improve its environment.
I wouldnt recommend the by online pickup in storeIt took 4 days to fulfill the orderI finally got the email for pickupI waited in line for 10 minutes& then they had a hard time locating the order
