Great fabric and craft store. Able to find great deals and a variety of items. Nice staff. Ive been to the Topsham, Auburn, Portland and Waterville. Clean and organized.
Staff 5 stars. Absolutely friendly and kind. Chris was very nice to come guide me from the front because I was waiting to the next register, I truly admire their dedication to giving their customers a wonderful experience. As for the other cashier, I apologize I did not catch her name, she was just as wonderful, she was very nice as well to call Chris and ask him to ring me out, but I denied. They have much sympathy in that store, that is something lots of stores are lacking. I believe that every store needs employees like these two! They were fantastic! The store 5 stars for cleanliness. Lots of fabrics, yarns, string, crochet and knitting needles, paint, some fun things by the register, they even had $1 gloves at the register as of 1/24/2021 when I went in. They are an immaculate store as far as I am concerned. I found no issues when I went in. Very well kept! I would suggest them to anyone who is looking for craft items around the Waterville area. Only con I had noticed were prices were a bit higher than expected but only by a dollar or two. Thats not a store issue, thats a corporate issue. Thank you for a great experience at Joann Fabrics!
I could live in this place. They have lots of crafts covered, including my favorites, knitting, crocheting and embroidery.
Amazing deals and wonderful service plus a rewards account for teachers its the best of both worlds.
If youre looking for quilting cotton or fleece, there are a lot of choices. Relatively small selection of apparel fabric.
Small but nice store. A lot to select from.
I ordered a sewing machine online and had it shipped to my home. Turned out, it didn’t work. So, I brought it into the store. I gave the machine to the cashier and she gave me a gift card and told me it had my full refund on it. I checked the balance over the phone using the number on the back of the card and there was no money on it. Also tried to use it in store — nothing on it. I called customer service and was told there was nothing they could do. So, basically I bought a broken sewing machine for full price, and then gave it back to the store for free.
The location felt appropriately staffed and safe (Covid19). There are tons of choices for various fabrics, organized in a logical way. The space is a bit smaller than other Joann Fabrics that I’ve been in, which made some aisles feel a little more cramped, but just be aware of other customers and you’ll be fine.Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Found exactly what I needed!!! Great store!
The staff is fantastic, and extremely helpful. Nice selection of merchandise, clean and covid safe. Highly recommend this store.
Jo-Ann fabrics if you need anything you can ask the clerks and they will help you to the best of their ability
They basically have basic stuff and fabric. Unfortunately they dont have any candle or soap making stuff. It was dead when I visited.
They were very helpful to me and friendly
Staff was very helpful and I found everything I was looking for even the things I could not find anywhere else.
Great service, a great variety material n crafts. Lots of sales n gives out coupons frequently.
Nice craft store. Lots of great sales and helpful, friendly staff. Cant ask for more than that.
Great prices, friendly staff.
Love,love this place! They have all your craft needs.
I love this store just this time they didnt have what I needed
Great craft store. Thanks for the glue sticks
Excellent store. Exceptional, helpful staff.
Staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about their products!!!Awesome service awesome people!!!!
Found the color yarn i Cousteau find in two other stores.yay
Great place found exactly what I was looking for.
Customer service that is so good youll think you made a friend. Vex, Thank you for all your help.
I do like the quick friendly service. I only did not like the over powering scent of the cinnamon pinecones near the entrance. They always put my allergies on overdrive and I am sure hinder other persons from actually shopping. I cant shop long this time of year in stores that have them.
Prices for items tend to be on the high side, but they have good quality options to choose from.
Love Joanns, I have a yarn addiction. And, guess who has yarn? I also have a 4H group that does crafts, so I write a list and get the supplies that we need. Definitely a frequent shopper here.
They always have what I need in store.
Great place to get the supplies I need. The sales are great and so are the staff.
Always just fun to browse
Fantastic services and could not of felt more cared for and attended to.The employee went above an beyond to assist me with my endless questions and was very tolerate of my ignorance. Great place to learn an not feel out place or like I was ignorant.I had zero knowledge when arrived, when I left I was confident I could complete my diy sewing project. THANK YOU JOANNS FABRIC .
They have a lot of great sales going on right now---up to 90% on select merchandise.
Theyre always helpful & knowledgeable. Great selection. The manager is especially accommodating & helpful
A large selection, always great sale prices and a little unknown secret✔ is you can always get 60% off 1 (only 1) regularly priced item per sale 💯 TRUE u just have to ask NICELY for manager approval 😉
I am not a frequent shopper of this store, but when I went to the Waterville, Maine location to purchase my wife a sewing machine for her birthday I was amazed and taken back by the extraordinary customer service I received. The staff here are super helpful before, during and after the sale. You just cant get that from the dot com online competition. I would recommend this store any day of the week, twice on Sunday! Thank you!
I found some beautiful boxes after Christmas for a low price. However, after having not been in there for quite a while I was surprised at how expensive they had become and how much they had downsized their supplies. Sign of the times I guess. Sad.
Went just accompany my wife to place. I just sat in the car, while she shopped in JoAnn Fabrics.
Order online and curbside pickup worked great!
Their customer service is sooo bad. I ordered fabric from them because it was out stock. It took three weeks and no body call me. I call them they said next week. When I went to the store. They didnt even Order it. They were so rude with me. They didn’t apologize. They treated me so bad. I waste my time waiting for the fabric and it was to expensive.
Wonderful selection of crafty products and material! Friendly and helpful associates! Fair prices.
Great customer service. Explained my frustration with the MASSIVE coupons overload/confusion. Young lady very helpfully explained the app was the best way to keep track,get rid of text!
Has what I usually need for crafting. Has good coupons most of the time also...
Great people on staff here!
They carry everything you can imagine and things you never thought of. Staff very friendly and helpful. One of my favorite stores
Are you Looking for different things to create with then this is your shop.
All your arts and crafts needs packed into one store staff is friendly and very courteous
They have nice and different materials and other things there too!
The staff was very helpful and my time in the store was pleasant.
Love the store but dont like the take a number to get waited on system.
They dont carry a lot of the products I use in my crafting, but they do have a good supply of what they do carry
This place inspires me...gets my creative juices going! Fun just to poke around...have made items from what I have purchased, often mailed to friends/family.
Everything you need for crafting adventures!
I needed help and waited until the manager finished talking with ??? his supervisor on the phone?He never acknowledged me standing there waiting, which I dont think that the person on the other end of the line would have minded, (customer used to come first). All he needed to say was,Ill be right with you. BUT, Instead, took his sweet time, would not make eye contact with me, finished the call and finally hung up. Store was empty, I might add. He then asked Need help? I wanted to say, No, I am just enjoying listening to your conversation, but I didnt. There also was no apology, like, Sorry for the wait. I asked him where I could locate an item, which I had already looked for and, walking away from me, pointed and said, Over there in the farthest corner, on the right, and walked to the front of the store, where the cashier was helping one customer......I now know why the store was empty when they were having one of their BIG sales. I then left my full cart, right where it stood and left the store empty handed.This store DEFINITELY needs some PUBLIC RELATIONS CLASSES beginning with him OR aNEW MANAGER! Remember, you asked for a review. From now on, I only shop Bangor.
Love this place! With the colors of all the fabric its like walking into a candy store not knowing which one youll purchase first~ the quilts are amazing and the staff is so helpful!
They have a wide range of fabrics and other useful items to sew and craft. The people are nice and willing to help.
Whatever your arts or crafts project may be, there is a strong likely hood that youll find it here.
Fantastic deal!!!
My favorite craft store! They are always running great sales, and great coupons on the website that can be used in store or online!
Great place for a quick craft supply place!!
Little store with employees that would rather chat about other people than assist the only customer in the store and ignored me when I asked for help. If you need a quick fix it might be ok... but customer service was not the priority when I was there.
This store has everything you need! Its in a convenient location and Im so glad they have one in Waterville. Ive made several stops at JOANNs and theyve never disappointed. You should definitely stop by this place if you have any fabric needs whatsoever.
So much to look at. Could spend so much money and time there. Fun place with so many ideas for hobbies.
More color selections for size 11 knitting needles would be nice though :)
It was very small but had everything I needed and the employees are very nice.
Chronically understaffed. Poor selection and high prices. The ones who are there dont know where things are and even told me they didnt carry an item when they just didnt know where it was. I dont plan to go back.
I brought my wife here to get a replacement bulb for her sewing lamp. It was advertised online for $25. They also were advertising a January Super Sale with up to 60% off your purchase. The had let replacement bulb, but had marked it up to over $40 which effectively cancelled out the 40% discount.JoAnn Fabrics used to be a reputable store, but they have become just another bait and switch den of theives! 😣
Look forward for the sales flyer. I always find a lot more than I planned to get.
I can usually find whatever fabrics Im looking for although the prices are a bit on the high side.
This is one of my favorite craft stores! They have such a wide variety for everything
This is a smaller Joanns so the selection is pretty small. There are some employees that are super helpful and knowledgeable, others ignore customers and like to chitchat with each other.
Clean and well lit. I know you are thinking...who cares about the lighting??? Well when you are looking at certain materials for texture, threading and exact color it really makes a difference
My favorite crafting supply store... If you cant find it in the store look online and have your store order it!
Joans has a good selection of products and fabrics, however their customer service is lacking. The registers are rarely attended and you have to look for someone to check you out. It feels very disorganized and understaffed.
Pretty nice, but they do not carry enough cloth.
Great stuff my wife loves it
Small staff. Surly. Very limited inventory even for a tiny store. Not worth stopping at. Bypass completely and visit topsham store
Its a great place very friendly people and staff was helpful and has so much that you cant find anywhere else
Not impressed... walked in to manager telling 2 employees to work the fabric, then she disappears and when we needed help, the 2 ladies were busy on register and no manager to help; selection was not good from fabrics to notions and supplies; lots of empty spaces; tried to find help and wasnt able to get anyone... back to Bangor we headed and left our cart sitting at the fabric counter.
Good prices on a great selection of craft needs
Usually have what I need and always have great coupons to help with the cost. Their sales associates are very helpful
Joanns has just about everything you could possibly want for a crafting project.
Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff!
Dont go often as their items are limited and tend to be more expensive.
I bought yarn today for a few projects. They DO NOT HAVE BAGS unless you purchase one of the reusable ones at$1.99
Great seeing supplies store. Crafts and more enjoyable shopping great with coupons
The most important thing is that at the Waterville, ME store, they just re-did the whole store and even moved the entrance and didnt make the new one wheelchair accessible for the handicapped. Whats up with that?I went shopping for fabric the other day to make a dress and the only thing they had was dark colors with big flowers. So old fashioned. They have none of the stuff I see on TV or on-line. Even their yarn is not up to date. You can get brighter and better colors online. Why cant the northern stores get light colors and very small flowers or birds on dress materials? Is that too much to ask?
The sales people were friendly and helpful
In and out in ten minutes. Excellent service.
Staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about items in stock
Great place loved prices will go back
Love the bargains when I can use coupons. Hate that the fine print makes it difficult to use coupons, 15% off regular and sale prices items......... EXCEPT............ its the except that gets me everytime 😏🤐
Thats where I shop for my beads for all the homemade jewelry I make!!! Great selection and sales!!
Not much inventory
My wife absolutely loves this place!! They can always help with your needs.
Excellent place for all your sewing and crafting needs.
