Michaels — Local services in Hockessin, Delaware

Giving this store a biased rating because one of my best friends works here and I have known the store manager for quite awhile.

My lone complaint is that the aisles seemed sparsely filled. The old AC Moore just appeared to have had more merchandise on the shelves but I can seriously understand why no stores want to be stuck with a lot of product that isn't going to move.

She took me to the shelf where all my items were stocked, told me that if I found a similar item, she would honor the online 50% off discount. I found , selected an item, received the discount leaving the store...

I purchased a new machine online. Picked it up in store. The associate was very friendly. We go home later in the evening so I didn’t get a chance to set it up until late the following day. After setting it up I noticed it was making a load noise. So I processed to use it thinking it was just something silly. Nope! The thread would bunch in the bobbin and the wheel not turn. I called the store & Erica whom later let me know she was the manger was so kind and took care of the situation right out. I’m so very grateful as I needed to finish a project for a client overnight. My husband took the machine back right away. She was professional very helpful and really I life saver. The new machine is...
