I have made only 3 purchases, but all 3 times they have been very helpful. The first time was a Christmas present for my out-of-state nephew who likes to sketch. They gave me great ideas in my price range.

This is a good place to go for your arts and crafts supplies. They sell a bit of everything in here. whether your craft is in pottery, painting, knitting, scrapbooking, or whatever. You will probably find here.
I get my supplies for stained glass making in here.
They also have a really good frame shop. I had a new frame made for a painting I brought back from Germany. They did an excellent job on it. And I am very pleased.
If you don't have a craft hobby you should stop by. There is always a sign up sheet where you can pay to take a class and learn something new and different.

Planet bead is absolutely fantastic! They have so much cool stuff and their inventory goes well beyond the realm of beads. It's a great place to do shopping for hollidays if you know someone who is into imports, crazy african/tribal masks, bead work, incense, jewelry or an assortment of new age pieces. You can buy beads in bulk, minerals/gemstones on strings, or you can buy them singly for pretty reasonable prices.

I have always found a great selection of home dec and apparel fabrics at Hancock's. Some of their stores focus much more on fabric than on being all things to all crafters, and that's fine. They do carry a decent selection of yarn and knitting and crocheting supplies and their quilting section is very nice with all sorts of gadgets and goodies. But the focus of the store is really in the name: it's all about the fabric here and there is a lot of it!
There is always a good sale going on even the pricier home dec fabrics, which makes it easy to indulge my inner fabric addict. I have also always found the staff to be helpful and many of them seem to be seasoned sewers and are more than happy to help you find the right needle for a specialty fabric or to offer advice on using trims and embellishments.

Cute name is it not? Wait til you get inside. The charm will surprise you, along with the friendly customer service.
More than just fabrics, they also carry all the notions and such that you need to complete any sewing project you might have.
Knowledgable staff on duty at all times to help you with your quandries.
I myself love to quilt, and get a bit perplexxed at moments, and they are very helpful in getting you a tad bit more organized.
A great sewing supply store that is a locally owned biz.

This small fabric store in Brown Deer is owned by a married couple who know their stuff. They can help you out with selecting just the right fabrics for your project. Their store carries a contemporary selection of fabric, so you won't find traditional calicos here. But you will find a great selection of contemporary prints, hand-dyed fabrics, batiks, etc., and plenty of books, patterns, and accessories to inspire you. They are very nice people, and actively involved in the quilting community. They offer classes here, too, in their in-store sewing classroom.

More
For a one stop craft and fabric store, Jo-Ann's is unbeatable. You can satisfy a myriad of crafting, sewing, and home dec needs right here in one trip. No more carrying around a scrap of fabric hoping you will find the right trim somewhere in town, they have a ton of trims and beads and ribbons right there in store. They have fabulous seasonal accessories for inside and outside the home as well.
The yarn section is pretty impressive in most stores as well, with national brands as well as their own line of specialty yarns.
The one thing they don't always have is knowledge. Perhaps because they are so large and spread out over many different craft areas, you can't always find someone who has an answer to any specific questions. Sometimes the person at the cutting table can be somewhat careless in cutting delicate fabrics, some of those edges are mighty jagged!

Icing, which is a branch of Claires, sells mostly earrings. Since they are apart of Claires, their jewelry is cheaply made and falls a apart easily. They have good prices though, so if your looking for a part of earrings that may not last that long, Icing is the place to go.
