Welcome to the Quilting Board!
When I went to the Machine Quilters Expo in Portland, I noticed that the Canadians all were especially happy--and their arms were full of merchandise!!! When in the US, the Canadians buy! I mean the ladies were STOCKING UP(…mostly thread). Thank you!Originally Posted by danlynmartin
The $14.99 fabric I saw at Joann's did not have the same 'hand' as that I find at the quilt stores for $14.99. Just my opinion. It would be okay with a coupon. I've heard so much about Marshall's that it may be a 'go to' for a try out. If I ever reduce my stash! LOL

I don't think that they would stay in business without their coupons. That's the game that they have chosen to play.
Yes, I agree. Joannes is getting costly to shop at around my area. I have found some fabrics as high as $24.00 a yard & many at $19.00 a yard. Good thing I have a big enough stash to last me two life times. LOL
Sorry quilting friends but Joann's holds absolutely no interest for me. I have visited their new store twice and really could not find one piece of fabric to take home. The quality is just not there. When you hold a piece in front of light, you could count the threads with the naked eye. I seriously doubt the low thread count would hold together if a seam were stressed. Sorry, I'm not happy with their fabrics.
I find that you really have to watch for quality at JA's....some is not good at all.
I agree with OldHairTwister
I'd rather spend my $$$ at my local quilt stores, want them to stay in business.
Thank you for the Marshall Drygoods tip. Looks like a great site!!!
$14.99 is more than the highest price at my LQS (except for extra wide backing).....and I will always buy locally if I can. Plus, JoAnn's selection isn't the best. They severely downsized my store a couple of years ago.
Mistakes are just opportunities to invent a new quilting technique!
