A couple of monthes ago I ordered 10 yds. of fabric in 1 yd lengths from JoAnn fabric. I never did open any of the packages until yesterday. To my surprise everyone was not 36" long but 60". So I recieved 240" or 6.6 yds of extra fabric. WOW Each package was marked 1 yd. length. I felt so guilty so I called Joanns online number and they really appreciated me telling them but it is my good fortune someone was feeling so generous that day. The fabric is gorgeous. I couldn't be happier.

WOW! Great surprise:)

Happy Day for You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!! What a wonderful bonus :D:D:D

WOW, free fabric, always a good day!!

That's so wonderful that you called them. They must have been shocked!
I'm happy for you that you got all that!!

What a shocker! Here I appreciate it when I get a couple extra inches!

wonder what was making them so generous that day...maybe we can make it happen again and all order from them lol

Wow, that is great!

That's neat! :)

Goodie for you! What a deal! Yay!

Good for you! I am so happy for you...

Good for u! Ty for being hosest! God rewarded you!

Wow - hope you can use the extra fabric !!!

they seem to do that I orded 8 yds from them they gave me 9 yds it was the last of a bolt

Yay !!

Great surprise for you!

Yea!!! What a surprise. I like surprises like that kind.

A happy quilter you are! Now you have almost enough to make another matching quilt... :-)

Thats soo lucky!!! I admire you for being so very honest with the company. I am sure they were shocked!! probably had no idea how to handle the call lol It doesnt happen very often that you receive too much :lol: cheryl

Good things come to those who......whatev. Congrats on your good fortune.

60" comes to 1 2/3 yd. What ruler did they use????

That's some gift and from Joann's! They said you can keep it. WOW! Enjoy.

Someone probably got talked to over that. Well, I hardly ever buy fabric from JoAnns unless it is an emergency, because till I get it straight, it is usually 2 inches shorter. I worked there for a while, and if you ever got caught giving even a finger nail width over, you would be fired on the spot. Consider yourself lucky.

A blessing for you indeed.

Good for you for letting Joann's know there was an error made. It's nice to get extras unexpectedly but with all the stores no longer carrying fabric, we want Joann's to stay in business and if they had a couple million packages of yardage inaccurately labled it might hurt their business enough to cause them to close down stores...there aren't enough fabric stores as it is. I applaud your honesty. Good job.

That is great, and what is better is that you phoned Joanne's and they didn't charge you any extra or ask you to return the "extra" or "their error". I am so happy for you!

Is it 60 in wide - like a home dec or mixed content fabric and one yard long?

I love pure honesty and in this case, you were rewarded for your honesty. Nice work!!!!

Enjoy
