I noticed when I was in the JoAnn's by me that they have really cut back on the quilting accessories. They are not all in one place in the store either. I don't enjoy shopping there as it seems very disorganized. Thread is in one place, batting in one place, books in one place and magizines in one place and they are not close together at all. Drives me nuts. Also have noticed that the selection is pretty slim for quilting.
