My dtr and I went to the nearest JoAnn's (~15 miles) last weekend. They've renovated the store here also so things were a little hard to find but most times I don't mind wandering around a fabric store! I like that they had the number system to cut fabrics and when the number came up and the holder wasn't nearby, they made an announcement and waited a few minutes before going on to the next number. It helped that they had a couple of cutters. The one we got was very helpful and pleasant. It was a real pleasure to shop there again.
