If you are not getting fliers in the mail--check with your local mail carrier. I stopped receiving mine all of a sudden and when I asked at my local JoAnn's I was told the fliers are considered "junk" mail and can be disposed of at the mail carriers discretion. I marched myself over to the post office and complained and they put a note on my mail carriers desk that the fliers were not "JUNK" mail. I haven't had a problem since. Just in case, though, I signed up with my married name and my work address--so now I get one at home (to my maiden name) and at work. Also, if you are a teacher, sign up for their teacher discount card. You can use it WITH sale items. If the fabric you want is on sale you can still use the discount card in addition to the sale price. Sometimes I wait until things are on sale to buy them because it would be more than 40% off combining the sale and discount card.
I know most of the associates at Joann's by name and always have great service. Unlike my LQS where I'm not in the right "group" to be given even the time of day...
