Before Wal-Mart ditched the fabric, I had to search to find nice quality, and it's becoming increasingly like that at the three Joann's between my apt. and the office. (It's only started to become like this in the past six months to year.)
This is probably a good thing for those of us with other options. It gives us a reason to support the smaller local shops instead of feeding the corporate giants. I wouldn't mind digging to find things, but JoAnn's higher quality items are a very similar price as the LQS. If I'm paying LQS pricing, I'm going to the LQS and buy what I really want.
