Selection for me ... I don't care much for what my local Joann's has. Notions for another ... the local quilt stores have notions that Joann's doesn't carry. My LQS also LOVES to talk quilting and fabric ... two of my favorite topics :lol: They also have a different selection of books and will order a book or notion you are looking for and if you want a certain bolt of fabric they will get it for you. With Joann's it's what you see is what you get.
