I buy most of my notions, batting, rotary cutters (not blades as I now use Harbor Freight carpet cutting blades) quilting thread and on occasion fabric when they have their sales. I also get their discount coupons in the mail. The store caters to all types of crafters, e.g. needlecrafts, children, dressmaking, window dresings, upholstry fabric, clothing and crafting patters, seasonal home & patio decorations. I like their sewing & quilting thread selections, yet the store in Cortland has a terrible thread choice. I guess it all depends what Joann's you shop in. Whenever I need to replace something, I wait for a big sale or use a 50% off coupon. If you do not have a store close to you go online and check it out. They do have good sales especially around holidays. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, they do accept other competitors coupons in stores. Check one out if you get a chance.
