I travel 1 1/2 hours to the closest Joanns. I called them one day to find out what time they opened. Before I talked to anyone a recording came on saying they take competators coupons. (That was the other question I had) I have used Hobby Lobby's and Hancocks coupons at Joanns. I get the ones that say 40% off a single cut of fabric or 40% off any one notion. Doesn't say anything about it needing to be the same fabric at both stores. I have never had a problem.
