a couple weeks ago i was at one of the wm and an employee told me that they are one of them that has alot of fabric. he said that he heard that they weren't going to loose it because it was selling there. so i hope not. but when i talk to others every where else. they say yes it is nation wide. i too had heard about joanns but haven't heard anything through the grapevine at the stores. like someone said i guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. they just don't want to hear what we have to say they are going to do things their way anyhow.
