After listening to everyone's complaints about Joanne's, I agree. I have had issues with their coupons...sometimes they don't apply to certain items. The coupon descriptons are misleading.
At our LQS the ladies are all so helpful. They have even helped me pick colors when I am confused. I have noticed that the quality of fabric is so much higher at my LQS. So I am shying away from Joanne's also. I would like to support our LQS!
