Unfortunetly, my closest JoAnns is 30 minutes away. No car. I did go to the Black Friday Sale at my local Hancock Fabrics. The line for the cutting counter was long, only had 2 cutters, but they went REALLY FAST. They were fully staffed & they were very helpful. I went in for elastic (I am making my middle son boxers for Christmas), and thread. I ended up getting flannel ($1.69 per yard) for my four year old son to make him pjs for Christmas. All of the customers were very polite. My son & I saw one lady with 3 shopping carts filled overflowing with polar fleece. lolol They had serger thread on sale for 50% off!!! YEAH!! YEAH!! I spent $20.74 and saved $27.91. I think I too, will start a fund for next years sales that away I can REALLY STOCK UP GOOD!! lol. I came out with 6 yards of flannel, 6 yards of elastic, 2 yards of cotton belting, & 4 spools of purple Maxi Lock Serger Thread.

PS-Had I known serger thread would be on sale, I would not have gone 2 days earlier and bought it. I would have waited and got it all on November 25, 2011. lol I guess I will know for next year.
