Havent really noticed any change at our Joanns here, but now, I will definitely keep an eye out. I think this one of the dumbest moves of all time...considering the uproar at Walmart when they started taking all their fabric depts out. Makes you wonder if their corporate people have ever been to one of their stores and if they even care about their customers, dumb dumb dumb. However; on the flip side, this is going to only help out the little LQS's.
