I took some fabric back to JoAnns once that once washed, looked like it had chemicals spilled on it and was covered up w/the dye. They did take it back...good thing, I could never have used it in that shape. I also returned another piece last week. I had bought the wrong color for a garment I was making. JoAnns will take it back if it hasn't been cut on or washed and you have the receipt and do it within a certian amount of time...like 30 days I think.
