That's weird that your coupon had that clause. I thought the coupons were the same for everyone. My coupon only excluded doorbusters - and the normal Simplicity machines, sewing machines, etc standard clause that is on all of them.
I went to Hancock's first. I liked the sewing machine wheelie cart that they had there better than the one at Joann's. It was $10 more but I'm happy to pay the extra if it saves me frustration. I love my new case
I bought the deluxe bobbin winder from Joann's. I was given the regular one and it didn't seem to want to wind a M bobbin so I got the deluxe and it seems to wind a bobbin just fine. Now if only that had a towa gauge so I could figure out how tight to adjust the tension disc on the winder lol. Getting a towa gauge is on my to do list...
I had a great sewing day and am glad I went out. I almost always get what I want when I do shop on Black Friday. I am looking forward to the Cyber Monday deals now...
