I was just telling my daughter about how Joann's used to be...and I had 5 close to home or work. Remember when the stores were more than 1/2 fabrics. And I had a Minnesota Fabrics, which was all fabrics and sewing supplies. The good old days. Now I have 2 Joann's and both have terrible customer service. The regular prices are ridiculous, and you have to watch for things to NOT be on sale so you can use a coupon. But LQS employees are frequently snobbish. (What is with that?) I have bought fabric anywhere and everywhere, and it varies everywhere. One of the worst fraying fabrics I had was a Moda from a LQS, and I've gotten fabrics at Joann's recently that were equal to good LQS fabric.
