I shop Joann's and my LQS's..... I too have to drive 35 mi to Joann's, I go with my coupon and most usually find what I'm looking for. I'm very careful and if Joann's fabric doesn't feel nice, it stays on the shelf. They do have some good fabric and have bought many yards from them. I also buy quilt books there since coupons can be used and is a nice discount.
