I have never bought fabric from JoAnns online. I have in a pinch bought some from the store. I have found I have to really watch how they cut the fabric as they cut it so close to the amount you ask for there is no wiggle room to even up the cutting etc without ending up with less than what you need so if you need a yard you had better buy more. Quilt shops allow for this and cut on the generous side so this is not a problem. I travel a lot and have been in a lot of JoAnns all over and have found this to be true. JoAnns is not a favorite of mine but sometimes it is the only alternative available.
