Make a wish list of the quilting notions you would like to have. JoAnn's puts a lot of notions on sale for 50% off every few weeks, so check their website every Sunday to see what's on sale that week. When sewing notions and quilting supplies are on sale 50% off, that's when you want to do your shopping. I rarely buy anything that's not on sale. Since I make a lot of charity quilts, I like to stretch my money so that I can donate more quilts.
Happy quilting!!! It's quite addicting.
