OMG...that's terrible! You should contact Joann's and let them know about it. This could happen to someone else who buys their fabric. Maybe it was a bad batch. Personally I just got some fabric from them via their online store and I hate it. The hand is awful and feels like there is some kind of smelly, synthetic finish on it. After reading this, I'm just going to throw it out. I hope that you feel better soon.
Oh...BTW...I'm a steamer, but not a starcher.
