The back of the JoAnn receipt states it will make a refund at the most recent lowest selling price of the item if you do not have the receipt. Since you purchased it at a low price you might want to try to return it. Also, there is no date stating a time limit for returns on the receipt. I have cut fabric and then returned it because it was flawed and received a full refund. I've even prewashed fabric and it shrank so much I returned it and received a refund. I always deal with the manager, am polite and have no problems getting refunds with or without receipts.
