Many JoAnnes stores do not hire quilters or even people who sew to work their fabric departments. I have personally witnessed an employee at JoAnnes put a non kona solid on a bolt marked Kona. To the non-sewing employee a solid fabric is a solid and there is no difference. They simply see the same color. I quit shopping JoAnnes for fabric a long time ago. Mostly because the quality of their "keepsake" quilting cotton lines do not hold up. It fades and goes threadbare much quicker then name-brand fabrics, at least in my experience. Their other quilting cottons are no cheaper and in many cases more expensive than the LQS or on line sources. I have also noticed that their "regular" price for notions, batting, etc is very inflated compared to other sources (on line or local). I attribute this to their regular practice of offering 40 to 60% off coupons. They will still make their profit margin even if you use a 60% off coupon. Occasionally you can get a great deal there but for the most part I can find the same prices elsewhere without the hassle of a coupon. JMHO.
