Before going out and purchasing books ( I did, have a lot that I will never use) see if your local library carries them, then if you really like the book, then buy it. And yes, JoAnns coupons if you have one to shop at. And if you do, don't forget to sign up for the emails and the mailer, you get triple coupons that way, and all can be used on the same visit, each is allowed to be used for a cut of fabric because they are each from a different source.
