Joann's is one of the few places that will let you return fabric I would return it .

If you take it all back, they should give you a brand new cut of all of it from the bolt. I wouldn't keep either one because they could very well have another bolt up by now.

Joanne's will take it back, just don't cut anything. It is their policy. and yes the lady should of said something ,but given the benefit maybe she was day dreaming and didn't notice either.

I think that Joann's will take back the fabric if you haven't cut it and if you have the receipt....

I don't but from Joann's or Hancock's because their fabric doesn't seen like the same as at the quilt shops...even if it is the same pattern..I got rid of most that came from there and ClothWorld...Seems like a harder fabric...and their cost have gone up so it's not a lot of savings...

I had that happen to me recently at JoAnn's too but caught it at the cutting table. I also would take it back and get the amount you want in the "right" fabric. Guess this is a warning to us to check carefully on the fabrics we buy if there are already cut pieces wrapped around the bolt.

Our Joann's told me that you can return cut fabric as long as it has not been washed or cut at home. Bring your receipt and the pieces to your Joann's and I am positive they will give you 3 yards of matching fabric. Good luck.

This would be my first choice also.

Take it back. I used to think once it was cut you were dead in the water but not true, Joanns is pretty good about taking fabric returns. I stood in line behind a gal who was returning fabric because she had asked for 3 yds. and the gal cut 2-1/2! And, of course, the receipt showed 3. I've found you really have to watch the gals cutting at Joanns and if you think they are screwing up, make them do it again right there.

I didn't question several cuts until I hit the cash register and the poor guy cashiering had to go back to the cutting table to resolve the problem - the cutter had made mistakes on every piece of fabric but fortunately, for me, I was clearing bolts. What she couldn't get right was the yardage she had measured!
