I'm not sure about the flyer. I just signed up for mine today.
Totally worth it.

One of their employees is an elderly gentleman. He is so meticulous in his measuring and always makes sure the cut is straight, not distorting any pattern that might be involved, etc. AND he is very quick about it!!! He always makes every customer feel like they are the most special person in the store.
==============================
Should this gentleman decide to move to my part of the country, I'll get out and help him hunt for a place to live, if he'll promise to go to work for our local Joann's.

With the economy the way it is right now, maybe the stores are starting to realize that we will patronize those stores with the better/more friendly help. Wouldn't that be nice? I'd always rather spend my money where I feel like I am wanted!

My dtr and I went to the nearest JoAnn's (~15 miles) last weekend. They've renovated the store here also so things were a little hard to find but most times I don't mind wandering around a fabric store! I like that they had the number system to cut fabrics and when the number came up and the holder wasn't nearby, they made an announcement and waited a few minutes before going on to the next number. It helped that they had a couple of cutters. The one we got was very helpful and pleasant. It was a real pleasure to shop there again.

I have been to Sully often. Used to take our camper there for repairs. They always did such a good job for us. There are quite a few around me on the board. Would be nice to be able to meet everyone. Happy quilting. Have started the Happy Daisy quilt. It's going to take a while but it will be worth it. Am making fusible daisies and satin stitch on them. Gosh they are so pretty. Marge

I always wash & dry ALL of my fabric before cutting anything out!! I have done this ever since a polyester fabric (that does not shrink - right?!) that I had made a pants suit out of it (back in the 70's). Well, low and behold - the first wash & drying -- it shrunk !!!! And not just a little!!! So, ever since then everything get washed and dried first. It it is wool - then I send it to the dry cleaners 1rst, before cutting. And, the rag quilts will turn out just fine if the fabric is washed and dried first too. That way they won't shrink up.
