Joann's Fabric at Canadian Store
I just bought 4 metres of fabric for a backing at $5.00 a metre off the sale table at Fabricland, got it home and the selvedge is labeled Joann's Fabrics!
I wonder if they are affiliated or if they just bought a big lot at an auction or something? Just thought it was weird.

A few years ago I bought flannel off the bolt at Hancock's, and after I got it home, realized it had a Joann's label on the selvage. It was nicer than the Hancock's flannel that I also bought. (Not talking about Hancock's of Paducah; the other Hancock's that went under )

I don't think they are affiliated. I don't know the correct terminology, but Fabricland buys a lot of fabric "leftovers" - things that didn't sell as well as expected, and so they're available at a discount price from the manufacturer. This is part of why they have such a range of quality, without any price differentiation between the good stuff and the junk.

There are a couple other stores called Fabricland that came up in my searches (including one in New Jersey), but they aren't affiliated with the Canadian Fabricland chain.
