As for the FQ at Joanns, I was in there on Saturday, and just happened to mention it to the manager. She said they are in the back just waiting to be restocked. I mentioned that the stickers were impossible to get off sometimes. She said they don't put them on, they come from the suppliers that way, and that maybe the new supplier would use something that would come off easier. She did mention also that the FQ's were going to be slightly more expensive.
