If you stick with their premium quilting fabrics you can't go wrong-they are currently 30% off (plus another 10% with the coupon). However, I have used their Keepsake Calico fabrics for years, and unless you are making an heirloom or special quilt, those fabrics are just fine. Many of the people on this board are still developing their skills (and many are still beginners, and for the price (especially when on sale-usually 40% off) the Keepsake Calico is still a good fabric. The only thing I noticed with some of them is that the very light colors might be a little see-thru (especially when paired with a dark-make sure the dark 1/4" seam doesn't show thru the light), but really, for the everyday quilt, for the price, it is fine. Just my opinion!

A new Jo-ann in Pueblo in the mall,2 hours away
|
I got some very nice fabrics too on their red tag with the 50% off... fun to find a deal now & then!
|

|
Just about doubled my stash at Joann's...not that my stash is all that big to begin with, but great prices. yes, you do have to watch the quality, but that's true anywhere, about anything.
|
No, can't print coper does not work. So off to Hobbie Lobbie I go.
|
Thank you for sharing. I will have to go and check it out.

Catrancher, Thanks for sharing. I have said that all my life and did not where it came from. Knew it was a bunch though.LOL

Love when Jo-Ann's has their sales, but as many have said you do have to watch the quality. If I am making a quilt for a child that is going to see some rough and tough duty I don't use top quality. Lately I have, to my dismay, started becoming a fabric "snob." I love Windham, Makower, RJR and Markham. Have recently purchased some panels that are gorgeous, now to find the hours in the day to do something with them. Found some Windham "Hanky" fabric on Ebay at a fantastic price and it is beautiful. I never thought of Ebay for fabric, but there it was.

Lots of fabric sales this time of the year because all the new stuff ordered from Houston will be showing up soon and the stores need the room.
|
I was just at joanns yesterday looking for thread. Some sales but not like yours, Last week they had a good one though a lot of 40% off, but I didn't see any $3. or $4. lots. I did get a bunch of fall colors to make a quilt. I love the oranges, rusts, etc.
|
The LA Times today said that that the price of cotton had gone up 100% in the last year and that should translate into a 30% increase in prices after the first of the year. I have to get out there and do some serious shopping for jeans!
|
I heard that anything cotton is going up.
|
Hi my name is tumrub I went to joann's last week & picked up about 6 pieces of pink ribbon material to make myself a breast cancer quilt.WOW what great prices.

You don't know how lucky you guys are I live in Hawaii and we have a Ben Franklin that carries no fabric and the fabric here is expensive to say the least.
|
Sounds like Joann's is having a great sale, guess I'll have to breakdown and go. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
|
You don't know how lucky you guys are, do you? I live in Germany and we have neither JoAnns, nor Michaels nor Hobby Lobby and the fabric here is expensive to say the least :cry: .
But I surely do not begrudge you, b/c if you indulge yourself in fabric, we will see pics of some beautiful quilts in the future :D . So you guys better stop buying and starts sewing NOW :twisted:, just kidding... Have fun and quilting hugs from Germany, Anne |
I went shopping this weekend at Joanns to get those covered metal buttons for a quilted pillow I am making and they had lots of notions on sale. My hubby was with me and he fallowed me around like a puppy and every time I picked up something he would tell me that you don't need that! Next time I go shopping I am going to drop him off at Manards first. I am going back there on Friday to pick up those things I need as I have depleated my stash of buttons, thread, etc etc.

I did use my 20% off full purchase coupon on monday. all fabric pieces 1/2 yd and patterns $1.00 each |
I'm getting anxious!
|
It would be fun to go shopping with you to Joann's but not sure yet if I can go as I sold a quilt to someone and they haven't paid for it yet. Been thinking of taking a swing up to St Cloud for a day and then go east over to Blaine and some other fabric stores that I know of.

I also had a 5.00 off coupon for Ace Hardware so off I went...I love coupon shopping.
I hit the jack pot w/ bais tape & patterns that were on clearance. |
i am wondering what is a Bow Tuck tote :?:
judy in Phoenix |
You can just sign up at the registers...they send booklets with great coupons a couple time a month...You have to get on their mailing list.
|
JoAnn's, yep, I was on line there about an hour ago, was planning on spending 40.00 for charms and ended up with a 100.00 worth (of course that was the sale pricing, so I should feel good, right! LOL)
Good deals. |
I just came home from our JoAnn's and could not believe that store! I thought I was in a junk shop! Nothing was straight, fabric hanging out everywhere, boxes of half opened items all over the aisles. It was a mess! Made me feel bad so I bought the muslin I needed and got out. And as always, someone was having trouble with a coupon!! I just wish I had an alternative.

We have a Jo-Ann in our city that is very neat although it is a smaller one. I recently went to one in another town, because it was a nice big one, and it was a mess like you said. I couldn't believe the way the bolts were put back on the shelves and everything was just messy. I went to a Hancocks once that was a mess and I never went back. I won't go to that other Jo-Anns either. I just went to Maine and was at some beautiful Local Quilt Shops.

Hmmm.... may have to stop after work, there is one across the street. I need some fleece anyway. Making some xmas charity quilts and found that kids love it when fleece or minky is used as the backing for their quilts.
