Just found out my Joann's is closing the end of Jan!! Crap!!!

Are there other fabric stores in your area? One of the things that really bothers me about Walmart closing their fabric departments is that they ran all the mom-n-pop fabric stores out of business and now folks are left to the internet or travelling for sewing basics.

Ours was remodeled last year and now is less than a third fabric. No more real art supplies either, just row after row of pricey scrapbooking doodads. The cutting table gets so backed up that they put in a mumber machine like you use in delis.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry to hear that! I would be so upset to lose my J's. It's so scary about all these places closing!

Won't be long before ALL consumer trading is done online!!!! I'm going to our Joann's today.....I'll see if they have heard if they're closing. That's a bummer......sorry to hear it!

oh no. i hope they don't close ours :(

Wow sure am sorry to hear about the closing of your Joann's . hope you other fabric stores in your area.

That sucks. Hope you have an alternative close by.

There are some other fabric shops in the area, but I usually get the best deals at J's. I was at Walmart yesterday and even though we are in an Amish community and we are keeping out fabric department it has shrunk about a third too. The LQS we have are pretty expensive and don't have the selection of J's

Geesh, that's a bummer.

kwhite - where is this JoAnn's? My daughter lives in Juniata county and she has taken me to one up there not too far from where hse lives.
