I'll have to check out our JoAnn's. I haven't been there for a while. I wasn't seeing much that interested me. Our JoAnn's is managed by a man and I'm not impressed! lol. He doesn't seem to be in touch with quilters. Most of the store is crafts, scrapbooking, picture frames and knickknacks. Our Hancock store seems to be going the same way. Since we are retired, we take day trips to quilt shops in some small towns in the area.

One of the closest Joann's is closing May 7. I liked it because you didn't have to stand in line 7 deept to get fabric cut, as with the other store about 15 min. from here. If I have to it there, I will complain. ALso register lines are long, none of this is good customer service.
Nice you found the surprise.

I just wish there was a Joann's closer than 2 hours away.

I think it must be some new things they have added, saw some too. ALSO, has anyone else noticed a change over from Sulky to pellon stablilzers? My store is letting theSulky run out and replacing with pellon, which is less $, but I was just feeling comfortable which Sulky ones to use when I use my embroidery machine.(bought the book) NOW WHAT

I haven't see this at our JoAnns, but maybe I didn't look in the right place. Sounds intriguing. Bet I look next time. Tkanks for the heads up.

I've never looked , But I will now .You can't buy anything for longarming around her you have to order it on
line.

Thanks :)

I would think that as many long armers as there is getting to be that that would really be a good seller especially on sale and with the coupons because supplies are expensive and you have to order them on line unless there is a dealer near you.

We're going to JoAnns today and surely will look for those things. Thanks for letting us know.

I've seen them in two Joann's near me- the smaller store closest to me (and has the smallest selection of the three I go to) had a few items, and I think the larger "superstore" had more stuff. Haven't been to the third store in a while, but I'm sure they have it if the other 2 do.

What part of Mo.is the new JoAnn's? I'm up north and travel 3 hours to JoAnn's. Maybe I can caught it in our travels.
