Oh no, I loved collecting thier fats.

Here's the deal: :-)
The supplier they had before had issues with the sizes of the F4's. A lot of them were smaller than 18x22. So, they are getting rid of whatever F4's are left (that's why they were 99 cents for so long) They are getting a new supplier, and most Jo-Ann's should have a new stock of F4's sometime in February.
Not to worry everyone! The F4's will return to Jo'Ann's!! :-)

Ours is getting a new supplier....they have been out for a few weeks...and do not have a particular delivery date but will be getting them soon.

I've been shopping for material at other locations, not Joann's. I've found that the FQs they do have are not the same quality as their bolt fabrics and I could never find bolt fabrics to go with the FQs. I did go into a remodeled Joann's in Boise the other day and was not impressed with their quilt fabric selection. AND this store has the Viking section :-P and the gal that was there was really a hag, not nice at all :twisted: so I left, empty handed...

I had the same question a week or 2 ago when I noticed they had just disappeared from our store - the Mgr. said they will be stocking all new as they'd had problems with miscuts & short sizes

I told her I hoped they'll stock more to match fabrics on the shelf too ... she didn't know about that ?

I work at Jo-anns and thats wrong we are getting new ones we got some in last week

btw, i was looking for brown kona yesterday on sale, and there is definitely a difference in quality. it has a much looser weave and when you hold it up you can see right through it. my nearest lqs is a distance away, but their kona is a much better quality with more weight and tighter weave. another example of a good brand making some of their fabric to joann's specifications to meet a price point. that's why joann's can sell it for $3.99 with coupon.

I still buy some fat quarters but most of the time I buy yardage.

HeatherQuilts I asked at a couple of JoAnns & I got the same answer. So give it a few weeks & I think the Fats will return.

I was just at our Joann's yesterday, and they did not have any fat quarters unless it was cut by them and in those little bundles that they sell or in a Quilt kit.

The manager said that at ours they are getting ready to remodel. Which they are looking for help and I applied... So maybe they will get more after they are done remodeling (at mine at least).
