Hello will you please tell me how to order quilting supplies and fabric off of e-bat thank you in advance need to buy some for my little quilting group.

Gee that's too bad. The Joanne Fabrics I go to has great staff, most of them have worked there for years and are a great help! I know your frustration though, the Macy's in my town is awful! I kick myself everytime I try to buy something there.

I have decided that maybe I need to give Joann's another chance, I signed up for the e-mails again. If I get frustrated this time, I will be done, but I thought I shouldtry again,

I thought the register automatically took off the 40% off the higest price item not on sale..at least that is what i have noticed on my receipt.
we have 2 Joanns within 25 miles of each other..i prefer one over the other,because one hands out numbers at the cutting counter..i never leave the cutting area while i wait either. I know some do.

Yes, the cutting area is usually one person working and a long line. That is where I need to be more patience.

Definitely consider Ebay for the blades. I have gotten both the 28mm and the 45mm (both from the same gentleman) for a little over $1 a blade (I think I got them in lots of 20 or 30) and they work well and I feel they last as long as the ones I pay top dollar for at stores like joanns. I do know that one brand of cutter has a little notch thing where the blade fits so you have to make sure that the blades fit, but the ones I got have the slot for the notched ones, but work on the ones without just fine also. Good luck![/quote]

Are these blades that you buy on EBay, new blades? How can they sell them for $1. if so?

I can Totally sympathize with you. After many wrong amounts being charged to me at JoAnn's I finally learned how to do it.

One thing is that I was told by a sales clerk is that is an item ends in .97 they think it is a sale and don't consider it for the coupon.

The way they do fabric is horrible - the receipt is so confusing that you have no idea of what you are spending. So I keep a small notepad in my purse and as I pick up fabric and I write down the price it should be (the last 3 times I went they tried to charge me as much as 3 times the price and on oters incorrect yardage - bought 1/2yd charged for 1 yd). The one time it amounted to a $10 difference.

Ihave also leaned to just put my coupon off items up front and have her/him ring them up alone and I pay for them. Then I give them everythng else for a 2nd receipt.

I also make especially sure that I write down any super sale price as on my last visit 3 of my items were still in the computer at the much higher price.

I absolutely cringe when I go to the register, but these are things do want, and at the price listed on the shelf, not in their computer. I still like the store, just have to write down the price of everything I put into my cart and watch the register as it rings it up. I want the $$ in my pocket not JoAnn's (besides they evenually get it back on the ext trip any way - hee hee).

Can't honestly remember the last time I went thru the register without having to have them correct a price. But I am still a customer - just Much More Careful / Observant.

It's not Joann's, it's the incompetent help that they have. Our local Joann's is a wonderful store with a helpful staff. The only problem I ever had in there was with one lady that was new and so uptight that it made me wonder how she ever went potty. She was going to cut off the last three inches of a RED TAG CLEARANCE item that I was buying all of because it wasn't even. I asked her not to do it and she said that she had to because she couldn't charge me for it and she couldn't give it to me! I said "Well, pick of one of those because I want ALL of that fabric and if you cut any off I'm not going to buy it." I got the whole piece. LOL Other than that I've never had any problem and love going there. I would go online to their headquarters and lodge a complaint about the staff at your store. It works at Walmart.

I've been going to Joann's for at least 15 years at a location about 10 miles from home. I love it. Have excellent service, great products and can browse all day if I want to.

It's all in the attitude.

In my town it's Carsons.
