Quote....I was a little miffed that everything, and I mean everything on my list was on sale. end quote
That just makes me SOOOO mad!
:evil:
They do that all the time when there is a coupon in the ad...
They put every single department on sale, so you are limited to buying some non-essential item...
Between that and the Fine Print of ...not irons, sewing machines, etc...etc... Boy that rattles my last nerve...
But unfortunately they are about the only fabric store in my area!!! :cry:

This is a lovely case to carry your blocks in and sewing notions. Great for traveling.
Also wanted to ask, at our Joannes the coupon is only good for one yard of fabric. I didn't realize to purchase the whole blot of fabric. Is that the way it goes??? That will be worth it for sure. Also it says on the coupon--not to be used with any other coupon! Am I missing something?? Please help... loosing my value of all my coupons.

The store clerk said she'd let me have both pieces as one cut & I could use my coupon. I mostly do large quilts & prefer my backing to be at least 3 1/2 yards. There were 2 other partial bolts of the same fabric on the shelf & I asked her if I could try another & see if any measured out to the 3 1/2 yards & swap that for the 3 yard piece. Long story short she did. So I got enough backing to do at least 2 quilts & have some left for smaller projects for the Grand Daughters.
I also agree that too many items are marked on sale so you can't use your coupons.
Another thing that makes me go GRRR was last years Black Friday sales....they had better prices after Black Friday & many of us bought large ticket items, only to find they were on sale for a lot less a few weeks later. The year before Black Friday sales were great. I made out like a bandit. It'll be interesting to see what they do this year.

watch out when they do that putting 2 cuts as one if you need to return for any reason they will tell you it is not on your recpt and refuse it they are not supposed to do that it is supposed to be listed as each item i would have made her open the new bolt and cut ur full amount off[/quote]
I've never had to return fabric. They only had partial bolts, or I would have gotten a whole bolt.

coupons read "X% off any ONE regular priced item" then in smaller print "a single cut of by-the-yard" I take that to mean a whole bolt could be a SINGLE cut. NOT 1 yard ! If they only allow you 1 yard per coupon, the sales clerks are not reading their own ad.

Here in CA we don't seem to have many fabric stores left. So sad. Was trying to find large flower print for a trellis wall hanging I'm making but haven't had any luck so far.
