Wow, did I learn something today. Am recovering a tabletop ironing board for a friend from work who does not have money to buy a new one. I printed out a tutorial on how to do it and they called for insulbright to use if you are using a cotton fabric for the top piece. Figured I would stop by after work and buy some. Well, at lunch, I decided to go to JoAnn's website to see how much it costs---1 yard 22" wide=$8.00 Ok, so with 40 percent off coupon, it would be $4.80 not bad. Then I thought of Hobby Lobby because it is closer---looked up their website---same width, same 1 yard=$2.99 a yard. Called both stores and the prices above are exactly what they charge. Guess you know where I went to buy it??!! Thought I would pass it on since a lot of you have been making pot holders, oven mitts and hot pads lately. Funny thing is that last time I bought it, was 1-1/2 years ago to make OSU candle matts for my daughters reception at her wedding and it was only $5.99 per year at JoAnn's

It always pays to price shop! And, yes, everything is going up and up and up...except salaries! :)

Very true!

Thanks for sharing. Sometimes those 40% off coupons can be a bit misleading. Kudos to you for going a step further and truly getting the better price. ;-)

I'd like to get more info about the ironing board. Is the Insulbright supposed to be used for the top layer? Please PM me with anymore information.
Thank you,

Wow, thx for sharing!

Thanks! It really does pay to shop around!

talk about a price difference!!!

Makes you wonder about Joanne's coupons. I use them a lot and it seems like they are really pushing them,even offering 25% off now. I think checking prices can really help.

Thanks for the information
