I am new to this web site, and I did not think it was meant to put down anyone. It was just funny to read. I think I would have pulled the young gal aside and explain to her what and how it was used for and what it was what I was looking for and perhaps try and locate it with her in the store. All us seasoned sewers have a pretty good idea of where it may have been in Joann's but it doesn't hurt to get their supervisors involved. They change these stores around so often that its hard to go in and find where things are located. This was meant only as a good laugh I'm sure and we would all be respectful of this young one's desire to learn.
