Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, their prices seem to be creeping higher to offset the discount games they play, so I'm going to have to keep an eye on that.
this is exactly my feeling.. I have never been happy with the fabric there, personally I dont want to waste my time 'searching' for better fabrics BUT I do buy stabilizers and all kinds of Pellon products and notions: rulers, blades, Ginghers, , thread, and the like ONLY WITH A COUPON and or ift in sale and i can still use my 10-20% discount on sale items.. However I do have a LQS that is HALF the cost of Joannes fabrics and MUCH better quality.. so Joannes for me is an IN AND OUT shopping..
i get mailers, emails, and online codes so when i go in i have a min of 10-20 coupons at a time to use.. I grab what i need and head out..
