Jo Anne's closing
#111
When I am buying online I find that if I enlarge the picture of the fabric I get a truer idea of the colors. Then I more that picture over and open the next and put them side by side. That way I can make sure they match.

I hope all Joann's close. I call them Junk Shops. The one in my town you can hardly get through the isles for all the junk. Hancocks is almost the same except their isles are wider. Both have cheaper grade fabrics too. I don't like chain stores for fabric much prefer a LQS.

They will be liquidating their current location in February and re-opening at the new location in March...YAY!!! She said more fabric, more crafts, a framing area and room for classes. It's a Super Joann's. :)

Quilters Emporium was just featured in the BHG Quilt Sampler Top 10 Shops - if you haven't seen it yet :)

Oh, I so agree, I really can't picture material on the computer in
things I want to make, I have to feel it, move it around see if
something else goes with it. The fabric shops are hurting and it
is sad. My dream was to always have my own fabric shop.
Two have closed in area and it really saddens me. Our Walmart
too has downsized their fabric area, when word got out that they were getting rid of material, the community was in an panic and
wrote to the corporate office. So, we still have it but it is limited.

We have one JoAnns left in our area. Used to have four. The store remaining is very new, bright and attractive but it seems they are moving further and further away from sewing and more into crafts. Never bought much quilt fabric there anyway because we have good quilt shops close by with a great assortment of quality fabric. It was good for home dec though and still has a good amount of that.
