    I usually have great luck with Joann's. I've only had two really bad experiences in all the years I have shopped in their stores in Virginia and Tennessee. Both of those bad experiences were in a store that is no lonber open.

    I always have good experiences at our local JoAnn store. Of course it helps to know everyone that works there and call them by name. Everyone likes to hear their name. They have given me stuff on sale before it has gone on sale, given me an Accuquilt die for 40% off because the computer rang it up that way and they always ask me what I am making and how my little dog is doing. I use an electric wheelchair and if they see me coming they hold the door open for me and even let me bring my little dachshund in on my lap. There is a sign on the door that says NO Dogs. My only complaint is that the computer does not always give you the sale price so I always check before I leave to see if everything rang up right. They are all great! Sue

    I just joined the blog. I like reading people's opinions and tips. I really like JoAnn's Fabrics! I am able to find any type of craft supplies I need. The employees are always nice, willing to help, very knowledgeable about crafting and sewing, and they know their merchandise and registers. I drive about 25 miles to the store in Fort Worth on Green Oaks, and their employees are the best and the store is always stocked and clean.

    This is what they did to me too. Only a couple inches but what a waste! She said they couldn't leave it but then gave me 50% off 2 others because it was the end of the bolt. Is there anything as common sense anymore?

    I'm so glad to read this post. I don't drive and rarely get a chance to go shopping for fabric and notions. I've never been to an LQS. (Driver won't take me, LOL! Too far???) So, as a result, I only shop at JoAnn's. I love my JoAnn's! I've never had a problem with them. They have always been helpful and friendly. Sometimes they are really busy and I have to wait for help, but the wait is worth it. So glad to hear you had a positive experience.

    The one thing that I did while I was waiting for my flier when I moved to Nashville was to join the email on the Joann's website. I got emails with the coupons, could print out multiple copies(couldn't use them all together but that's okay)and was able to continue to buy supplies. It took almost two months for my first flier to arrive which is a little long but okay. Now, I can double dip and use the flier coupons and email coupons when I go to Joann's which is usallly every two weeks or so. By the way, has anyone used the Joann website for ordering their supplies? How's the service there? Thanks.

    I was at our Joanns last week & one of the fabrics I wanted had 3" left on the bolt.....I PAID for 3"!! Can you believe it?? If I would have been quick enough, I would have said "No, I don't want it" & let them be stuck with 3"!! Dumb! :roll:
