My closest Joann's doesn't "throw in" even a fraction of an inch -- if the beginning cut edge is slightly crooked, they straighten it up and put the cut off strip in a box (for the employees? I wonder?)

Thank you for that great story, I also went to Joann's today, I have asked for help for batting, as I have lots of quilts to make, and no money. I recived a $25.00 gift card to Joann's from a quilt fairy, I was able to get a pack of batting, and a seam ripper. I am still needing more batting, If any one can help me out. but they were all very friendly, and when I asked the price of a roll of batting, the lady went right away and got the priece for me. as for the seam ripper, I am working on a wedding throw, and I started quilting it, and I decided I did not like the quilting, so now I have to pull it all out. I have learned that I better not make to many mistakes, because I just don't have the patients to pull them all out, of course my pain was at an all time high, because I drove, and walk around the store today. God bless.

I have ordered from Joann's onliine but only when they have a lowered shipping price! Normally, it is high! But occasionally they have a 'special' & little or no shipping with a specified anount of order. Their site is not the easiest to travel around but if you stick to it, you can find some good bargains! I have even bought fabric & was pleased with it. :-D You can find rotary blades at a very low price every now & then! But I'm in the store often enough that I don't look on the website very much.

Do you make the magic or sausage pillowcases? I have seen them called by both names. I have been making lots of them too, only to sell at craft shows. This season is my first try with selling them. Only 2 shows so far. One show sold some and the next show sold none! Waiting for the next show to see how they do. They are so fun to make. And the younger kids love to get their own pillowcases. My 4 yr. old grandaughter wants a pillowcase out every princess or fairy fabric she sees!!

Oh by the way...I am glad you had a good experience at JoAnn's. I have not always been really impressed with them. I even worked at JoAnn's for a short time. It was company policy to cut right on the mark. If it was a yard you cut exactly a yard, etc. I had worked in fabric stores before and we always allowed at least a thumb's width more for that little bit of shrinkage. So just to let everyone know when you shop at JoAnn's and you need a certain amount of fabric you may want to be safe and ask for 1/8 yard more. I still shop at JoAnn's but don't buy alot of fabric there, except for fleece!
