    I did well a couple of weeks ago with the red tag 50% off. Got lots of Debbie Mumm, and some solids, and some small white prints. Spent about 125 dollars, but have at least three projects washed, sorted and the patterns chosen. I just have to keep myself away from JoAnn's and remember to stay in my sewing room!

    I was really hoping you would have a good time on your fabric trip. Mine have gotten too few and far between. I know how you feel about the fabric prices, it's depressing to get your hopes up and then have such a let down.
    And about the "shopper" in line ahead of you...just think, you got to go home with "yourself", she has to live with "herself".

    maybe rude quilter isnt' a quilter at all..she didn't admit to being one...she may be making picnic table clothes...when i've run into rudeness at the fabric store it's usually someone who really has no idea what a quilter is...they do 'home decor' projects and (think) they are above everyone else...a quilter will proudly admit to being one ;)

    I agree with many of you....quilters are not rude or mean!

    As for JoAnn fabrics....I have never been real happy with their fabrics. Over time, they always have faded on me....I've had fabric from quilt stores for years and my quilts using their fabrics still are as good as new. I've been told that the fabrics the craft stores purchase is not the same quality - no matter what the price. Anyone else out there find this to be true?

    IF you still choose to use JoAnn Fabrics (like I do when making kid's items - because I know they wear them out sooner anyways)....I wait for the big coupons or 30-50% off weekends - like this weekend is 50% off all flannels!

    I just had a disappointing trip to JoAnns. Bought a small bundle of fat eigths that when I got them home you could almost see through them. Then the piece of blue I bought when I unfolded it had strips of masking tape on it. Whatever for? And of course left a sticky residue. Would have taken it all back but live too far away. :-(
