We love it,clean,neat,nice workers. Sign up for thier sales fliers, and you will get one every week. The clerks are happy tell you how to use all the coupons, savings are good. Choices of material great , some thing for every one.

I personally do not like the quality of their fabric for cottons .I machine appliqued place mats for my table .They were used daily and washed and dried frequently I used both joann and quilt store fabrics.Surprise surprise after a few months the joanns fabric had lost a lot of design in the print and had a muddy look and the tone on tone was no longer tone on tone.The quilt store fabrics were still bright and looked good I did not do this for a test because at that time I was using anything available but not now.I also saw a 10 year old quilt made from joann cotton and it too was badly faded.

There are regular-sized stores and superstores. The superstores are big and have lots and lots of different items but the regular stores have limited stuff. I have a farther drive to (a regular)JoAnns than to Hancocks, Michaels or my LQS so it's rare that I go unless I have a specific need and a good coupon.

Besides work, Joann's is my home away from home. It's where I go for most of my fabrics etc. The larger stores are nice with the variety of seasonal items, framing, beading and FABRICS!! Love it! I always go with a coupon!
