WalMart is now bringing back to their stores a very nice line of fabrics, qujilting notions, as well as all of the accessories, and a lot of the fabric I saw was the same as JoAnn's had for several dollars more. |
so sorry something wasn't working and I clicked too many times. senior moment....

You can put a little bit of oil, mayo and peanut butter works too, on the glue surface, work it in and wash it out. This will remove adhesives on most any surface.

We noticed that a couple of years ago. The Fat quarters at Joanne's have been shorter and , yes, it makes it difficult to make patterns hat call for fat qts.
|
some of Marti Michelle patterns call for fat quarters that are based on 45" fabrics- now how long has it been since fabrics were usable at 45" so if cut in half a fat quarter is not 23"X 18 and that makes a difference, so again consumers beware, Thanks the the tip I had not noticed the difference.
I always feel like the value is shrinking on FQ seems to be so many of them because it;s never enough for the project, but they are cute in baskets . . . |

Just like the size of stuff in the grocery store that is shrinking. (Not the price though).

We use to be able to buy those for less than a dollar.
Yeah, same thing happened to me. I lost 3 out of the dozen I bought, but they were only .75 cents each. Still irrating tho. |
