I've never seen a 70% off coupon in my life. Aren't all JoAnns the same.?

and Nammie what do you do with headliner fabric?

Joann's has decent fabric but you have to look and feel for it. Their sales are brilliant - I bought a fabulous quilting light on a stand - the Ott light, which I like a lot. I buy notions there as they have Dritz, F&P and so on. Sewing machine needles - I don't always need a titanium needle from superior threads, for sure.

I do most of my shopping online. If I need to physically pick up something, I go to Hancock, because it is more convenient for me. Hobby Lobby is so big, I get lost! I've never been in Joann, though there is one in town. I would look at Wal-Mart, but the nearest one doesn't have fabric. I really dislike shopping, so online is my first choice.

I do agree that their prices are inflated so they can advertise discounted prices. I have found Jo Anns to have more lesser quality fabric than they did years ago. The best deals are using the discount coupons on the sewing notions and battings. The store in my area has very poor help and changes a lot,,,looks like a poor work environment but I am sure other stores have help that is trained better. Even a smile would welcome more people into their store. JHO

I buy, thread, buttons, interfacings, flannel for underlining, rotary blades (with the coupon!) and a lot of little extras. Occasionally, I will buy some fabric but not often.

I never shop at the store any more. They're over priced, under stocked, and the one here is now focused on art supplies in an unsuccessful attempt to compete with the Michael's down the road. I do buy a 35 yard bolt of Wonder Under with a 50% coupon once a year or so at JoAnn's online, but the physical store could burn down and I wouldn't notice.

Pretty much the only thing I get are notions or non-quilting craft supplies

I only buy non-fabric items. I try to buy fabric at my LQS just to help keep them in business. So many have closed over the past few years which saddens me. But the cost of fabric is so expensive nowadays.

I buy notions: rulers, sewing machine needles, rotary cutter blades, stencils, template plastic, stuff like that. Once in a while, I'll pick up a book or some cute buttons, but I don't buy fabric or thread there.

i believe the 70% coupon came to me (and the 20+ people who were in the notions aisle with me!) thru an email. It was also on their website. It was a 1 day only coupon and it was on a Sunday.

I don't know about Nammie but I use the headliner fabric in bags and wallets. I have ever since I tore apart a Vera Bradley wallet that was worn out and I wanted to use it as a pattern to make one just like it. It sure looks like headliner fabric inside those bags and wallets!!!
