What do you buy??
At Joanns? Just curious. I tend to shop at quilt shops because I love the quality of the fabric. There is always chatter about shopping at the chains. Enlighten me!
thank you

JoAnn's has some nice quality fabrics too. Not all of it... but you can find good fabric there if you look. I suggest you go into a JoAnn's and take a look (and feel) of their fabrics and decide for yourself. They also have sales and coupons, and sometimes you can get really good prices that way.

I buy Warm and Natural batting, some thread, Kona muslin or Kona Black, Heat and Bond, Temporary spray adhesive, gridded interfacing, and Sewing Machine needles. Once in a while a package of rotary cutting blades. I shop the sales and use coupons .. I vow to not pay full price at Jo'Anns since their regular prices seem inflated to me.

I shop Joanne's and Walmart because they are my only choices and they are each still 40 miles away! I do get a lot of things online, because even with shipping I pay less than if I drove to someplace to purchase said items. I love Connecting Threads and Missouri Star Quilt Company for their daily deals!

I shop everywhere there's fabric. I'm looking for quality (won't compromise) with good prices. JoAnns has come a long way with the quality of their Keepsake brand and their Quilters Quality brand. They carry designers, Susan Winglet, Tim Holtz, Debbie Mumm, and others. Yes you can still find inferior fabric but I also think that's with any brand. I've been collecting Kaffe Fassett fabrics for some time now and I wouldn't use his shot cotton if they paid me.

NOTIONS, NOTIONS, NOTIONS!! They recently had a 70% off your entire purchase coupon on their notion wall and I tore it up! Hand & machine needles, bobbins, thimbles, marking pens, pencils and markers, seam rippers, etc. at 70% off I was able to purchase several thimbles to try as I am in search of the perfect thimble! I had a big bag of things for under $20.

Notions and fusible interfacing but only if there is a sale or I have coupon. Unfortunately I rarely get the coupons because I don't shop there often enough. If you don't use a coupon every few months they quit sending them to you.

I buy my fabric at QS, usually at Sale prices. Quilt fabric does not have to be $11.00 or $12.00 a yd. I do this because I love Moda, Benartex, etc. I do buy my notions, embroidery floss, batting, and fusibles at JoAnns.
