JoAnn's fabric widths
#5
Most of the fabric I've purchased in the last couple of years is less than 45. Most of the time it's 40-42 or so. Sometimes even less usable fabric if the print on the selvedge is an inch wide.
I've found this true for all the brands I've bought, not just Joann's.

The project I'm working on right now is a flannel quilt. It's made from quilt shop flannel. I'm doing a jelly roll race, making my own strips. I was amazed at the difference in the widths. That and the fact that some selvage prints take up so much room that could be used otherwise. It really doesn't matter for this quilt since it all really gets used and doesn't need to match up but it was an eye opener. Sad thing is, think of all the books and patterns we have that were written for 45 inch fabric. Good thing, I always overbuy for a project!
