Here's one they have from Pellon. http://www.batt-mart.com/site/490194/product/PL-AR-96-ROLL<br /><br /> I usually use Quilter's Dream---all cotton and light.<br />Joann's....yeah, they do that a lot. I have better luck ordering on line from them than in the stores.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812403078896728901.post-15303025611587119592013-09-29T11:00:47.869-04:002013-09-29T11:00:47.869-04:00I really dislike Joann for the reasons already not...I really dislike Joann for the reasons already noted by others. The coupons only on nonsale items really bugs me since I can rarely use them. I stopped bothering even clipping them. I only shop there for floss and notions now, but I'm fortunate to have many quilt shops to choose from. Love your pictures.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835208971743967582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812403078896728901.post-6433683013745793922013-09-29T10:34:29.731-04:002013-09-29T10:34:29.731-04:00Like you my drive to the JoAnn's store that I ...Like you my drive to the JoAnn's store that I shop at is an hour away for me...that said, they are actually pretty good about having what is on sale...sometimes they do not have it and they tell you...I do think you should be given a gift card due to your driving there on an employee's word that the batting was indeed in stock...of course the store I go to is in a high end area and that could be the reason it is so well maintained...I usually only use them for rotary cutters, thread, batting and bleached muslin...I used to buy my fabric at a local quilt shop, but sadly they closed over a year ago...now all fabric is ordered online from great shops I trust...Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778881951560644932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812403078896728901.post-81476307015193169072013-09-29T01:04:20.042-04:002013-09-29T01:04:20.042-04:00I seldom use JoAnn's, but I know they take ord...I seldom use JoAnn's, but I know they take orders at customer service. The drawback is you have to order in the store and pick it up in the store. I love the photos of the twins.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716690020687995783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812403078896728901.post-13232093621884660922013-09-28T22:50:05.004-04:002013-09-28T22:50:05.004-04:00I really, really, really don't like the bait-n...I really, really, really don't like the bait-n-switch technique. I also don't like when a "lazy" employee, of any business, says "yes we have that product in stock", when they don't. Part of Customer Service is acknowledging what they have in stock vs don't. And, everyone, including employees and Corporate mgmt needs to understand fuel prices are excessive and to keep us as happy and loyal customers we periodically need to verify before we make the drive.<br /><br />To me, JoAnns needs to give you a gift certificate to compensate you for fuel and time. Sorry, but I'm serious about this. <br /><br />I do appreciate the insight on Pellon Nature's Touch. I've not used it, but have used Warm & Natural (which I like, as well as many other brands). I'll definitely give Pellon's Nature Touch a try based on your recommendation.<br /><br />And, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing baby thru pre-teen photos of the terrible twins. :)<br /><br />SewCalGal<br />www.sewcalgal.blogspot.comSewCalGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062059207544865569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812403078896728901.post-38187330555021803782013-09-28T20:56:31.438-04:002013-09-28T20:56:31.438-04:00I only use JoAnns for items like Schmetz needles a...I only use JoAnns for items like Schmetz needles and only when the notions aisle is all 50% off. Otherwise they are pretty much worthless for good fabric or batting. Have you checked out some online sources that have free shipping? I love free shipping and even if I have to pay, with the price of gas home delivery is much more to my liking. <br />Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812403078896728901.post-3609291145844447182013-09-28T18:38:07.496-04:002013-09-28T18:38:07.496-04:00We have 4 Joann's in a 45 minute radius and th...We have 4 Joann's in a 45 minute radius and they all do the same thing - also, 3 of them are so horribly 'filthy' that I no longer shop them. And the coupons - only on non-sale items, but usually everything is 'on sale' so you can't use the coupons anyway. I DO NOT shop Joanns! I'll support my two local quilt shops instead.Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.com
