  • Interesting to know about the industry’s

    I am listening about Joann’s finding for bankruptcy. It is going to be a loss, but I want to make one comment about their fabrics. As someone who sees garments, I find their fabrics to be very disappointing. It is great if you are a quilter or make costumes but it is impossible to find true fabric stores. I can shop online but would rather see the fabrics. By trying to be all things to all crafters, the quality is at a lower common denominator.
