Just the other day I tried to email JoAnn's Fabric to complain about my local store, it's horrible and the sales people are horrible as well. The store is always in shambles and the fabric selection sucks. I'm glad I'm not the only one.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305569483103134078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737630594719234087.post-77964947810075007002009-03-24T09:00:00.000-04:002009-03-24T09:00:00.000-04:00That flowered dress is super cute!That flowered dress is super cute!Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737630594719234087.post-30714982508533591002009-03-23T00:29:00.000-04:002009-03-23T00:29:00.000-04:00I would TOTALLY wear that dress, especially with t...I would TOTALLY wear that dress, especially with the tights and shoes.

Folded, the fabric measured a scant 1 yard, 13 inches. The sales associate, eyebrows raised, argued with the client about the shortage. I almost suggested measuring the salvage, rather than the fold, when the customer finally (!)suggested that herself, stating that the fabric had NOT been folded when the cut was made. Moral of the story: the fabric had not been cut straight and the customer had been shorted the few inches in the middle of the cut. I will be watching JoAnn's like a hawk. Sadly, it's the only game in town.Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737630594719234087.post-43438441997201298382009-03-22T22:35:00.000-04:002009-03-22T22:35:00.000-04:00I love her dress with the bright blue tights!
