My wife is a regular at our local Joann Fabrics. I have a reserved seat at the cutting table.
Oh, it seems my local Joann fabric store is closing. I can’t say I spent a lot of time there. Their fabrics were gaudy and cheap. You could not get expert advice on their use. They had a lousy selection of photo frames. They barely offered anything for making jewelry or stuff for other hobbies. They featured a lot of home decor stuff which was not involved in home-crafting, the reason many of us would go there. Unless there was a sale, prices were high. I could get the same stuff across the street at Hobby Lobby or around the corner at Michael’s (which has greatly deteriorated as well). The store in Timonium (another Baltimore suburb) is better.
