But I just can't afford to shop there! It is getting quite ridiculous especially when notions can be found on line at a much more reasonable price and that includes shipping and exchange rates. I can't believe I just typed that. Sorry to hear about recent shipments being stolen, that's awful!

This is much less expensive but you may have to tape together to get the width you need. <br /><br />Also, at Fabricland, I always wait for the sale before buying fabric and often wait for the sales for interfacing and motions.

I never renewed my membership this year as I thought it was pointless. I know prices in Canada are higher than anywhere else, but their pricing is an insult ! They closed their stores in Saskatchewan over a year ago and I guess we are next. How I long for the days of Fabricland, Fabric Center and the other independents. I would rather shop locally, but their prices are forcing us to go elsewhere. Makes it difficult if I am working on a project and need supplies I don't have in my stash. Ordering online is not great either as I have had two recent shipments stolen. It is becoming a very frustrating world !Pat Danylishinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-16866342888521110812019-09-08T13:27:43.397-05:002019-09-08T13:27:43.397-05:00I agree.

BUT the price was marked at $21.99! Ridiculous. The same fabric at Mood was $7.99 a yard. So it's very apparent JoAnn Fabrics is up to their old tricks of raising the prices so they can give you a "discount." I won't bite. I'd much rather buy from a fabric store with good service and good quality. LyndaSewing.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089629519757691936noreply@blogger.com
