Joann Fabrics Knowledge Base
Joann Fabrics? Does anyone know how to look at patterns on Joann Fabrics online? Can you even? Thanks everyone!
JoAnn Fabrics? I'm not sure where to put this question but does anyone know if you can order ribbon at JoAnn's? Like if you bought spools of ribbon that were "buy by the spool" & you need 12 of them, could they order more in for you? I know I asked a lady there one time about wedding invitations & she said anything with a bar code can be ordered but I didnt know if that applied to ribbon too? Thanks so much!
How are the sewing classes at JoAnn Fabrics? I would like to take beginner's sewing classes. I'm fairly crafty and love to knit, and wanted to learn how to make my own window treatments and pillow cases, fairly simple things, and eventually move on to things like quilts and clothes. I do not know how to sew at all and was looking at JoAnn Fabrics' classes. I was curious if anyone had ever taken them and had any input on them. Additionally, if anyone knows of any places that offer sewing classes in the southwest suburbs of Chicago that would be great.... preferably in Orland Park or surrounding areas.

What is the minimum cut of fabric I can get at Joann Fabrics? I am making a quilt and will need only 1/2 yard cuts of multiple prints and was wondering if they have a policy of a minimum length of cut? I've heard that they only sell cuts of fabrics in whole yards, minimum cut of 1 - Or can I get 1/2 yard or even 1/4 yard cuts if that is all I need? Thanks in advance!
Why aren't Joann Fabrics fat quarters available in larger bolts? I keep finding these quarters in prints that I love at Joann's only to find that they aren't available in longer lengths. I asked a couple workers and they had no idea why they weren't available in bolt lengths. Does anybody know why they don't carry the longer sides and where I might find their distributor? Thanks in advance.
Who designs the fabrics for Joann Fabrics? There are fabrics available at Joann Fabrics that say on them they are exclusively designed for and sold at Joann's, so who designs them? Does Joann's have an in-house design team, or do they work with freelance designers for their fabric patterns?
What are the usual dimensions of fabrics at Joann Fabrics? I usually just go by one measure meant (ex: Just getting 3 feet of this and that, etc, no matter what the other length was) And I've never really taken into account what the other length might be. ^^' I ask this because I need 4 feet by 4 feet of fabric (jut enough to make a cape/robe for my cousin's birthday). thank you for your answers. ^^
Is it hard to get a job at Joann Fabrics? I just turned in my application two days ago and I was wondering how long I would have to wait for them to call me back for an interview? I'm asking for people who have worked there before. I have no work experience, no special skills, and I'm 16. Do you think I would have a chance of getting the job? I went to so many places applying for jobs and this is my last resort. Are they really selective when choosing employees? All the workers there seem really old.. like 45+.

"joann fabrics - have they filed bankruptcy"? I went on a sewing retreat this past weekend, and two people said that Joann Fabrics has filed some type of bankruptcy proceedings. Our Hancock Store is closing and if Joann closes, we will have nothing left but Walmart. Is it true about bankruptcy filing (whether it's Chapter 11 or Chapter 13) about Joanne Fabrics??
Does Joann fabrics sell Marfy patterns? Yeah, there were Marfy patterns on the Butterick, Simplicity, and McCall's websites but I couldn't find the Marfy pattern at Joann's. Do they not sell them?
Does anyone else feel this is rude? (JoAnn Fabrics)? For the past three months I have been going to the JoAnn Fabrics near my house that has a Framing center. The lady there grew to know me and had been giving me student discounts. What I had her do is cut mat board for me for my pictures ( I am majoring in photography therefore taking photography classes and I needed to mat my pictures). Well two days ago she told me that she wasn't making a profit off of cutting those for me and basically told me she couldn't cut them for me anymore and asked if I had anywhere else to get them cut. Wtf? Would she tell a customer who wants a frame done that she couldn't do it for them and to go somewhere else? I don't think so. I don't mind having to pay full price for my pictures to look nice or anything because when I cut my own mat board it looks kinda bad and it takes me forever. Do you feel this was kind of rude? Should I go back and see if I can pay full price? I don't know what to do =( Thanks. I don't understand how I was taking advantage of her time if I was a paying customer.... I also try to take my pictures as soon as I can so I have the dimensions a week before my project is due so that the JoAnn fabrics lady will have more time do cut the mat.
Joann Fabrics stole from me? To make a very long story short, a manager at Joann's took back fabric I had bought there as a return without a receipt. He printed out a "return w/o receipt" receipt for me stating corporate would refund me for the fabric in 2 weeks. It's been well over 2 weeks, now this manager is nowhere to be found. I've left numerous messages for managers, have sent emails, called corporate....if I have been able to reach a live person, they say, "Our hands are tied, there's nothing we can do." I have asked for the merchandise back since they obviously don't plan to refund me - ever. They refuse to give it back but won't admit that this is otherwise STEALING. I am just wondering what recourse I have. I am so frustrated and I can't believe they are getting away with this. What to do next? No one will give me a phone number for a regional/district manager and they just give me a useless 800 number. Help? (They owe me $160 which is a big chunk of change for me).

How many Joann Fabric's coupon can be used at once? I have a whole bunch of Joann's coupons- some are 40% off any one regular-priced fabric, some are 50% off any one regular-priced item-but they all say "limit one coupon per regular priced item. Cannot be combined with any other discount or coupon." Does that mean I can only use one coupon for my entire purchase or that I can only use one coupon per item I buy?

Where can I get quality apparel fabrics? (Please do not suggest Joann, Michael's or Wal-Mart, I think they cater mostly to Holiday and quilting crowds). Over the years, I've noticed that the major difference between a cheap looking clothes and quality looking clothes was the fabric and stitching. I like to make my summer dresses but my attempt hasn't been successful because I couldn't get quality fabrics. I need to know where to get good apparel fabrics. I am sure fashion design or textile students would go somewhere other than cheap discount stores to get their supplies. Please help, you experts out there!

What is the best fabric paint to use? I really want to get my own fabric paints to do my own t-shirts. I took a class at my school where we made t-shirts, and my teacher said the type that she uses lasts really long, and all you have to do is paint it on and then iron the other side and it'll stick. I'm not sure what brand that was, but is there any good fabric paints that lasts long? Also if you could tell me if it was sold at like a Micheal's or Joann Fabrics, or Craft Warehouse, that would be nice too.

Is it possible to buy the crocheted tops for kitchen towels? Apparently you can buy towels that have crocheted tops that then loop around handles (IE oven/cabinet/fridge handles) and button closed. I've found patterns online on how to make the crocheted tops and then attach them to a towel. My co-worker wants to know if there is a place that you can buy the crocheted tops pre-made so that you could sew them to any towel. We've looked online at Joann fabrics with no success.
