OK, I might not be literally crying, but I am sad about Joanns* closing. I sew and craft often, and I'm not really sure where I can shop instead. Other than Hobby Lobby (of which I am not a fan) there are no other options even remotely close to me. I don't mind getting some things via mail order, but fabric quality varies widely and I like to feel it before I buy it. Is anyone familiar with any mail order fabric shops that sell quality fabric? If you know of one, please share!
*It's a Michigan thing. We have a tendency to add an "s" to the end of store names. Kroger becomes Krogers, Meijer becomes Meijers - my mom even calls Costco Costcos, (which does sound odd to me.) It's weird, but for some reason it's what Michiganders do, and it drives my Hoosier-husband crazy.
Depends on what type fabric you’re wanting. For knits, I like amandasbundles.com, great quality at wonderful prices. For quilting cottons, fat quarter shop.com has the good stuff albeit pricey. I avoid spoonflower, didn’t care the the quality.
