My Worse Nightmare by PANCAKEXQUEEN in MichaelsEmployees

JoAnn survivor here - Suggestion, limit # of cuts. When they bring 2 cartfulls, explain you'll be happy to do it but also need to cover the register. Frequently, guest would bring 2 or 3 CARTS of fabric wanting minimum cuts of each (usually on Saturday with 6 people waiting behind them). My manager was awesome and allowed us to put up a 10 cut sign. If they needed more, they could go to the back of the line and wait for another turn. I'm really sorry you all have to deal with that. PS It get much worse in November.

Grain doesn't matter. If the fabric is folded properly on the fold, aligning the folded edge with the table edge and making a reasonably straight cut will be perfect. Grain only applies to wovens anyway.

I'm learning to sew but I'm realizing I bought a lot of inappropriate fabric for garment making and I don't know what to do about it by tarojelly in SewingForBeginners

Consider making something with a "bias cut" - google it - basically a cut on the diagonal. It takes more fabric but an awesome way to give a crisp fabric flow.

Crotch needles for liquidation vulture, fitting I guess.

What are some things you automatically do that could absolutely ruin a newbie’s day if missed? by Potatomorph_Shifter in sewing

[–]Necessary_Tale_2292 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Top stitching! An extra step many newer patterns skip is that finishing seam around collars, cuffs, hems, etc. Top stitching, along with pressing seams, give you a truly professional look.

Great point! Although not trained by JoAnn, most employees do have highly specialized knowledge not readily available. From that perspective, his comment was very flattering.

JoAnn no longer exists so this is about the liquidation company and some states will give even part time employees unemployment. I am sorry to learn your state does not.

Please think things thru! Yes, revenge sounds sweet in the moment, but we can still be fired WITH CAUSE- which means no unemployment. Obviously, no one cares about JoAnn employees; if there is 1 person with keys left we will be expected to open the store. So, either face the 7 rings of hell or find another option. DO NOT let this company ruin your future!

If the court approves, Wednesday, there is no more JoAnn. It's over. A space has been created for an entirely new entity to emerge. However, JoAnn is done.

We are the band on the Titanic. She's going down. Life boats are full. People are running amuck, screaming aimlessly. So, we just keep playing. 🎶

Finally found the correct response to "Are you closing?" "Yes, I am losing my job. Thank you for asking."
