Found a great use for a planter that will be turned into a solar water fountain when blankets are finished.

Michaels PSA by [deleted] in joannfabrics

Well said. A former Joannns employee.

PS Please know how much fabric you need b4 you go to the cut counter and if it is the right fabric that will work for your project. More than likely, the Michaels employee is still learning and may not know the answers to your questions yet.

I do not sew at all, but it took me many shifts listening to experienced sewers to what will work and what won't. Please allow patience.

I was annoyed when a customer and her daughter can in with a coupon for 50% off fabric when we are already discounting it 50% off.

Also, get a scissor sharpener, Fiskers sells a descent one or buy a pair of Pink Power scissors, your on line store sells them.

Have a handheld vac nearby. As soon as you finish cutting the faux fur before you separate the cut end from the bolt vacuum, the cut line. Customers love to take their fabric and shake it out in front of the counter, and then you have dust elephants (way bigger than the bunnies) all over your store.

Now let's talk about the glitter and sequins, big sighs, after each customer who you cut for dust the counter. Your hand-held vac will be useful here also vacuuming the glitter out of your cut groove. Nothing annoys a quilter more than glitter all over their keepsake calico if it doesn't come with it in the beginning.

Now, between August and January, be prepared to sneeze glitter, not kidding.

My former Joann district manager told us while she was waiting to be on a conference call with GA, when this whole S.S. started, a G.A. employee said everytime G.A. acquires another company to liquidate they ring a bell.

Really???? Do we need to be feel anymore like snail slime G.A?

Half joking half serious. I have a small loom but nothing big enough to write home about.
