Joann Fabrics is set to exit Chapter 11 Bankruptcy – What happened and What does this mean to you!!

Any day now, the signed decree is expected from the court. This means Joann stores will remain open!

Full disclosure – I am a sewist and not a bankruptcy specialist. These are my thoughts – a “Byrd’s-Eye” View!!

What’s the one thing you would want to see in your local Joann’s?

@judyhoomalamalama says:

One of the cleanest Joanns I have ever been to is in astoria Oregon and they had really nice material not the material in some in wa state in my area

@judyhoomalamalama says:

who mismanaged the funds. I dont understand what really happened. The patterns are hard to find. Makes me sad. I use to purchase some of my arcylic yarn for knitting and they usually had enough to knit a sweater as sometimes the local yarn shops never had enough for a full sweater. I have found Riely Blake material at Joanns. I never have seen the same staff members at my local joanns. Not sure what that means.

The JoAnn in Woodbury Mn. Has no Velcro, lots of empty shelves, low selection of thread, the condition of the store is poor.

Hi, is there online shopping option? Please share website. Thanks.

@Santaesmey says:

Specialty fabrics like Lacy with decorative bead work. What's crazy is that I can go to downtown Los Angeles and it is really cheap.

@Santaesmey says:

It would be great if Jo-Anns merged or collaborated with Sew & Vac Centers. Jo-Anns needs to sell better quality sewing machines than just the mainstream brands that Walmart and Hobby lobby offer.

@Santaesmey says:

Staff shortest is definitely a problem. We move state to state every 2 yrs cause we are military, and I can attest to Jo-Anns being short staffed everywhere. There's usually only 3 at best. 1 working the cash register and 1 the cutting counter and 1 restocking. It's not good, and I love Jo-Anns. I still prefer going to Jo-Anns, then Hobby Lobby and Michaels do not have fabric selections, nor does it carry a wide variety of yarn like Jo-Anns.

@feliciajones3394 says:

They are so expensive in that store even with fabric and different stuff I admit they do have beautiful fabric then the other fabric store but they are so expensive

@lacygray524 says:

That would've been a tragedy to shut down JoAnns!!

@jcnyc55 says:

This looks like the Chicago location

@sellonsergal says:

I always gripe that there's only one joanns in my town, and it doesn't have a viking dealer.
But I'll accept being able to have a joanns at all.
Without joanns id be stuck with walmart and hobby lobby fabric 💀

My JoAnn’s has a ton of fleece and flannel. My staff is fabulous and very nice and helpful.

@susanakfogel8217 says:

Would like to see garment fabric silk noil, linen fabric in wide Lakes, beautiful high-quality cotton that are not quilting cotton. Change your store from a fleece back to a fabric store get rid of the permeates and there are days I can’t be in the store fill in the inventory in your notions department, which is bare in my store, most importantly, quality, garment, fabrics, natural fiber, quality, garment, fabrics

@gailgolden6960 says:

Six months ago (?), the Joann in Cary, NC, had MANY longtime, knowledgeable employees. Very suddenly, almost ALL of those employees were let go. The young people that work there now TRY to be helpful, but, they aren’t sewists, or crafters. They don’t really know anything about fabric, or notions, or sewing machines, or patterns. They DO know where stuff is located in the store 🙂

@vickislominski7618 says:

I swore off Joann a year ago. The store is woefully understaffed and it's dirty. What finally killed it for me, tho, was checking out. Time after time the prices came up incorrectly. I'm pretty patient, but it just became too much trouble. Thank you for the update.

@gamk8348 says:

Probably can’t get staff because they only pay minimum wage!

@Catlud12-sx6iw says:

When I looked last at board of directors none seemed to have come from garment/fabric industry. That needs to change…
