To feel fabrics
You're a weird cookie.
Meh. I'll vouch for McM on this one. My wife used to go there all the time to make blankets for the kids or a pillow for herself.
You absolutely feel the fabric in your fingers before buying. Is it soft enough for being a blanket? Is it too stretchy? Is it too thin so that you can see through it? Does it shed from being rubbed between your fingers?
I think I saw that Micheals has picked up Joanne's fabric suppliers, so there might be a better option in the future.

You think the dude who kept putting air in his tire, so much so that it blew, is there to buy fabric so he can make a blanket?
He's strictly there for the feelz.
It's a rule. When you officially become old, you've got like four options:
Bird Watching
History Buff
Gardening
Sewing your own Clothes
You are required by law to pick one and specialize in it.
(for the record, this year I actually have a volunteer butternut squash plant that so far is producing 3 immensely large gourds but they are still green. I am also looking at a harvest of about 40 sweet potatoes)
@goat it’s actually kind of a big deal. Our factory overseas uses different fabric inserts and covers and Joann was a great quick way to get an idea without having to ship samples. They had everything. Want to see what 82 percent nylon 18 percent Lycra feels like, weight etc, pop up there. Fcking trump

@mcm666 this is the point I keep trying to make. If inflation is running 3%, nobody will care if wages are running 8%. Compare that to the height of Bidenflation at 10% and wages growing 4-5%. It's a big deal for the average person. They go from losing 5% of their purchasing power to gaining 5%.

Are these the fake statistics that we were told to expect from the Deep State bureaucrats wanting to sabotage Trump's agenda?
@unclemark would you agree things are much much better with Trump vs Biden/dems? No crazy gas spike. No 40 year inflation spike. No open borders. No electric insanity. No crazy defund talk. On and on.

My finances are fine and it appears that the overall economy is holding up well -- for now. Time will tell.
In the meantime, Trump is leading us down the authoritarian road, and the damage is incalculable. It will take a generation to restore us to sane, balanced governing, if at all. I truly do fear for my country, no matter the price of crab legs and Starbucks.
@unclemark so you prefer policies that give rise to historic gas spikes, inflation, open borders, and public safety. That’s “sane, balanced governing?”
@unclemark inflation is one of the worse things for a stable society. The middle class gets destroyed and more and more people turn to the government to save them, which makes the problems worse in the long term.
