| - I suppose if you are into fabrics and sewing, this is the place to go. I actually went to check out the sewing classes they're offering, so that I can take the sewing machine I bought at Costco two years ago out of the box. It terrifies me, and I need help. (Think needles in fingers at warp speed!).
But I'm also into crafts - not actually doing them, just stockpiling supplies in various categories for the day when I actually stop going to Yelp events and find the time to do them. And for crafts, Jo-Ann is not the place to go.
Granted, I didn't get there until very late Sunday afternoon. There were shelves and shelves that had nothing on them - totally empty. I'll be kind: maybe there was a big run on paint-by-numbers or basketweaving that day. But the aisles are not marked, and there weren't employees on the floor, so finding anything was a challenge. Maybe this is deliberate, since browsing can lead to buying. The pre-made frames they carry are really cheaply made and cheesy, and so are the artificial flowers. In comparing both of these categories to the choices at Michael's - a store that I'm not crazy about, by the way - Michael's wins hands down. But they don't give sewing classes!
