Crafts retailer JOANN files for bankruptcy
(WJET/WFXP) — Crafts retailer JOANN filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy early Monday morning. The company, with over 800 stores nationwide, is best known for selling craft supplies, home decor and sewing supplies.

The filing allows JOANN to continue to operate while it repays its debts, meaning no stores or online shopping is expected to be affected by the filing, according to a press release. Additionally, any obligations to employees, vendors, landlords and other trade creditors will be paid or otherwise satisfied in full.

Re: Crafts retailer JOANN files for bankruptcy
Joann's took over for House of fabrics. House of fabrics was so much better and much more affordable.

does this mean that they're now going to sell fabric at normal prices? instead of $6.95 to $13.95 for a yard is it going to go back to $3.50?

Oh and yeah Jo-Ann's first and foremost sells Fabric and nothing but fabric; the rest is incidentals because why would you need sewing supplies if they do not sell fabric to sew LOL

Weaving, spinning, knitting, dyeing, and sewing. Making numerous things for your home are hard wired, we're made this way.

I kind of doubt that. Etsy is just one online source of many, and Etsy isn’t that healthy, either. Pull up their stack numbers and graphs. Falling to earth. eBay style money grab tactics are killing that platform. That, and letting in the cheap overseas wholesalers.

We just don’t place much value on sewing, anymore. Sad.

No I really don't craft, but I like to make something homemade every now and again. It's a mom thing. Dollar tree and Michaels don't sell fabric tard.

One year I bought fabric at JoAnnes and sewed scarves for everyone for christmas. They looked really funny and amateur looking but who cares it was fun

Wtf? Lol

You're getting so heated over something that shouldn't even concern you.

And, as if, I never touch hard liquor for the record.

My family members liked my scarves because they were obviously homemade and that's cool to some people. Not you, of course, because you're a loser who probably buys tacky overpriced crap at Macy's. Whatever.

Canadian. And I don't let people control my language. Been spinning yarn for nearly 40 years. Been knitting for nearly 50 years. And if I want to call it crafting, I will. Creative pursuits can be called many things. Artisan. Crafts. And you can take your negativity and flush it down the toilet.

I drag the wife around the many TRUE Amish and some Mennonite quilt and fabric shops in the Lancaster, PA region a couple times a year.

They're not online, many only have gas lamps for light. No phone, no electricity so you have to be in the know on where to find them.

Joann was her backup so this sux for her.
