I was looking for the Rose Border print, which my local store (Albany NY) is out of, so I called the store in Queensbury, NY (on-line stock shows they have some in the store). I asked if they had any of your collection of fabrics and the sales associate had no idea what I was talking about! She asked someone else, and they didn't know either! I described it further, and her reply was "Sorry hon, I don't even know what you're talking about." No offer to go and look for it either. I still love your fabrics and will continue to purchase them, but really the sales associates at Jo-Ann's need to know what they're selling in their stores.karisuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747721372389547308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-64137624806845608212015-04-13T11:14:29.123-04:002015-04-13T11:14:29.123-04:00I so wanted the Swiss Dot with Red Roses but it is...I so wanted the Swiss Dot with Red Roses but it is all gone!

It just so happened that I bought fabric for your pattern 6094 months ago and recently made it for a special occasion where I met Tim Gunn of Project Runway. Everyone thought my dress was stunning!

I am a Joann employee and saw the Butterick pattern 6094 using the rose dot sateen fabric in our Fashion Fusion magazine and just loved it so much that I'm making that same dress for Easter. The pattern does not call for a lining on the skirt, did you sew one on that dress? If so what type of lining do you suggest?

They feel they can better differentiate designer collections if they're all on the same fabric, and they chose crepe. I would urge you all to write to spotlight if you're unhappy with the decision so they will take that into consideration for future orders.

They say they are a small store so they may carry a bolt of two in the future, but that's all. Gertie, I've been counting down the days waiting for your fabric line! I'm so disappointed that my JoAnn's isn't carrying it! As you know we really need to feel the fabric in order to decide what to make out of it. Thank you for your detailed description of the fabrics. I will try to order on-line using your descriptions to decide which ones would be best for the patterns I have in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-80236104405155982262015-03-19T08:20:46.874-04:002015-03-19T08:20:46.874-04:00I agree- I saw these a little while back, and looo...I agree- I saw these a little while back, and looove the designs, but I live in Brisbane and it was 36°C today in the middle of autumn, so the poly was just not something I was willing to shell out for in this heat.
