Keep in mind that Jo-Ann is a RETAIL store, so they are paid to CUT your fabric and ring you out. The employees hired there are there to make money and survive, not all of them sew for a living. Jo-Ann is also a fabric AND craft store, so some may be knitters, painters, or jewelry makers. If you REALLY want a one on one lesson, then you need to go to a mom and pop quilt shop where they are in the business because they love sewing. Granted, some employees love sewing, but don't expect them to explain how to do your whole project, they are NOT paid to do your project, know the exact amount of fabric for your dining room chairs you didn't measure, and look at you and instantly know how much fabric you need to make a dress.
mick I work here and I can’t tell you how accurate and truthful this is! I wish everyone who shopped there would understand this!
True to some extent however if clerk can't even measure and cut fabric and thats their job. Shame on joanns for not giving them proper trainng or placing them in wrong section of store. This a actually happened to me. I felt sorry for the young girl, and took the time to instruct her.
I love this
The Jo-Ann where I live is a big store. I love it because It has a huge quilting fabric area, because I guess a lot of People here are really into quilting. The apparel fabric is really expensive. If you shop at the less expensive clothing stores out of necessity, than you probably wouldn't save any money making your own clothes, like it used to be. You would be making something to wear, simply because you love sewing.
Wow, cool store. I wish there is kind of that store in my town.
I am lucky that my local store seems to have quite a few knowledgeable employees, and they've helped me out quite a few times! I am a total newbie to sewing...this video was very helpful! I've definitely made some bad fabric decisions! :)
I asked the young woman who was cutting my fabric if she sewed, she said "nope" .....nuf said!
This would be fine if Joann ' had all the choices here. Our local one is about a quarter size with few fabric choices, and you can't fabric shop online
I am SO excited for tomorrow (Or Tuesday.... idk) cause we're going to JoAnns for the first time!!! :D
My driving license has been expired , so I have to stay home watching your video with envy emotion.
If only the Joann staff was trained in fabric types and uses. No one ever has a clue of what I am talking about.
So true. I've had same problem.
Well I just think they shud have some training in the types of fabrics. Of course, I realize that are there to earn money and not all of them are sewists. But like I said a little training in types of fabrics wud go a long way.
@@barbaramobley8845 They don,t even show us how to use the register.They just stick you out there.
@@peggyfarrell6991 bless your heart Peggy. I've worked at a dept store yrs ago that did that and it's kinda scary.
Okay, I get the look and touch part, but how do you test it?
Vini Girl by "test" she means stretch it like she does in the video
Also besides deciding if it stretch or woven to look at the bolt info such as care instructions, width, etc to see if it meets your fabric requirements.
I wish I had a Jo-Ann this huge near me! Curious, during the intro when Micah was standing beside the three dressforms, what is the pattern used for the grey jersey dress right beside her? It's perfect for some fabric I have.
I wish Joann's had this much or more garment fabric and also drape it this way in the store.
I can't even find the knit fabrics or th 60 inch width fabrics
Excellent tips!
yes i am looking for the best selection project for my dress because here in Philippines i think that they don't have stretch fabric...oh and by the way thanks for the info of your videos
I want to make a casual summer dress (peter pan collared style dress) and I bought some Prima Homespun fabric. But it isn't stretchy at all, and quite crisp. In this video, you said you intentionally chose not to pick the woven fabric because it wasn't stretchy. Did I make a bad choice? Please help, thank you!
You could use cotton but you have to make sure your pattern includes some kind of closure, like an invisible zipper for the back or a button-up front. The back of your pattern should include suggested fabric types and a section for notions, which would tell you whether or not a zipper is included.
Are you ever going to open shops in the UK? Xxx
thanks...love it!!!
Micah very nice advertising for Jo-Ann - Are you located in the Orlando Florida area? Thanks for sharing. Regards Shirley-Ann
Really impressive Video
It's really scripted. If it was more natural, it would be less annoying to watch... But good tips
Helpful, thanks
Good info :)
Wish your employees knew more about sewing. It's so disappointing to ask a technical or fabric question and not have them know or be able to offer any help. So sad, because your store in Flagstaff, Arizona is the only fabric store near my town.
Beauty For God Art Gallery I want to make a cruell de vil coat but not just for costume. I want it to be a legit winter coat. I found this fabric called velboa but it doesn't feel durable enough to wear during winter maybe fall but, does anyone know what fabric i can use that has a dalmation pattern that is good enough to use during the winter months??
Hi Aria Lynn. I haven't seen any recently. Is it possible to use the less heavy fabric and wear warm winter clothing UNDER it? Kathi
hhmmm what about velvet which velvet would I use to make a nice coat?? I know theres light velvet and then theres heavy velvet, I want the heavy velvet like I said I working on my winter collection so it has to be able to stand cold weather...Thanks soo much for you help, youre awesome
Great info. Delivery is rather stilted though.
Everett. Love
Love it
cool cool cool cool!
I get no help in knowing how much to buy.. I don't use patterns almost ever! designing my own is more fun for me ^_^
Too bad fabric choice is very limited in our small-town store...
i like print fabric and the paw print 2
Look. Touch. Test
LOL! I dont think that Is Jo-ann. I would expect her to be an older lady too.XD
DO ME A FAVOR MAKE YOUR YAYA HAN FABRIC CHEAPER ! IM NOT SPENDING $14 A YARD
That's really cheap asshat
thank u
There prices make me want to just buy my clothes instead of sewing . online fabric here i come
This vid is kinda repetitive
But it's ok
Also, what fabrics are best to use to make a skirt?
(Circle and maxi skirts)
That would depend on how you want it to drape and perform. You could use anything from a light to heavyweight, knit or woven. I would suggest looking for a pattern with a photo you like then look on the back for suggested fabric types. If you're a beginner sewer it's always best to start with something that doesn't stretch, slip or shift, so a cotton or cotton/poly blend would be the easiest.
Can you give me address of the shop?
My body isn't just one size and I don't know how to tailor anything. :(
Hi Kathy!!! If you'd like to learn contact the Education Coordinator at your local store to see if there is a class that would suit your needs or check out Creativebug.com! Thanks! - Kaitlyn

If you have a Show-room , then I can get products you need and supply you at better price.

Jo Ann has the worst and most expensive apparel fabric.
I was recently shopping for a light weight denim or a chambray. Joann had some really attractive options but at $24/yd--NO WAY! Went to Hobby Lobby and found a beautiful chambray with white flowers, just what I had in mind. $8.99/yd plus 30% off!
I WOULD RATHER SHOP AT HOBBY LOBBY
Why do you have a freak in your facebook ad?
"Important " is pronounced with a T: "important," not "impor ant." It may not seem important, but it is.
cricut lessons
haha my best friend works here. and he's a guy!
This an orientation video 😂
Thumbs down: no closed captioning for the hearing impaired.
I have it just fine didja turn it on 🙄🤣
Joann fabric is Gino customers, last year they took an inch off the width of the pattern on all of their fabrics… Their pay is shit and they abuse their employees… Never shop here
the fabric there is cheap and unworthy of the price,,,garbage
Who else is watching this in 2020, is wondering how tf she isn't wearing a mask and is touching everything and is not dying.
No of course not "wondering " it's obviously an older dated video 🙄
