Jo Ann Fabrics and Crafts

I visited this store on Sunday and was very very upset with my experience! I called before driving to the store to verify the material I needed was in stock and the sale price, the girl on the phone went made sure the fabric was there and verified how much the fabric was. When i arrived i went and grabbed my fabric and had it cut as the ticket was attched i noticed a 20 dollar difference the fabric cutting specialist «amber» told me they could get a Manager to corrct it, the manager CHAD was not willing to help and told me the person on the phone was wrong and he would not honor the price i ended up having to switch fabrics entirely and he had another employee guve me a coupon but told me i couldnt use it on this purchase i would have to come back, he was not friendly at all! After the debacle amber then very publicly announced to me they were a girl and not a he embarassing me in front of the large crowd at the fabric counter. I left very upset! I’ve written several emails to corporate and have yet to receive a reply back apparently the quality of customer service does not matter to this location!

Between the two JoAnns in Pinellas county, this one is the winner. It seems like they always have nicer apparel fabric options every time I’ve stopped at this location. The staff is always courteous, and the store is fairly tidy. I can’t comment on all the made in China knick knacks, but really, there’s no reason for premade crap in a craft store. The rest of their textile stuff seems on par with the average JoAnn location too. Overall, for a chain, it’s not bad.
It’s a pain in the ass to get to it from where I live, but if I’m within 10 – 15 minutes I generally will swing by to see what I might have to impulsively buy.

I found Jo Ann to be a source for so many needs! Its also nice that this store is just down the street about 2.5 miles from my house! Home accessories, holiday decorations, anything to satisfy your craft addictions from scrapbooking to jewelry creation, creating a personal costume for a party or holiday event, great framing, fabrics, and so much more.
As a past interior designer (Shhhh, ASID cert!), I will go there, look through the informative/​educational magazines available, and refresh my thoughts on decorating ideas.
Everyone is friendly and most helpful! It’s worth it to visit, keep your mind open, and see what grabs you! I highly advise you get on their email list as coupons, discounts, and class notifications will pour in!

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to enter a Jo-​Anns store for the first time, as I needed a swatch of material for a class project. The customer service was excellent, but perhaps extra help is understandably needed, during major holidays. After receiving my order, I walked to the customer Check-​Out Area to finish my shopping. Cashier, Mary Ann completed my purchase. However, Mary Ann asked whether I knew about the store’s discount policy of 15% off the pricing of certain items.
Furthermore, she advised me of other various features and benefits found on the selling floor. Before leaving JO-​ANNS, I sensed that the Curlew Ave, Dunedin Store would be a great outlet for my future business.
Furthermore, there was Nancy who met me and took care of my latest selling need, which required that I secure fabric for a local church play. She fulfilled the process completely, displaying for my view, several beautiful spines of gorgeous fabrics. Nevertheless, Nancy advised me of store discounts totaling 20%. With my pleasing shopping experience, I left JO-​ANNS, going onward to tell family and friends about the new found arts, crafts and materials outlet. Let’s see… house decorative curtains might be a good change for the future bungalow window embellishing.

Sigh… as I embark on my new hobby of dressmaking, I stumble through the world of fabrics and lining and interfacing.
Which brings me to Jo-Ann’s, as I don’t really know where else to go, and they appear to have everything.
What I didn’t expect was at 8p at night, an hour before closing, everyone and their mom would be stocking up at the cutting counter. The scanners weren’t working, the employees seemed burned out and angry at each other, and there simply wasn’t enough help.
Maybe everyone else has my predicament of working late hours and not living closer to any other Jo-Ann’s locations– so we all end up here, at the same time, buying everything we can because who knows the next time we’ll venture back to this place.
What can I say– I could continue shopping on their website but sometimes, buying in person is best. Basically, I do so myself coming back here, because my options appear to be limited for the time being.

I have been going here, wow I can’t believe I am saying this, for over 10 years. I tend to stick to Michaels for craft, copic marker, drawing pad and canvas items as their variety and pricing are better, but the deals that Joanns has on fabric, especially when you have a coupon, can’t be beat. In the fabric department, their offerings are top notch and the cutting table staff is always super friendly, even when they are swamped.

This store carries a lot of items, not just fabrics. It is my go-​to place for crafts.
I visited this store with my family and we found everything we were shopping for. The woman working at the counter even gave us a deal that was advertised in store but expired the day before.

A crafting heaven, This is where I go when I need to pick up something that is specifically for a project. They’re one of the few places that still has fabric, and a fine selection too!
Late in the evenings, there aren’t many folks on staff, so you may end up waiting for a while when it comes to measuring and obtaining fabrics.
There are also different departments — Yarn, Floral, kids crafts, beading among others. It really is a place to go if you want to find a craft place that does it all.

I have slight addiction to sewing and fabrics! Jo-​Ann Fabrics is a chain and they to do have a lot of stuff for not just sewing but all types of crafting. This is also my go to store for Wilton candy supplies. Some of the fabrics are of lower quality but there is some nice material here and the staff is usually helpful. There are several different classes offered every month that are fun.

The selection at this location is really good, but «some» of the staff need to cheer up and be nice. They just might find life a little more enjoyable if they did.

Since I like to be crafty & sew a lot of my own clothes
I frequent this store much more than my credit card would propose
But I’m a JoAnn’s addict, I can’t help myself
Sometimes I wander around looking at the stuff on the shelf
and like usual, I’ll find something I NEED!
I’ll eventually figure out why, it’s guaranteed
There is always a LONG line in the fabric section
I must not be the only one with a sewing affection
They have a new iPhone app complete with their weekly ad
you can download the coupons and scan, it’s so rad!
But if you are not crafty at all, then just skip this store and head to the mall!

THey have a large selection of fabrics that are really cool. If you are into making your own clothes, blankets etc., it’s really great. My wife and I make double layered polar fleece blankets for people for Christmas and birthdays. The staff there is mainly made up of older women that really know their stuff and are just sweethearts. i’d recommend this place for fabric.

This revamped craft store is fantastic! It has grown from a mere fabric store to house all your arts and crafts needs. The selection of silk florals is great. If you are into decorating for the holidays — look no further! They also have a great framing section w/​custom or premade frames. Also, let’s not forget the selection of fabrics, patterns, and tools that thye have. There are always classes goign on and the staff is super-​helpful!
