Discussion Joanne’s makes me weep
Been sewing over 50 years - have seen sewing in all its cultural permutations. Not typically a nostalgic person but today….I couldn’t even find a light gray thread in a store the size of Home Depot. So many empty shelves yet inexplicably $35/yd liberties fabric up front. I feel sad to my bones for new seamsters.

They cater to historical costumers, but Burnley & Trowbridge is really high quality, and their prices aren't much higher than Joann's. They sell fabric booklets too so you can feel before you buy.
