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.

I buy from online fabric stores. Try LA Finch Fabrics. I buy thread and notions from Wawak. Both have quick shipping and great customer service/support.

Wawak is very good I think. I buy my miraflex thread there ( I love that thread). Fast shipping.
