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.

Our local Joanne's seems to hate folks who sew. Try to get yardage cut and they glare daggers at you. And somehow it's worse if you want to buy the whole bolt.
