So, a little while ago Joanns was having a really good sale on flannel fabric, and I've been wanting to make myself a flannel dress. I went to the store, but they didn't have a color I wanted, but the sale was also for fabric online, so I just found the color I wanted there and ordered 4 yards of fabric.

I've had variable luck in the past ordering from Joanns online - about 50% of the time, I get an email a few days later telling me that they can't fill my order, are cancelling it, and issuing me a refund. That didn't happen this time, and I got the fabric a few days ago. I left it folded in the package until laundry day (today) so that nothing would happen to it before I could wash it.

This morning, I finally took it out of the package. And discovered that they had, indeed, sent me 4 yards of fabric, but it is in two separate 2-yard pieces. I genuinely do not understand why they would do this - they are a fabric store. Surely they know that this is not what their customers want, right?

I'm going to see if I can still make this work with my pattern but I am making a mental note that it is just not worth ordering from Joanns online.

Ohhhhhhhhh, that is frustrating.

If they're going to do that, they should check with you that it's OK, and give you a partial refund.

Oh that sucks. Ugh.

I really miss Fabric.com. They were amazing and never did crap like that.

Hey, just wanted to say that I hope you're doing okay--haven't heard from you in awhile!

Thank you! I'm doing just fine - things are boring so I haven't been posting a lot, and then one has inertia (because the gap is so long that it feels like whatever you post should be Important, and then the gap gets longer because nothing feels Important enough. Which is silly, but a real phenomenon nonetheless.) But I appreciate your concern. 8)

Oh, I totally get that--I suffer from the same thing myself. Just glad you're doing ok!
