    Those Big Lots $7.50 jelly rolls are looking might good right now!
    Be careful with them. I looked at them, they are not really quality fabric. I didn't buy any.

    The sad thing is all customers should be treated nice, not just those who spend lots of money there, I have similar problems with one of the Hancocks near me. Never looked at there jelly rolls, you mean they only have 10 strips in them?

    The stupidity, rudeness and plain lack of common (not to mention good business) sense of PEOPLE never cease to amaze me. I would be mad as all that too!

    I've used them more than once. They wash up fine and soften when the sizing is out of them. They're not Moda quality, but work for me when I'm practicing with a quilt design that I want to rehearse before committing expensive fabric to the project.

    I have a bunch of them that my DD got for me...don't know what I'm going to do with them because they are cut all wonky. I might just put them in with my scraps and use them up.

    That is a long time for something damaged to sit on the shelf. At our store damaged goods that are still sellable go to *sold as is* status at 75% off and put in a bin for 30 days if after 30 days they have not moved they go in the garbage.sometimes sad also but at least you get 3 days to get a real good deal...The big down fall ... employees are not allowed to purchase *sold as is* items

    now, wouldn't that make sense? Too bad Hancock is being managed so poorly that they don't get it.

    I guess I've been lucky, because mine have been fine.

    OH, at Joann's we get first pick of the "as-is" items. I stalk them like a vulture just waiting lol. And we still get our employee discount on top of the %off.

    Karen, did you tell him you work hard at spending your hard earned $$s there? LOL
