Is Joann Fabrics worth the drive?

Thanks ladies ... I did end up making one. It's huge and he loves it. It probably would have cost me over $100 if I was to buy it.

As an FYI ... my mother and I both sew and Joann's has the WORST fabric selection. They used to be great, but have become much more of a craft store in the past few years and mostly they carry quilting fabric and a few cheap (though not inexpensive) pieces of clothing fabric. Hancocks has the best overall selection and the best selection for clothing. You can sign up to receive coupons and sale notices for them too. Hobby Lobby has an outstanding drapery fabric selection. Wal-Mart used to have some good finds, but all of the local ones here have stopped carrying fabric. Unless the Joann's in Buffalo is a very large store (there's one in Dallas that is significantly better than all of the Oklahoma stores put together), I wouldn't waste the gas ...

Depends on what you're looking for. Joanne's is ok.
