Symphony lack of availability is frustrating
I love the Symphony broadcloth. We use it for our humanitarian quilts at church. With sales and coupons it's affordable. My only frustration is that lately it's been very difficult to to get the colors I need and the quantities I would like. I'm hoping things improve.

hit or miss
On three occasions Symphony broadcloth had stains throughout, making it unusable. Had trouble returning it. Not great fabric but will make a decent dress shirt if that's all that's available. Not sure if I'll be returning to Joann's any time soon if I can help it.

WEB SITE YARDAGE COUNTER IS WRONG!
First of all - this is a beautiful new store and we love it. My daughter wanted a specific color of broad cloth - celadon green. We wanted 8 yards. The fabric we purchased was a great price and looks gorgeous. But ... Joann has issues with keeping track of stock on hand. Read on ...
Joann website shows 11 yards in stock of the Symphony Broadcloth Polyester Blend Fabric Solids - FOG GREEN color. This is totally WRONG. I bought the bolt TODAY (03/26/24) - which only had 5 and 3/4 yards left. The website showed 17 yards available this morning which was also WRONG. I took a photo of the bolt at least one month ago, and the yardage was the same as today. The Laguna Niguel store NEVER had 17 yards available ... I looked at every bolt of fabric and there was no other bolt of FOG GREEN color period. Kudos to the ladies working today - especially Lorri - they were SO helpful. PLEASE FIX THE YARDAGE COUNTER!

I made a Medieval Kirtle for a grandchild. JoAnn has this fabric in lots of colors, and I would consider using it for lining. I washed and ironed it before I sewed it up, and it did shrink a little bit.
It sews nicely, and the 90 degree angles on the back turned nicely. I sewed a V on the front of the Kirtle, and it frayed when I turned it. I had to invent a breast yoke to hide the fraying. I used a gold cross brocade from JoAnn’s. I serged all the seams, which gave it a nice finish.
This fabric is not easy to iron, so I very lightly ironed the seams.
My grand daughter said it was comfortable to wear.

Black Cotton
This fabric was terrible. It had flaws in the weave. Almost directly in the center of the cut when you hold the fabric up to the light you can see that one side was woven thicker and other lighter. I purchased online... IF I had gotten this in the store I think I would have recognized the problem right away.

Eggshell vs pale yellow
I ordered eggshell and got pale yellow. The fabric is a good quality but, the color wasn't what I ordered. Since you pick up the order they don't put a receipt within the bag for you to see what they actually filled the order with. Very disappointing to drive over an hour home only to find out what I ordered wasn't enclosed and wasn't disclosed on-line when i reviewed the order.

Nice Fabric Sloooow Shipping
They encourage you to order online because half their stock is not available in the stores. But be prepared for delayed order info to show on their website plus extremely sloow shipping. You will wait longer than a week to get your items. This is true with everything I have ordered from JoAnns.

Ordered 20yds of fabric and received 1 yard!!
I ordered 20 yards of fabric and received 1yard!!! I called customer service immediately and I was told that I had to return that
1 yard and then I would be issued a refund. They won't correct their mistake and send me what I ordered!! I'm just furious and will tell everyone I know about the horrible customer service. We all know how long a refund takes to show up on a credit card. So frustrated....

Beautiful bright yellow
I thought the bright yellow color was very cheery. The fabric is on the thinner side but that’s usually how broadcloth is. This fabric will fray when cut so it’s recommended to serge or overlock the edges.

The BEST Broadcloth/Cotton cloth I have ever purchased
I make bandanas for the dogs that come to the shop where I work as a dog groomer. I recently ordered from Joann's some Halloween and Christmas fabric. Absolutely love the quality of the broadcloth/cotton I ordered. Prices were great and delivery was timely! I also purchased some cloth to make a dress for my new rescue puppy, Gabby! She looks so cute until I will order more just for her! Thank you Joann!

my go to choice for lightweight broadcloth
I really love this fabric. It's always reliable, comes in a large variety of colors, and is not transparent the way many other broadcloth blends are.

Sunlit Alliumy is such a great color!
I bought the Sunlit Alliumy (light purple) color to pair with a fat quarter of hello kitty fabrics. I ended up getting 3 yards over the course of a month: I ended up making three dresses for my toddler and a dress for myself. I've attached one of the toddler dresses I made. The violet matte tulle (1865450) was a perfect match to the sunlit alliumy broadcloth fabric. When I used this as a lining for my bodice with a front layer of cotton, it actually helped the cotton stay flat instead of getting wrinkly in the dryer.

Great for linings
I love this fabric for lining my daughter's dresses and making her pettiskirts. It has a cool hand, fluid drape, and is wrinkle resistant. I find it very easy to press and sew and it's priced very affordably. I've only used the white color so I can't say much about bleeding or fading.

Not good for quilting
This fabric is not good for quilting. Although part cotton, it wrinkles and is very thin. Appears to be low thread count. Had to remove it from the quilt block. It may work well for apparel, but not for quilting, in my opinion.

Loved the color
I bought eggshell because I didn't want white, but needed an almost "non" color. This does not look like the picture but I believe it is beautiful. Very soft yellowish color. I wouldn't call it yellow though. I'm buying more today for another quilt I'm doing. The color goes with a lot of different fabrics

Beautiful colour, but BEWARE!
Absolutely beautiful colour to this fabric, but BEWARE BLEEDING! It was the only thing that bled dye all over my other fabrics, turning them varying shades of pink that would not come out. Would absolutely buy again, but I will only be washing this one alone from now on.

Great for costume wear
We needed to find a dark brown fabric, and the dark chocolate brown broadcloth worked great! It is a bit pricier per yard, but I used a coupon to get it cheaper. Great fabric to work with.

Bled onto other items in washer
I have bought this brand of material from Joann stores, this time I ordered two yards of the red material online because I live 45 miles to the closest store. The instructions said to wash in "warm water" I washed it in cold and ruined my other material. I have soaked it several times in warm and cold water and it is still bleeding. Not sure if I can use it for my Christmas project.

Easy fabric to work with
I bought this fabric to sew a Snow White outfit/costume. These colors were absolutely perfect for something super basic. The broadcloth was easy to work with and turned out great. It's even comfortable to wear and the raw seams haven't frayed one bit.

Nice Lightweight Fabric
I wanted to make an Alice in Wonderland dress for my granddaughter for summer. I had read that this fabric may bleed; however, the colors and weight of the fabric were perfect for what I needed. So before washing I soaked the blue fabric in saltwater to stop the bleeding. This worked wonderfully and the fabric turned out so soft. It’s the perfect lightweight fabric for a crisp summer dress.

House robes
I decided to make my kids house robes (since we go to universal often) and went with this material. I couldn't be any happier. The material doesn't fade when washing, it's easy to work with and was softer than I expected. It also doesn't leave weird stich marks when you undo a stich (cause hemming these sleeves really isn't my thing lol)
