That is good to know, I worked at a JoAnn fabrics years ago and there was something that we had to do which I thought was not necessary. While we were cutting fabric, we would ask the customer, " oh, what are you making" most of the time they would tell you. So if they were making clothes with the fabric, you would put a code next to the item. And you wouldn't be taxed. If it was for making a craft item, they would put that on there. If someone wasn't sure what they were making, I would put the no tax number code. Everyone else put the tax code in. This was in Minnesota back in the 1990's. Not sure if they still do this today. The thing was, I honestly was interested in what someone was going to make with their fabric. I always reminded the customer to make sure if they needed thread to match. The JoAnn fabrics that was in my town, shut it's doors for good on April 20th this year. The last few days pretty much everything was 90% off. I got a few really good deals. On the receipt it showed original price and then what you saved. It was something like $249 and total amount with discounts came to $24 . Hopefully someone will find this useful.
@@Janis342 Maybe this is something they did at that particular store for some reason? But that's not why they ask. (You normally have to be set up as "tax exempt" to have sales tax waived.) Technically they're required to ask every person what they're making, but TBH, no one is going to do that every time, so if they ask, they're probably either being nice or are actually curious about it 🤣
@@CraftHarlot Wow, I didn't know some states don't tax clothing - I hope they don't put the responsibility on fabric store employees to decide if someone is going to be charged sales tax on their fabric.... 🤔
I had no idea! I’ve seen the price labels on the remnants and thought, “What?! That is supposed to be a bargain?! As if!” and just walked right on by. 😂 Now i know! Thank you! 👏🏼😀
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! So glad this video could bring some useful info to you!Hope you find lots of great remnants 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
It has always been that way. Maximum cost is 50% of marked price. BUT if item happens to be on sale, the 50% will be against the sale price. Most fabrics can only because 2 yard or less. Some higher end fabrics or fleece can be 1 1/2 yards. And the sale price will always come up when the sku is scanned at register. I have worked at Joanns for over 30 years and shopped there before that. Always been that way. And the 75% off sales are dictated by corporate not-by the store.
As for the pieces that are over the 1 yard those are technically a big no no as the guidelines are 1 yard or less. The sign reads "Off the CURRENT selling price" so if the fabric is currently on sale it will ring up LESS than the label reads then you get to standard 50% off or the remnant sale of 75%. I know all this from being a JoAnn manager years ago. I have tried to spread the word about this for years but I don't think people believe me. Glad you are also talking about it.
Hello, Becky! Thank you so much for watching! It’s great to hear this confirmed from a former Joann’s employee! I think it’s hard to understand from just the signs, I know I never realized all the additional sales attached to remnants before chatting with the employee. It makes shopping the remnant section even more fun! Thanks for taking the time to chat with me, Becky! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Former employee here, remnants for home decor and fleece start at under a yard and a half. Many newbies don't know this. Ask a Manager, that knows the rule, like me. 😊
@@jilbertb Unless the rules changed, only home decor drapery linings (not all home decor), fleece, muslin, and tulle and netting can be up to 1.5 yards.
Fellow Hoosier here! I was thinking that JoAnns didn't stack sales, But I was thinking of a different store that always has exclusions you don't find out about unless you bring a magnifying glass to read the small print. I am glad to know there are some good deals out there!
Yes, when they are having a great sale, like last weekend door busters for Memorial Day, it is discounted off the current price. So, I got flannel and quilting cotton fabrics for like a $1.50 per yard. It was awesome! I got one remnant that was priced at $28, for $5
Apparently it's a secret kept from some employees too. I had an employee argue with me that the marked price of a remnant was already 50% off. The remnant I was looking at was priced for more than the regular price on the bolt! I told them to keep it. 😊
At the stores I've been to, remnants are 50% off the same price if it were on the bolt. So if Keepsake Calicos are 40% off, you pay 30% of the regular price on a remnant.
@lovly2cu725 I get what you are saying and I hate when stores do that. They aren't going out of business, but they will be if they don't make some positive changes.
That’s so nice to know. I checked them out recently. I just looked at the price thinking it was expensive. Now I know. Don’t pass on those great deals.
I know that if you take the extra bolt end at the cutting table, it is discounted to what the remnants would be priced. I've seen labels with the before and after price. I appreciate that the name of the fabric is on the label so I know where in the store it came from. I once spotted a pretty red polar fleece in the fleece remnant bin. The band had come off, so I took it to the table when I had everything as I figured it would have to be measured to check out. The poor girl had to dig through the bin for the correct loose label 😆 I was worried she was going to fall in... (it's playpen sized) The bins for other fabric remnants are small. That turned into a favorite hoodie vest!
Hello, Betty! Thank you so much for watching! Aw, so glad I could pass along some fun info. This makes shopping those remnant sections even better 🥰 Hope you have a great week, Betty! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Hello, Cheryl! Thank you so much for watching! Yes! That’s exactly what I would do as well, Cheryl, before I found out this sales formula they use! Now remnant shopping is even more fun! Hope you have a great week, Cheryl! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I sew doll clothes as a hobby, and I ❤ the remnant section in crafting stores. It always feels like a treasure hunt. When sewing on a small scale like that, you can get several pieces - or even several garments - out of a remnant. The only time I pay full price for anything is when I need a specific fabric for a particular project (and even then, I usually have a coupon).
I got caught up in the remnant bin sale this past winter. I would stop at the store on Sunday as they had tons of remnants from the Saturday sales. If the remnant wasn't big enough and I needed extra for sleeves or bands I would check to see if there was a bolt of the same fabric in the regular fabric section. I could usually find it at 40% off. Got some great fabric for cheap sweatshits and gifts for the grandkids.
Hi! So glad I stumbled upon your channel and what Great information about the remnants at Joanne's -Had no idea-Look forward to watching some more of your videos!
Hello, Helen! Thank you so much for watching and for such a kind comment! Aw, Welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel! I so look forward to getting to know you better! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week, Helen 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Hello, Carol! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, it’s always been a mystery to me as well until I happened to find out from an employee this time. It can be very frustrating that their pricing isn’t more transparent! Hope you’re having a great week, Carol! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Hello, Michele! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Michele! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
The remnants don't go 75% off every weekend, they only do that at certain times. They might be doing that at this particular store but it's not a standard thing.
Yes I knew this. This is how I get trapped because I say I’m only going to remnants but end up walking around to see clearance only then on to other areas. lol 😊 thanks for sharing
Hello, Pat! Thank you so much for watching! Haha, yes, it does feel like a trap sometimes! Those clearance sections and that Last Chance fabric area are very tempting as well! I’ve had to skip going to Joann’s on a few occasions just to stay away from temptation! 🙈 Thanks so much for chatting with me, Pat! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I buy a lot of things on the remnants sales at Joann. I look for the bathing suit fabric, they usually have a piece or 2 and that way i always have extra to match my prints. And buy tons of fleece to make hats.
Hello, Brenda! Thank you so much for watching and for the great tips on kinds of fabrics to look out for! Swimsuit fabric would be an excellent find! Those take such small amounts of fabric you might be able to make a whole project just from the remnant section! Fleece would be another great one to stock up on, those fleece hats take small amounts of fabric, as well. Love these ideas, Brenda, you’re giving me lots of inspiration 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Had no idea about the sale price stacking - thank you, Tiffany! Also, didn't know that the remnants were located at other places in the store... Going to take advantage of this for my own and for charity sewing! -Sally from MO
I knew you got the sale price but wasn't sure how they continued to discount. When ever they explained it to me it didn't make sense. The way you explained it made it so easy to understand. Thank you. I feel a sudden urge to run to JoAnns. Lol
The sign on the remnants bin says, “75 or 50% off of the bolt price”, depending on the sale they are running that day. The tag reflects the full retail price. I usually pick out my remnants and go check the price on the bolt, then do the math and decide if I want to buy it.
I had no idea this is how the remnant sale worked! 🤯 Will need to pay closer attention to that section next time. I usually skip it because I figure the pieces are too small anyway, but you got some decent sized ones for dirt cheap! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Yes, I've known about the remnant sales. I used to get a lot of quilting fabrics from the remnant bin (small bits are good - they get cut into smaller pieces anyway!). Also when Kona solids were on sale,I would cull the remnant bins for various colors. Since they've been at the 75% off, I haven't really found any good fabrics, though.
Hello, Jan! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing about your great experiences with the Remnant section! Those are great ideas for uses of smaller cuts of fabric, love it! Hope you have a great week, Jan! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I have bought remnants and expected the price to be half of the sticker price however I did not know the fabric would be discounted by the same amount as the same type fabric still on the bolt! Even more savings! Thanks for this tip!
Hello, Marci! Thanks so much for watching! Yes, even more savings is great with me 🥰 Hope you’re having a wonderful week, Marci! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Yes, I love this and hope it doesn't change now that they are reorganizing from bankruptcy! I use it to get nice quilt fabrics and quilt batting to make small projects like hotpads, interfacing (often 50% off already), lining fabric, batiks., fleece and felt for crafts. I got a yard of linen for $2 to supplement some I bought on sale - if there are multiple bolts, you could use a remnant piece to cut sleeves or a bodice and then purchase the rest you need to make an item from the remaining bolts on the shelf, making sure the dye lots match. It's one of my favorite places in the store, and I'm using a remnant piece of fabric right now, in fact, while I watch sewing videos!
Hello, Diane! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Diane! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I love the remnants because, I use the fabrics to try something new and if I mess up or it doesn't work out as I have imagined, it doesn't hurt my pocketbook so bad.
Hi former Hoosier here in Corpus Christi, Texas. Still Hoosier at heart and I go to the remnant section as soon as I get through the door. Just ran across your video. Jo Ann's has best deals. I'm one to take the rest of the bolt. If there's any left like yard or less I just get it too to be safe. From allen County area. Good luck with your channel
So tempting!!! So dangerous!!! A great buy is the fleece in remnants. Great for baby blankets and remnants always end up being less than $2 for the fleece. Thanks for another great video!!
Hello, Rosemary! Thank you so much for watching! Oh yes! I always see fleece in the remnant section, I need to get a few pieces, they would be really handy to have on hand! Thanks so much for chatting with me, Rosemary! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Joann's does NOT have a 75% off remnant sale every weekend. If you watch their sales flyer or emails, it will tell you when. About once per financial quarter (3 mos). Remnant price on the tag is very misleading. It is the regular price for that measured piece. The remnant price would be 50% of the label price. Then if the fabric is on sale, you get 50% off the sale price. The same discount applies when they ask if you want the remnant when you get fabric cut. Example, a remnant of 35" of Calico on sale at $4.99 is $2.42. A 35" rem of batik is $4.37. Home decor and fleece remnants start at pieces less than a yard and a half. Most peons working there don't know this, ask a manager, who will reluctantly agree. You can find remnants still on the bolts sometime too. Employees are lazy so rather than create a rem, they put it back on the shelf. One yard will go around the bolt 2x. If you find a piece on a bolt a smidge large than a yard, ask to buy an eighth or a quarter yard and the rest as a remnant. (35" or less) - From a retired Joann employee, with a house full of remnants...
Hello! Thanks so much for watching! I think you misunderstood me, I didn’t say Joann’s had 75% off every weekend, I said to look for those sales when they come around as they are the best deals. Thanks for all the info from a former employee! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
If you're going to call people "peons" because they "don't know" something, you should probably make sure what you're saying is correct first. (Because you're misinformed about the size of remnants. Some fabric types can be over a yard, but it doesn't work the way you described. ❤️) And it's entirely possible for a store to have 75% off remnants every weekend if they have permission.
@@l2thnight They're not supposed to cut it. But they might - one time I took up a yard and 1/4 and said I wanted 1/4, which was supposed to be an obvious joke since the rest would be a remnant (and the person was a friend of mine who knew I had a fabric addiction problem 👀), but they actually immediately started cutting the quarter off without even offering the end of bolt discount on the rest... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Also, don't assume people are "peons" or "lazy" if they don't do it the right way - there's a very good chance they just don't know how they're supposed to do it and no one has told them. You can always politely ask them if they give an end of bolt discount if you take the entire piece and see what they say.
I used to ask and no and pick a bolt that was near the very end get the amount that I wanted at a regular price and then the piece that was a yard or under was a remnant piece and get it for next to nothing I've been doing that 40 yrs. I used to sit and figure it out and calculate it. This came in handy when I was doing quilting.
I was always confused on the price of the remnants. I love to buy them cause you can make so many cute creations with them! Thanks for the info this will get me over in the remnant section more often. 👍🏽
Even better than that is if you buy fabric from a bolt that may be only has 3 yards left and it’s on sale, go ahead and buy the 3 yards and then the rest of it will be approximately a yard or less than you can get it at the remnant price which is super cheap so you’ll get up to an extra yard for almost nothing. I actually will look at the end of a bolt and estimate how many yards are left and then when I go up, I can usually ask them for a certain amount and be guaranteed for about a yard at the remnant price a lot of my quilt backing material this way.
Hello, Shelly! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this about the yardage! Very smart way to get that extra yard for a fraction of the actual cost! I’ve done this a few times but mostly by accident. I need to remember this for the future! Hope you have a great week, Shelly! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
When looking at a bolt, each two folds is one yard. It has 6 folds = 3 yds. Asked them to measure what there. Ask for 35" less, then ask for the 35" as a remnant.
@@jilbertb I understand people want to get as good of a deal as they can, but please don't do this on every bolt of fabric you bring up. Also, please don't badger them if they tell you they can't discount certain fabrics - you can always ask them to double-check with a manager, but there are some fabrics that can't be made into remnants.
When flannel was on sale for $2.99 a yard, the remnants were also 75% off… I stocked up. I also stocked UP on fleece at the same time. I’m planning on making some fleece hats/scarves to donate next winter. Our schools collect them to give out to kids. I also wanna make some rag quilts to donate. I think when I did the math I got 17 yards of fabric total for like $15 😂. Aaaaaaand this is where I pull my fabric for donation projects. I’ve been keeping an eye out for knits and other fancy fabrics. I wanna use those to practice techniques. 😂 Most of the remnants at my local store are definitely fleece. Or maybe folks are buying the knits when I’m not around 😂😂😂
Here's a trick, buy an oversized Tshirt on sale $2.99. Cut it apart and use the "fabric" for your top. You can also make a dress from a Tshirt. Cut it off at waist level. Add a square or circular piece of fabric with a hole cut in the center. (Look up "circle skirt calculator" for hole cutting measurement.) Great for little kids - a dress for under $5!!!!
Usually people who are buying fleece don't sew and are making those fringed blankets so they don't want the leftover pieces (that's why there's always so much fleece), whereas people buying knit fabric are experienced sewers you know what a good deal it is (a lot of people are - understandably - terrified of knits 👀) so they usually take the remainder... LOL
I found out about that great sale practice several years ago. I was taking my mom to the doctor quite regularly for awhile. One day we decided to lift our spirits and check out Joann's as Mom wanted a new project to work on. I could hardly believe the goodies I found in their remnant area! I was making bags and totes at the time and scored a lot of home decor fabric remnants. The fabric has some heft to it, so it was perfect for the bags I was making. It's been a favorite place to shop for a long time and comes filled with "mom" memories.
The last time I was in Joanns I bought 90$ of double brushed Poly. The cashier then said he would ‘Stack’ the coupons I had on my app. So he scanned the $15 off 75$ then he scanned the $10 off $50 then $5 off $35 . Price I paid was a little over $ 50. Not sure if they’re supposed to do this but it sure was a good deal.
Also, don't worry about whether they're supposed to do it or not - it's not their problem if the people that programmed the coupons made them work like that 😂
I agree. I have that green floral print gauzy fabric, it's one of my favorites. (They also sometimes have the same print in different colors and fabric types - I think I've seen a pink fleece, a blue knit, and a quilting cotton)
I'm lucky; the JoAnn near me is always at 75% off and they have lots of remnants. When calico is at $3.99, it's only $1.00 a yards! (Fleece is another fabric that will go one sale frequently making it very cheap.) I make girl's dresses for charity and the yard remnants are perfect. I typically get a yard for no more that $2.50/yd. The dresses only take a yard plus pockets. It makes them very inexpensive to make.
Years ago it was much simpler. All remnants were less then a yard and a percentage was taken off the original price. Usually it was marked down by 1/3 and that new amount was marked on the band.

I had no idea. I thought the remnant price was the price as marked. I have passed many of these up thinking too expensive. Transparency in pricing would probably help Joann do much better in their sales. I’ve nearly quit going to Joann but maybe once a year when I desperately need thread. Even their patterns have gone up in price. It is no longer on my radar to frequent Joann. I would think of buying clothing and cut it up at a thrift store, shop my closet and fabric stash Thanks for the update.
Hello, Judith! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, the pricing and sale breakdown there at Joann’s could definitely be more transparent! It can get very frustrating! Maybe they’ll become better at things like this as they come out of bankruptcy. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me, Judith! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
You might already know this, but most of the patterns go on sale at least once a month - McCall's, Butterick, and Simplicity for $1.99 at least once a month (and I read that the KnowMe patterns go on sale when the McCall's ones do), and $5.99 for Vogue. (Or at least that's how it usually works - in the last sales they were $2.99 instead of $1.99.)
I have always passed on the remnants because they were always too expensive. It never looked like they discounted them. Guess I should take a second look.
Hello, Patty! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Patty! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Yeah I’ll check them to see if what I’m buying is in there I’ll buy w/e amount they have in it and then if I need more I’ll buy it at the regular price
I didn't know this little secret. I will have to go to JoAnn's on the weekends now. I try to hit major stores during the week to avoid the crowds. I have never bought any remnants though because the price was way out of my budget, which seemed strange to me. Thank you for this really good tip!! I will be heading to JoAnn's on Saturday! Have a wonderful week and God Bless.
Hello, Shanna! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great experience hunting for those bargain remnants! I would definitely give your store a call before you go and see if the 75% remnant sale is going on before you make the trip. They don’t always have that sale going, it’s sporadic throughout the month, at least for my store anyway. Thanks for chatting with me, Shanna! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
@@hoosierhandmade22 Thank you, Tiffany. That is a good point. I will definitely call to see if the 75% sale is on. I do get their daily/weekly emails, do they put the sale in there? Have a wonderful evening Tiffany.
The remnants at my Joann store were all fleece fabrics. I looked around and couldn't find any other remnants. Maybe I just was there at the wrong time. When I have fabric cut and there is less than a yard left, they offer me the end piece at 75% discount so I always take it. Your remnants are gorgeous!
Hello, Dillis! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, sometimes the remnant section doesn’t have much selection. I do love how they offer those end of bolts at the remnant price as well. It always tempts me to just buy it all, lol! Hope your health is improving, Dillis, I’ve been thinking of you often and saying prayers for you! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I think they changed the software on the scanners (they screwed it up) and now they can't give you 75% off unless they mark it as damaged. So they might only be able to make it 50% off now
Hello, Maritza! Thank you so much for watching! Welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel and I can’t wait to get to know you better 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
And if after they have cut your yardage order from the bolt, if only a remnant is left they will offer it to you at remnant price! And sometimes there is interfacing or fusible as a remnant too
If they don't offer you can ask. Sometimes I pick fabrics to be cut that I am pretty sure will have less than a yard after what I want and I ask for the reminant price on the balance of the bolt if it is something I can use.
If I could ever find any quilting fabric there that isn't junky and shopworn... If only they actually stocked up on notions instead of having half-empty displays...If only the aisles weren't a jumble of unshelved unpacked produts because see they expect everyone to do the work of 3 or 4 people...If only the parking lot weren't trashy and oily...if only I liked cheesy throwaway holiday decor. My only success there was a half-price entire bolt of pellon 101.
💯💯💯 If only they actually valued the business and their customers, employees, vendors, and cities enough to make their stores viable. You get the impression the only thing they actually value are their retention bonuses.
That is good to know, I worked at a JoAnn fabrics years ago and there was something that we had to do which I thought was not necessary.

Now I know why they ask. I thought they were just being nice. Disappointing.

The prices change so often that it would be impossible to keep up with the new sales and reprint labels.
It has always been that way. Maximum cost is 50% of marked price. BUT if item happens to be on sale, the 50% will be against the sale price. Most fabrics can only because 2 yard or less. Some higher end fabrics or fleece can be 1 1/2 yards. And the sale price will always come up when the sku is scanned at register. I have worked at Joanns for over 30 years and shopped there before that. Always been that way. And the 75% off sales are dictated by corporate not-by the store.
As for the pieces that are over the 1 yard those are technically a big no no as the guidelines are 1 yard or less. The sign reads "Off the CURRENT selling price" so if the fabric is currently on sale it will ring up LESS than the label reads then you get to standard 50% off or the remnant sale of 75%. I know all this from being a JoAnn manager years ago.
I have tried to spread the word about this for years but I don't think people believe me.
Glad you are also talking about it.

This is good to know, I always wondered why their remnants were so pricey. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for bargains now!
The prices change so often that it would be impossible to keep up with the new sales and reprint labels.
Never knew! Thanks for sharing with your stitching sisters.😊
Yes, when they are having a great sale, like last weekend door busters for Memorial Day, it is discounted off the current price. So, I got flannel and quilting cotton fabrics for like a $1.50 per yard. It was awesome! I got one remnant that was priced at $28, for $5
Wow, just wow. I have passed on getting remnants bc I had no idea! Thank you!!!
Apparently it's a secret kept from some employees too. I had an employee argue with me that the marked price of a remnant was already 50% off. The remnant I was looking at was priced for more than the regular price on the bolt! I told them to keep it. 😊
Same with me. I asked why was there a 50% off sign for remnants when they charge people the same as it is on bolt. She didn't have an answer for me
They are going out of business so they have to rip you off same as when home base went out of business.
@@lovly2cu725 Most of them are not going out of business, at least not yet. They will be if they don't make some improvements!
At the stores I've been to, remnants are 50% off the same price if it were on the bolt. So if Keepsake Calicos are 40% off, you pay 30% of the regular price on a remnant.
@lovly2cu725 I get what you are saying and I hate when stores do that. They aren't going out of business, but they will be if they don't make some positive changes.
I always check the remnants section when Interfacing is on sale. It's great for trying out different types.
That’s so nice to know. I checked them out recently. I just looked at the price thinking it was expensive. Now I know. Don’t pass on those great deals.
I know that if you take the extra bolt end at the cutting table, it is discounted to what the remnants would be priced. I've seen labels with the before and after price. I appreciate that the name of the fabric is on the label so I know where in the store it came from.
I once spotted a pretty red polar fleece in the fleece remnant bin. The band had come off, so I took it to the table when I had everything as I figured it would have to be measured to check out. The poor girl had to dig through the bin for the correct loose label 😆 I was worried she was going to fall in... (it's playpen sized) The bins for other fabric remnants are small. That turned into a favorite hoodie vest!
That’s why there’s supposed to be a piece of masking tape with the e info on it taped to the selvage
I have bought remnants several times from Joanne but I didn't know about the pricing. Thank you for sharing.
Did not know that at all. Thanks for sharing! You are the best!
Hello, Betty! Thank you so much for watching! Aw, so glad I could pass along some fun info. This makes shopping those remnant sections even better 🥰 Hope you have a great week, Betty! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Tiffany, I didn't know this, and it is so helpful. Thank you!! You got some beautiful fabrics at a great deal!! 😊
Hello, Marcia! Thank you so much for watching and for such a kind comment! I hope you’re having a great week, Marcia! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
i know .... so great i go and buy them all near a large city near me many one yard cuts but my smaller jo anns is amost always under a yard
Wow, that is quite a revelation. I had no idea. I have left behind lovely remanants thinking they were a bit pricey. Wohooo, thank you, Tiffany! 🙂
That’s y I always pick up the fabric that’s already on sale 😊😊
Wow! I will now look at the remnants every time I shop there. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video! I do shop the remnants section but did not know how the extra savings are calculated. So good! 💖
I am a bag maker/crafter. Joanns has awesome decor fabric, vinyl, canvases in remnants section. Use them for pouches and wallets
I never knew this! Wow! I’d look at sticker and back off. Now I know😊
Hello, Cheryl! Thank you so much for watching! Yes! That’s exactly what I would do as well, Cheryl, before I found out this sales formula they use! Now remnant shopping is even more fun! Hope you have a great week, Cheryl! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Me too!
I sew doll clothes as a hobby, and I ❤ the remnant section in crafting stores. It always feels like a treasure hunt. When sewing on a small scale like that, you can get several pieces - or even several garments - out of a remnant. The only time I pay full price for anything is when I need a specific fabric for a particular project (and even then, I usually have a coupon).
Thank you very much for the information. Great delivery
I got caught up in the remnant bin sale this past winter. I would stop at the store on Sunday as they had tons of remnants from the Saturday sales. If the remnant wasn't big enough and I needed extra for sleeves or bands I would check to see if there was a bolt of the same fabric in the regular fabric section. I could usually find it at 40% off. Got some great fabric for cheap sweatshits and gifts for the grandkids.
Hi! So glad I stumbled upon your channel and what Great information about the remnants at Joanne's -Had no idea-Look forward to watching some more of your videos!
Hello, Helen! Thank you so much for watching and for such a kind comment! Aw, Welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel! I so look forward to getting to know you better! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week, Helen 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Thank you, Tiffany, for sharing this information. I never knew how remnants were priced.
Hello, Carol! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, it’s always been a mystery to me as well until I happened to find out from an employee this time. It can be very frustrating that their pricing isn’t more transparent! Hope you’re having a great week, Carol! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Wow we! I didn’t know that! When I look at the remnant prices they always seem so high so I don’t buy any! Thank you so much for that information!😊
Hello, Michele! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Michele! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Prices change so often that it’s impossible to keep reprinting labels with current prices
I just learned about it a few months ago. Another secret is the end of bolt price! If it's less than I believe a yard, then they discount it more.
Wow who knew....so always ask and do your research and buy on a weekend....thx for sharing this gem of knowledge wow u got such cute fabric
The remnants don't go 75% off every weekend, they only do that at certain times. They might be doing that at this particular store but it's not a standard thing.
Yes I knew this. This is how I get trapped because I say I’m only going to remnants but end up walking around to see clearance only then on to other areas. lol 😊 thanks for sharing
Hello, Pat! Thank you so much for watching! Haha, yes, it does feel like a trap sometimes! Those clearance sections and that Last Chance fabric area are very tempting as well! I’ve had to skip going to Joann’s on a few occasions just to stay away from temptation! 🙈 Thanks so much for chatting with me, Pat! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I buy a lot of things on the remnants sales at Joann. I look for the bathing suit fabric, they usually have a piece or 2 and that way i always have extra to match my prints. And buy tons of fleece to make hats.
Hello, Brenda! Thank you so much for watching and for the great tips on kinds of fabrics to look out for! Swimsuit fabric would be an excellent find! Those take such small amounts of fabric you might be able to make a whole project just from the remnant section! Fleece would be another great one to stock up on, those fleece hats take small amounts of fabric, as well. Love these ideas, Brenda, you’re giving me lots of inspiration 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Had no idea about the sale price stacking - thank you, Tiffany! Also, didn't know that the remnants were located at other places in the store... Going to take advantage of this for my own and for charity sewing! -Sally from MO
I knew you got the sale price but wasn't sure how they continued to discount. When ever they explained it to me it didn't make sense. The way you explained it made it so easy to understand. Thank you. I feel a sudden urge to run to JoAnns. Lol
The sign on the remnants bin says, “75 or 50% off of the bolt price”, depending on the sale they are running that day. The tag reflects the full retail price. I usually pick out my remnants and go check the price on the bolt, then do the math and decide if I want to buy it.
I had no idea this is how the remnant sale worked! 🤯 Will need to pay closer attention to that section next time. I usually skip it because I figure the pieces are too small anyway, but you got some decent sized ones for dirt cheap! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Yes, I've known about the remnant sales. I used to get a lot of quilting fabrics from the remnant bin (small bits are good - they get cut into smaller pieces anyway!). Also when Kona solids were on sale,I would cull the remnant bins for various colors. Since they've been at the 75% off, I haven't really found any good fabrics, though.
I always search the remnant bin(s) for fabric. I use DBP for underpants and tank tops, and athletic knits for yoga waistbands on pants and skirts.
Hello, Jan! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing about your great experiences with the Remnant section! Those are great ideas for uses of smaller cuts of fabric, love it! Hope you have a great week, Jan! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I have bought remnants and expected the price to be half of the sticker price however I did not know the fabric would be discounted by the same amount as the same type fabric still on the bolt! Even more savings! Thanks for this tip!
Hello, Marci! Thanks so much for watching! Yes, even more savings is great with me 🥰 Hope you’re having a wonderful week, Marci! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Yes, I love this and hope it doesn't change now that they are reorganizing from bankruptcy! I use it to get nice quilt fabrics and quilt batting to make small projects like hotpads, interfacing (often 50% off already), lining fabric, batiks., fleece and felt for crafts. I got a yard of linen for $2 to supplement some I bought on sale - if there are multiple bolts, you could use a remnant piece to cut sleeves or a bodice and then purchase the rest you need to make an item from the remaining bolts on the shelf, making sure the dye lots match. It's one of my favorite places in the store, and I'm using a remnant piece of fabric right now, in fact, while I watch sewing videos!
I did not know about that secret. I will check out the remnant bins next time I'm there. Thanks for the great information!
Hello, Diane! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Diane! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Wow. I did not know that. I just always thought the remnants were too expensive. Lol
Great tip! Thanks! I guess I’ll have to weekend shop sometime.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Hope you find lots of great remnants 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I love the remnants because, I use the fabrics to try something new and if I mess up or it doesn't work out as I have imagined, it doesn't hurt my pocketbook so bad.
Hi former Hoosier here in Corpus Christi, Texas. Still Hoosier at heart and I go to the remnant section as soon as I get through the door. Just ran across your video. Jo Ann's has best deals. I'm one to take the rest of the bolt. If there's any left like yard or less I just get it too to be safe. From allen County area. Good luck with your channel
Yes I head there first on most days I stop by
So tempting!!! So dangerous!!! A great buy is the fleece in remnants. Great for baby blankets and remnants always end up being less than $2 for the fleece. Thanks for another great video!!
Hello, Rosemary! Thank you so much for watching! Oh yes! I always see fleece in the remnant section, I need to get a few pieces, they would be really handy to have on hand! Thanks so much for chatting with me, Rosemary! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
The fleece is my FAVORITE! I buy it to make blankets.
That is great information! So happy that you got such a bargain! I love to find great deals! Thank you!
Joann's does NOT have a 75% off remnant sale every weekend. If you watch their sales flyer or emails, it will tell you when. About once per financial quarter (3 mos).
Remnant price on the tag is very misleading. It is the regular price for that measured piece. The remnant price would be 50% of the label price. Then if the fabric is on sale, you get 50% off the sale price.
The same discount applies when they ask if you want the remnant when you get fabric cut. Example, a remnant of 35" of Calico on sale at $4.99 is $2.42. A 35" rem of batik is $4.37. Home decor and fleece remnants start at pieces less than a yard and a half. Most peons working there don't know this, ask a manager, who will reluctantly agree.
You can find remnants still on the bolts sometime too. Employees are lazy so rather than create a rem, they put it back on the shelf. One yard will go around the bolt 2x. If you find a piece on a bolt a smidge large than a yard, ask to buy an eighth or a quarter yard and the rest as a remnant. (35" or less)
- From a retired Joann employee, with a house full of remnants...
Hello! Thanks so much for watching! I think you misunderstood me, I didn’t say Joann’s had 75% off every weekend, I said to look for those sales when they come around as they are the best deals. Thanks for all the info from a former employee! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Interesting. In your example would they cut that eighth or quarter yard then give the rest as a remnant or do no cut?
If you're going to call people "peons" because they "don't know" something, you should probably make sure what you're saying is correct first. (Because you're misinformed about the size of remnants. Some fabric types can be over a yard, but it doesn't work the way you described. ❤️) And it's entirely possible for a store to have 75% off remnants every weekend if they have permission.
@@l2thnight They're not supposed to cut it. But they might - one time I took up a yard and 1/4 and said I wanted 1/4, which was supposed to be an obvious joke since the rest would be a remnant (and the person was a friend of mine who knew I had a fabric addiction problem 👀), but they actually immediately started cutting the quarter off without even offering the end of bolt discount on the rest... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Also, don't assume people are "peons" or "lazy" if they don't do it the right way - there's a very good chance they just don't know how they're supposed to do it and no one has told them. You can always politely ask them if they give an end of bolt discount if you take the entire piece and see what they say.
Thanks, I will definitely look at the remnants from now on.
I was lucky enough to learn about this some time ago. I love hitting up the remnants section. 😊
I have no idea, Tiffany. Thank you for sharing.
Hello, Mimi! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a wonderful week, Mimi! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Fabulous finds Tiffany :)
Hello, Agata! Thank you so much for watching and for such a kind comment! Hope you have a wonderful day, Agata! 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Thank you for sharing this information!! I shop, JoAnn a lots!! I will being paying attention next time!!
I used to ask and no and pick a bolt that was near the very end get the amount that I wanted at a regular price and then the piece that was a yard or under was a remnant piece and get it for next to nothing I've been doing that 40 yrs. I used to sit and figure it out and calculate it. This came in handy when I was doing quilting.
I had no idea😮 now I have to check it out Ty Tiffany 😊
Hello, Stephanie! Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you get any goodies from your remnant section 😉 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Hi! Yes, I've known about this since Covid. I didn't realize it was a secret. 😁 Thank you.!
Thank you for the tip!!!!
I have a small dog and like remnants of fleece for her pillows. If I was more ambitious I would make little sweaters. Definitely wait for the sales.
I had no idea. I do like to check out their remnant bin because you never know what you will find
Hello, Angie! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, the thrill is in the hunt, haha! 😆 Hope you have a wonderful week, Angie! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Hi 😂 great savings you got at Joanne's. 😊 Wish we had Joanne's over here in the uk. Or maybe they do online as well ? hmm ❤.
I was always confused on the price of the remnants. I love to buy them cause you can make so many cute creations with them! Thanks for the info this will get me over in the remnant section more often. 👍🏽
Even better than that is if you buy fabric from a bolt that may be only has 3 yards left and it’s on sale, go ahead and buy the 3 yards and then the rest of it will be approximately a yard or less than you can get it at the remnant price which is super cheap so you’ll get up to an extra yard for almost nothing. I actually will look at the end of a bolt and estimate how many yards are left and then when I go up, I can usually ask them for a certain amount and be guaranteed for about a yard at the remnant price a lot of my quilt backing material this way.
Hello, Shelly! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this about the yardage! Very smart way to get that extra yard for a fraction of the actual cost! I’ve done this a few times but mostly by accident. I need to remember this for the future! Hope you have a great week, Shelly! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
When looking at a bolt, each two folds is one yard. It has 6 folds = 3 yds.
Asked them to measure what there. Ask for 35" less, then ask for the 35" as a remnant.
@@jilbertb I understand people want to get as good of a deal as they can, but please don't do this on every bolt of fabric you bring up. Also, please don't badger them if they tell you they can't discount certain fabrics - you can always ask them to double-check with a manager, but there are some fabrics that can't be made into remnants.
Thanks for the info! ❤️🤗
Hello, Nancy! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a wonderful week, Nancy! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Oh rib knit for collars and cuffs great idea!
When flannel was on sale for $2.99 a yard, the remnants were also 75% off… I stocked up. I also stocked UP on fleece at the same time. I’m planning on making some fleece hats/scarves to donate next winter. Our schools collect them to give out to kids. I also wanna make some rag quilts to donate.
I think when I did the math I got 17 yards of fabric total for like $15 😂. Aaaaaaand this is where I pull my fabric for donation projects.
I’ve been keeping an eye out for knits and other fancy fabrics. I wanna use those to practice techniques. 😂
Most of the remnants at my local store are definitely fleece. Or maybe folks are buying the knits when I’m not around 😂😂😂
Here's a trick, buy an oversized Tshirt on sale $2.99.
Cut it apart and use the "fabric" for your top.
You can also make a dress from a Tshirt. Cut it off at waist level. Add a square or circular piece of fabric with a hole cut in the center. (Look up "circle skirt calculator" for hole cutting measurement.) Great for little kids - a dress for under $5!!!!
Usually people who are buying fleece don't sew and are making those fringed blankets so they don't want the leftover pieces (that's why there's always so much fleece), whereas people buying knit fabric are experienced sewers you know what a good deal it is (a lot of people are - understandably - terrified of knits 👀) so they usually take the remainder... LOL
I found that price scheme to be true last time I was there. I think that's new, I don't remember it being a double sale before.
Been this way 30 yrs....
Remnants is where I live!
Interesting. I had no idea how this worked! You always have great video ideas.
I found out about that great sale practice several years ago. I was taking my mom to the doctor quite regularly for awhile. One day we decided to lift our spirits and check out Joann's as Mom wanted a new project to work on. I could hardly believe the goodies I found in their remnant area! I was making bags and totes at the time and scored a lot of home decor fabric remnants. The fabric has some heft to it, so it was perfect for the bags I was making. It's been a favorite place to shop for a long time and comes filled with "mom" memories.
Was not aware of their pricing on remnants. Great Tip, thanks
The last time I was in Joanns I bought 90$ of double brushed Poly. The cashier then said he would ‘Stack’ the coupons I had on my app. So he scanned the $15 off 75$ then he scanned the $10 off $50 then $5 off $35 . Price I paid was a little over $ 50. Not sure if they’re supposed to do this but it sure was a good deal.
I have had the occaisional "good" cashier also do this for me. 😊Always a nice surprise❤
@@abundantlyinspired yes it was ! I had 9 yards of fabric only marked down 25 percent. Most retailed 13-17 $ a yard. It came to about $6 a yard.
It took off the $15 and $10 and $5 at the same time?? 👀👀👀
Also, don't worry about whether they're supposed to do it or not - it's not their problem if the people that programmed the coupons made them work like that 😂
@@kumada84 yes they did. It worked and it was a tremendous deal
You got some nice remnants!😊❤
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment! I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I agree. I have that green floral print gauzy fabric, it's one of my favorites. (They also sometimes have the same print in different colors and fabric types - I think I've seen a pink fleece, a blue knit, and a quilting cotton)
I'm lucky; the JoAnn near me is always at 75% off and they have lots of remnants. When calico is at $3.99, it's only $1.00 a yards! (Fleece is another fabric that will go one sale frequently making it very cheap.) I make girl's dresses for charity and the yard remnants are perfect. I typically get a yard for no more that $2.50/yd. The dresses only take a yard plus pockets. It makes them very inexpensive to make.
Years ago it was much simpler. All remnants were less then a yard and a percentage was taken off the original price. Usually it was marked down by 1/3 and that new amount was marked on the band.
That is how I remembered them pricing their remnant fabrics, which was still pricey.
I had no idea. thanks for sharing. I'll check that out next time I'm in.
Hello, Catherine! Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you find any great remnants 😉 Hope you’re having a wonderful week, Catherine! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I didnt know the way they mark their material. I'll be a lot better choosing now. Thanks for the info.
I've been looking for a garmet sewing utuber. Thank you. I'm so excited.

Hello, Lori! Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I had no idea. I thought the remnant price was the price as marked. I have passed many of these up thinking too expensive. Transparency in pricing would probably help Joann do much better in their sales. I’ve nearly quit going to Joann but maybe once a year when I desperately need thread. Even their patterns have gone up in price. It is no longer on my radar to frequent Joann. I would think of buying clothing and cut it up at a thrift store, shop my closet and fabric stash Thanks for the update.
Hello, Judith! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, the pricing and sale breakdown there at Joann’s could definitely be more transparent! It can get very frustrating! Maybe they’ll become better at things like this as they come out of bankruptcy. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me, Judith! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
You might already know this, but most of the patterns go on sale at least once a month - McCall's, Butterick, and Simplicity for $1.99 at least once a month (and I read that the KnowMe patterns go on sale when the McCall's ones do), and $5.99 for Vogue. (Or at least that's how it usually works - in the last sales they were $2.99 instead of $1.99.)
I have always passed on the remnants because they were always too expensive. It never looked like they discounted them. Guess I should take a second look.
Hello, Patty! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Patty! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Fentastic thank you for sharing.
Yeah I’ll check them to see if what I’m buying is in there I’ll buy w/e amount they have in it and then if I need more I’ll buy it at the regular price
I didn't know this little secret. I will have to go to JoAnn's on the weekends now. I try to hit major stores during the week to avoid the crowds. I have never bought any remnants though because the price was way out of my budget, which seemed strange to me. Thank you for this really good tip!! I will be heading to JoAnn's on Saturday! Have a wonderful week and God Bless.
Hello, Shanna! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great experience hunting for those bargain remnants! I would definitely give your store a call before you go and see if the 75% remnant sale is going on before you make the trip. They don’t always have that sale going, it’s sporadic throughout the month, at least for my store anyway. Thanks for chatting with me, Shanna! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
@@hoosierhandmade22 Thank you, Tiffany. That is a good point. I will definitely call to see if the 75% sale is on. I do get their daily/weekly emails, do they put the sale in there? Have a wonderful evening Tiffany.
I’m thrilled to find out about this but my husband is not so happy 😄 💸
The remnants at my Joann store were all fleece fabrics. I looked around and couldn't find any other remnants. Maybe I just was there at the wrong time. When I have fabric cut and there is less than a yard left, they offer me the end piece at 75% discount so I always take it. Your remnants are gorgeous!
Hello, Dillis! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, sometimes the remnant section doesn’t have much selection. I do love how they offer those end of bolts at the remnant price as well. It always tempts me to just buy it all, lol! Hope your health is improving, Dillis, I’ve been thinking of you often and saying prayers for you! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Yes, Tiffany, I am feeling much better. Back to my regular routine. Thank youu for your prayers!💖
I think they changed the software on the scanners (they screwed it up) and now they can't give you 75% off unless they mark it as damaged. So they might only be able to make it 50% off now
Thanks for the great tip. I just found you and subbed 😊
Hello, Maritza! Thank you so much for watching! Welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel and I can’t wait to get to know you better 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany

I never knew about the stacking sales. I went to my Joann’s on a Saturday and the remnants where 60% off. It might be a store or regional thing.
Hi
Im from Indy as well!! Thank you great info!!
Hello! So neat to hear from a fellow Hoosier! Thank you so much for watching 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I'm a quilter so small pieces are just fine. Best piece I ever got was 8 cents. I think it was 7 or 8 inches. Small, but that's ok!
I live in remnant section. I have known this process and count on it.
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens #mamacoo 😘😘😘
Good to know!
And if after they have cut your yardage order from the bolt, if only a remnant is left they will offer it to you at remnant price! And sometimes there is interfacing or fusible as a remnant too
If they don't offer you can ask. Sometimes I pick fabrics to be cut that I am pretty sure will have less than a yard after what I want and I ask for the reminant price on the balance of the bolt if it is something I can use.
If I could ever find any quilting fabric there that isn't junky and shopworn... If only they actually stocked up on notions instead of having half-empty displays...If only the aisles weren't a jumble of unshelved unpacked produts because see they expect everyone to do the work of 3 or 4 people...If only the parking lot weren't trashy and oily...if only I liked cheesy throwaway holiday decor. My only success there was a half-price entire bolt of pellon 101.
💯💯💯 If only they actually valued the business and their customers, employees, vendors, and cities enough to make their stores viable. You get the impression the only thing they actually value are their retention bonuses.
Now that they’re out of bankruptcy, everything should be fully stocked by the end of October ( at least that’s the story at my JoAnn’s)
@@karenmarrow9572 Haha, my stores been like for at least 7 years.
