Is JOANN really gone?

Yes — JOANN filed for bankruptcy and liquidated its stores in 2025. That's why quilters have been moving their batting, interfacing, and fabric shopping to specialty retailers online.

Where can I buy Warm and Natural batting now?

Linda's carries The Warm Company's batting lines alongside Hobbs, Quilters Dream, and Pellon — in packaged sizes and by the roll.

Where do I buy Pellon interfacing now that JOANN closed?

Linda's stocks Pellon interfacing and batting, shipped to your door, with free economy shipping on orders of $125 or more.

Is shopping a quilting specialist more expensive than JOANN was?

Often the opposite for quilting supplies — buying batting by the roll and thread by the cone costs less per quilt than craft-store packaged sizes, and you're choosing from full product lines instead of whatever fit the shelf.

JOANN Alternative for Quilters: Where to Shop Now That JOANN Closed

JOANN — the fabric and craft chain generations of quilters grew up with — closed its doors for good in 2025 after bankruptcy and a full liquidation of its stores. For quilters, that didn't just remove a store; it removed the default place to grab batting, interfacing, quilting cotton, and thread on a Saturday. If you're searching for a JOANN alternative for quilting, here's exactly what Linda's Electric Quilters covers.

Short version: Linda's Electric Quilters carries the quilting core of what you bought at JOANN — batting (including the Warm Company lines JOANN shoppers know), Pellon interfacing, 5,000+ fabrics by the yard, 500+ quilt kits, minky, and thread — with deeper selection than a craft chain ever stocked, shipped to your door.

The Upgrade Hiding in the Change

Craft-chain shelves carried one or two batting options in a few packaged sizes. A quilting specialist carries the whole map: cotton, 80/20, wool, polyester, bamboo, and fusible — in packages and rolls that cost less per quilt. Same with thread: instead of a general-sewing wall, you get the cones longarmers spec by name. Losing the drive to JOANN hurts; gaining a catalog built by people who quilt daily is the consolation prize.
