Cathi, I can't find the article about Joann's that you are referring to. Juno

Try

and click on business. Half way down the page under the caption Plain Dealer it says something like right size in the fitting room.

Found it but found this comment interesting/odd:

"The only categories missing are formalwear and jeans, because people don't make those at home."

Hmm...formalwear is > Try

and click on business. Half way down the page under

Thanks Cathi

Are your children tall enough for the machine, and old enough to follow the instructions while alone in the booth?

As for formalware, seems that most people who do a lot of that are sewing for other people, and are experienced sewists who are adept at adapting patterns, so would not be fertile territory for this service. Who would want to make their clients report to the JoAnn's store for measurements?

Both children are big enough to use the machine, though only the oldest one can stand still for it. The formalwear I have made has been for me and for others. DHs company has an annual party that is formal, so I am constantly making new things, sometimes adapting patterns to what I want versus what is readily available.

No matter what I click on it wants me to register. Oh well.

You can alter the truth! Juno

It is not registering, it is collecting statistics, year of birth and gender. Nothing scary.

Maybe give them information relating to your sewing machine?

I seem to remember this company from a few years back, when there were many complaints about either the patterns not fitting or the service being extremely slow. It wouldn't affect me, as I have pattern drafting software, but anyone considering trying this system might want to do a web search first.
