Hi everyone! I'm new to this website and I'm trying to figure out how often patterns go on sale at places such as Joanns? Is it weekly, bi-weekly... Please help! Thanks

There's usually one brand or another available on the Joann ad, though it's irregular in what's on when. Seems like about a 6-8 week rotation to get through the major brands, though that's just a guesstimate.

I've even seen stuff like Butterick on for a week, off for three days, then back on sale again the next week. (Where's the eyeroll emoticon?)

Did you see the pinned "Pattern Sales" thread at the top of this forum page? PR members post every single major JA sale (among lots of other sales) as they come up.

Six to eight weeks sounds about right; I seem to buy a handful of patterns every couple of months. Today began the sale on McCall's/Butterick/Vogue; last weekend was Simplicity and Burda (?). Burda and Kwik Sew go on sale less frequently. New Look and See & Sew never go on sale, but they're always great bargains (all the size ranges in one envelope, for ~$3 all the time).

Also PR has patterns sales, so watch for them as well.

It seems like I've seen sales more frequently lately in the Joanns ad? Is it possibly because of the holidays or...? Thanks!
