Cleanliness! (I'm a bit OCD)
Next is order - I don't mind a cheerful mix but things have to be displayed in a way that I can get to them and see them.
I hate being followed around! I've had a LQS that did that until I explained how it disturbed me. Eventually they got the idea and stopped doing that to patrons.
New fabric is nice, so is old. I like a mix. I suppose I can get newer fabrics off line??
I also love to see finished items that will inspire me or give me ideas.
Sounds like the new store has the ingredients to succeed - hope they figure it out before they "turn off" too many people.
