I love my LQS -- actually, it's not the one the closest, but I'll drive 50 miles RT to go there!!! I like it because they DO have the fabrics by manuf, and style (flannels in one area, children's prints in another) but they also have an area of fabrics by color. They have tons of notions, too. But the biggest reason I go there........they greet me with a smile, offer to help and DON'T force themselves on me. But if I need help, they are VERY helpful. One shop that I only go to if I'm in an emergency state, has one worker that grabs your bolt, says there's something over here you should see to go with it, then runs across the store. She then goes back and forth and tries to force fabrics on me. If I don't like something she asks "why?"...GRRRR :roll: One day, I was there for 1 yard to match a swatch. She tried to run me across the store 5 times...after the 4th I told her to bring me the bolt......:hunf:
Having chairs to relax would be AWESOME....but then, I'd probably spend more!!! :thumbup:
