I used to go to the new fabric line section first. But now that my sewing room is overflowing with fabric and since I just HAVE to come home with SOMETHING, I now wander through the store but head to the charm pack and jelly roll section last (if they have one) and am getting quite a collection of them instead of yardage. That way I go home with fabric but don't spend as much as I usually did for yardage. It works for me! I have quite a few patterns using charms that I downloaded for free from various websites and blogs. I have several WIP using them but that is another story......
