I put fabric in my suitcase so I wouldn't lose it(paid $25 for airfare on the suitcase). Also insured my dirty clothes for $200 figuring that I could replace them and buy more fabric if necessary. Yes I'm Fabricnut.
If you go in on Rte 14, go to the light, turn North, go to the 4th or 5th light, to Main St. anyway, turn left (it's right after the Kroger store on your right). Follow that road down until you see the big white sign on your left. It's several HUGE tan metal buildings, go in the one furthest to the West but also visit the one with the round red sign. In that one there's pallets and huge boxes full of rejects---some with misdyes, some with some rips, some with other problems. BUT if you buy the whole piece it's $1 a pound. That's approximately 25 cents a yard. I bought just over 29 1/2 lbs in there. I had so much fabric that I had to lay it out flat on the floor of my Jeep Grand Cherokee so that we'd have room for the suitcases. It was maybe a little over 6 inches deep, over the whole floor and I only spent a little less than $200.
If you were in Illinois, were you anywhere near East Central Il? If so, I hope you visited Threads of Time in Danville, Il. It is possitively the best all round LQS there is.
