I don't go to my 'local' shop. It's an hour and twenty minute drive to get there so if I do go to the town it's in I am usually there in the morning and they don't open until 1 in the afternoon and are closed on Mondays my usual day off . Too late for me to stop in as I am usually on my way back home by then. I stopped in once but was very disappointed by the fabrics in the store. Very little choice and at $18.00 yd it was hard to justify buying anything there when I can get the same quality at half that price elsewhere and without the drive.
