Yes, I support my LQS's for the following reasons:
They have friendly and knowledgable staff. :D
I appreciate the quality of the fabric. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
They have large selections (the larger the better) to choose from. :thumbup:
They carry many patterns and books. :thumbup:
They offer classes. :thumbup:
The staff are supportive and encouraging. :-D
I want them to succeed, and I like supporting the individual business owner :thumbup: over the large corporation. :thumbdown:
I shop online only when I can't find what I am looking for locally.
