Welcome from Illinois. You'll find that this is a wonderful board with friendly people. You'll also find out all our money saving tricks like cutting up men's cotton shirts from Goodwill and searching for fabric there too. Most of us scrounge through remnants, fabric store clearances, garage sales, estate sales, auctions and thrift stores to boost our stash. If there's someone here that only buys from fabric stores I don't know of them. LOL
