I'm moving just outside of Corpus Christi. My problem is internet searches haven't produced much for fabric stores (outside Joanns and such) and there are only a couple places listed on the manufacturer site for service. Which aren't always updated, like one of the places listed for my current location closed two years ago. If I knew I could find a good place down there to get them taken care of at, I'd wait. I know I won't be sewing until I get myself unpacked and settled anyway. LOL
