While it saddens me too, they are only hurting themselves. If they think they can charge was the LQS does, then people like us will stop buying there and that will hurt their sales. They have gone down hill in the last couple of years---they just keep reducing the "fabric" side of the store and increasing the novelty side. If I want to buy "garden, holiday, or floral" there are plenty of other places to go. As for the fabric--I have a nice stash, and I have been ordering more and more on line. Saves me gas and I can do it in my pajamas. They will learn really quickly!!! Hang in there girls.
