I only want high quality fabric, and like to do my feel test. I am on a very strict budget but when the LQS has FQ reg $2.50 each on sale of $1.00 you bet I run right over (1 hour drive each way), but call a friend to go with me.
Just this morning bougt LQS fabric at $3.99 yd. I buy almost all my fabric at different LQS but NEVER (or hardly ever) pay retail. They all usually have sale fabrics for up to 50% off. That comes real close the JA prices and 100% better quality. JMHO
