I went into a new one a few weeks ago that looked more like a gift/antique shop than a quilt shop. Lots of old furniture with stuff displayed on it. Fat quarter packages and other packages of fabric. Very little fabric selection on bolts. Some notions and packages of patterns. One large room with two long arms. Nothing to incourage a hand quilter. I was talking to one of the clerks about hand quilting and was almost snubbed. She went to her long arm, pushed some buttons and walked off to let the machine do it's thing. To each his own!
