just a reply....i agree with most all of the mentioned wishes with friendly helpful staff at the top. also the mention of extra fabric to each cut..i usually ask for it and not the "jo ann cut" it is very frustrating to get home and after straightening the fabric i have already lost two or three inches. best of luck with your new store. i'd love to stop in if i am in the area..we are fortunate in my area as in a 25 mile area there are six great quilt shops that meet most of the wishes of shoppers
