I didn't take it as that. I just took your post as a matter of opinion. There's fabric stores in this area that I go into even though I have friends that won't step foot into them. There's others that I don't care for and other people love. Unless it was poor quality fabric I'd always check it out for myself. We have one that specializes in what I call dark, dreary, drab colors but I still go there sometimes because she does have a few other things. I have friends that go there all the time because they LOVE the "country" colors. It's all a matter of taste.
Don't sweat your posts.
I tried to go to a store while on vacation last year that had been highly recommended by some people on this board. When I called them for exact directions and told the woman where I was on the highway, she gave me vague directions. As I got closer I called again only to find out that they had closed 15 minutes after I talked to the sales person---even though I'd told her that I was an hour away from their town and was on my way. Their store is very "off the beaten path" and DH was pretty mad that I'd wasted all that time and gas. Even though I'll be through that area again this year I won't take the time to check it out. Nor will I order from them again like I had in the past.
ps: I didn't expect them to stay open for me but if she'd just said, "You won't be able to make it here before we close..." It would have been really helpful. I even told her that I was from out of state.
