In these economic hard times one thing that will have to be re-learned is the importance of customer service.
This goes from where you get your oil changed to where you buy groceries to your local LQS...
I went to 3 different quilt shops yesterday...
One was about 30mins away, I found 2 patterns and 2 yds of BW fabric, I went to another one and found 2 yds more of bw fabric and then to another that was less than 5 mins from my house and found ZERO fabric...
The latter quilt shop had great prices but not alot of inventory nor patterns and kits...
The second a bit better but the one that was 30 mins away had great fabrics, spendy and kits and BOMS and a bit more pricey...
Plus they have an online store...
Plus the CS was good!!!
I am all for supporting my local quilt shops but at least give me some customer service and variety...
Otherwise I can go to the big box stores...
