Mary Jo's is a frequent stop of mine too. A problem there is too few carts. I've learned to take BIG shopping bags into which I put bolts of fabric. As I make my selections, I stack the bags of bolts near the end of a cutting counter until I'm ready to have it cut/torn. Fabric is heavy, so getting my bags of measured fabric to the register is difficult. I like to go in the winter. DH sleeps in the car, and comes in to help when I'm ready to haul. In the summer, it's too hot for him, and the husky, so my foray is brief.
