I don't find much at the goodwills around here but one thrift store does have a decent fabric section, hit or miss on quality. I did see 3 awesome old sewing machines at an auction last week...they have it weekly & machines sell super cheap, glad I didn't have money with me or I'd have taken one home, LOL! I'd say given the part of PA I live in that older people & the Amish still sew quilts. The younger women I see in JA's buying fabric are always decorating or making simple things like pillowcases.
