I still enjoy shopping online. There are some LQS here, but their prices are outrageous, some over $10 per yard. I'm a bargain shopper, so rarely pay full price for a piece of fabric. I shop a LOT online and I'm sure my mailman must think I'm crazy!! Some people say that you're paying extra for shipping, but it all averages out. You pay for gas to get to your LQS, and then pay full price for the fabric. Online, you can shop in your robe with a cup of coffee at your beck and call. I've never had a bad experience with online shopping.
