My LQS is so very sweet and kind.
1. They have someone in the shop trained to sharpen scissors there in the shop while you wait. You dont have to leave your babies.
2. They have a play area for little ones set up in a safe area of the store(not near any doors) that can be seen from all areas of the store.
3. They have large tables available to set up and use at no charge if you want to come in and sandwich/pin your quilt.
4. They send out class lists both by mail or email. Which ever works best for you.
5. They have internet access and will order fabric/notions that they dont have in stock or dont normally carry.
