I guess I have to disagree with Holice. You really can't make generalizations as to what a LQS carries for stock. LQS are owned by individuals. These individuals decide which fabric lines to purchase. My 4 or 5 local, LQS carry fabric and manufacturers that I've not seen at any Big Box type store. You aren't going to see Moda, for example, at Joannes. Not yet anyway.
