I go because they have a great Bargin Basement.
I go because I pick their brains.
I go because I really enjoy talking to them.
I go JUST TOO HAVE FUN!
Me too, i really love the ladies at my LQS, very supportive, helpful, much better atmosphere at joann's. I get my batting and notions at joanns. I get gift certificates to my LQS so I don't really think of the price, also LQS has pattern that joannns doesn't carry and you don't have to pay shipping as with an online store. I shop online for fabric, but i have to already know the line and what it looks like. Colors aren't always accurate on those online shops and have purchased stuff I couldn't use in my project. I may buy patterns online my LQS doesn't carry. and i just love taking classes. Just let your fam know you want gift certs to your favorite LQS and you will be able to get some of their yummy fabric
