I went to one for the first time yesterday while waiting for them to service my car. I was specifically looking for a curved needle to do basting (they only had the really thick ones) but I did check out the fabrics. I couldn't believe the prices!! Some were a little below LQS prices, but a lot were a LOT below LQS prices. Never heard of any of the manufacturers though. Quality felt OK on the few that I fingered. Did not buy anything!!
