i can't afford to support my LQS and most of my guild can't either.
they do not have honest pricing and the only way we can show our disappointment is to not shop with them any longer.
they have fabric on the shelves that are at least 8 years old and every year the price of these bolts go up along with everything in the shop.
they closed the shop for 2-3 days and they raise the price on everything in the store not just new inventory coming in.
a yard of fabric from the 8 year old bolts used to cost me $5 a yard and now its $14 a yard.
i am very happy shopping online for my fabric/notions and see absolutely no need for a LQS.
