I sure wish I could help keep the LQS in business! But when I see the same item at Joann's (with a coupon or not) for alot less it only makes sense to buy it cheaper. And I refuse to pay the high prices for a yard of fabric the LQS is asking. I can drive to garage sales, or look on Craigslist, Ebay, Joann's or Walmart. Plus, at this time I have enough stash where I really just don't need more unless I sell some then replace later. My LQS does not have good sales nor coupons. I just drop by to drool, then wipe myself clean and go where I can afford to buy.
