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.
That is just CRAZY !! How are they still in business ? No shop should be marking up 8 YEAR OLD fabric ! But then, a GOOD shop shouldn't HAVE 8 year old fabrics. A SMART shop should have fabrics no more than 2 years old. That's what SALES & Bargain bins are for ! :roll:
This is not as rare as some might think. We have several LQS in our area doing the same thing..........however, the couple shops that are prospering, make it their job to cater to the customers. I'll pay extra for that.....when I can.
