I have always tried to get everything at our local shop but I think the last few times I'd be in there she would ignore me and be busy eating lunch, talking to other employees, cutting fat quarters...I also in general don't think they made much effort at helping pick fabrics and stuff like that. Im new to quilting so I need probably more help that everyone else. I have told them that too. I think if they would make more effort I'd love to shop there. But now I will go to the local wal mart. There's a lady there that helps me alot more.
