I always know when I get to be a snarky B**** coz DH ever so lovingly tells me: Honey you need to go pet your fabric.
Then I go to my room, take out the fabric, stroke it, refold it/resort it and put it away. That is what I do on a budget. When money is no issue, I head off to the LQS and play with the fabric there to see who wants to come home with me.
