I make at least two trips a month to Mary Jos - wonderful selection of fabrics quilting and otherwise, batting is the lowest price I have ever found and good quality - you can buy it off the bolt.... they sell a variety of wide backs and have the cheapest prices on quilt supplies (rulers, mats etc) they also sell lots and lots of stuff needed for sewing like retain, synthrolpol if you are going to be their anyway you defiantly need to stop at sew much fun it really is around the corner about a mile down - very nice quilt shop and Bernina dealer I was at the big quilt show in cabbaras yesterday and sew much fun had a great booth. ENjoy and get your feel of feeling and playing with fabric (BTW the tear their fabric to keep it on grain they also only cut/tear one size in other words don't ask them to give you smaller pieces that a quilt calls for they also have bunches of wonderful novelty fabrics and amazing blenders!
