I seldom go into a quilt shop because there really aren't many around me. When I have traveled to one it seems the focus is on what I call "loud" bright modern prints from top name designers, Just not my thing. The closest shop to me is the fabric shack in waynesville,and I am lucky they are fantastic.
LOL, I tried to word it like this, "do you carry any of the steel finger protectors from Aunt Becky for hand quilting?" as I was doing sign language of putting it on my hand. She joked, "I don't have an Aunt Becky" and I said, "I don't either and I need her!" She said I could have her Aunt Tammy!
