I am loyal to my local quilt shop to a point. I have her do most of my quilting, but am saving at least one quilt back until I can find someone to do the custom work I want done on it. I realize that business is not good for anyone, but I have to spend my $ where I can get the best buy. There are a couple of places I shop on line because I have learned that I will get quality fabric from them. There are 3 quilt shops locally, one is closing, one is staying status quo, and one is expanding.
