We have 3 LQS with varying amounts of fabric and inventory turnover. I now have a sizeable stash (that's my thought anyway) so when I do go into a LQS, I want a friendly, neat and organized store. One of the LQS does make sure that her inventory is full of new fabrics - she has very good sales to clear out several times a year and she has a gallery of samples throughout the store. One of the other LQS has fabrics that I know are at least 5+ years old and is cluttered and disorganized. I don't feel guilty when I shop online- it is convenient, sames time and money.
