a few months ago I was purchasing some fabrics in a lqs, and as we were chatting, the owner checking my purchases, said offhandedly, (meaning, without thinking who she was saying this to), said, "I just went to a quilt show and some of the fabrics were 12.00 and up a yard. It made me think about what I was doing wrong."
I responded rather quickly, "....or what your doing right!"
She then realized that although a nice, chatty person, I was also a paying customer, and this had made me feel like I was soon going to be taken advantage of.
So, she said, "Oh, right."
Since then I have gone in her store and sure enough, the prices are creeping up, up and up.
Why do the fabric owners think they are losing out, if they are still making a decent profit?
Don't they realize that even some of us "compulsive" buyers, can actually muster the strength to resist if it gets out of hand?
This was my first purchase in 3 months and that's an all time record for me.
It won't be the last
