There are 3 LQS's I frequent. I drive 45 min to 1 hour and 15 minutes and it is well worth it. I only buy my fabric from LQS's, it may cost a little more than purchasing it online, but the customer service can't be beat. I can pick up the phone and just give them my name, they know me. One of the shops will ship me anything I want if I can't make it to the shop, and just put a bill in the package. I feel like I am at home at these shops and it is a wonderful feeling.
