This post says most of what I feel. There are four good quilt shops within a half hour drive from me, one only a mile away, and I try to frequent all of them. I watch for sales, and appreciate their good service and help with questions. Recently bought some cheap fabric at WalMart for an upcoming guild class, but even after washing it, some just doesn't feel nice to me. If I like the technique I learn, I'll save up for the good fabric to make it again. Sad that prices are so high these days, but I know the shop owners are NOT getting rich on it. Just good small business people, and I hope to keep them going! JoAnn's is 40 miles away, and mostly get batting, notions, etc. when I get there.
