I seldom go to my LQS and I shop at JoAnn's regularly. But this week I was out of town and went to a LQS. My experience this week gave me a strong reminder of the service and help I can get if I am willing to pay a little more. I still need to shop price, but I also sometimes need the help and opiniong of other quilters to nudge me to make a good fabric choice. I got that help at the LQS. At JoAnn's I get lots of sweet complements on my project but seldom and advice or direction.
