We only have one local quilt store & when I have taken a class if there is a charge for the class she prints out instructions & gives us a discount on the material & even if we go back for more fabric she gives a discount then too. When it is time for the backing fabric there is also a discount. She has even ordered patterns for me when she orders & I only pay the price that is on it NO shipping of other charges other than State & city sales taxes. Ours is locally owned. She is also a great quilter.
