I agree -- When I go to a LQS it is eacuse I really want to buy a particular fabric. It seems like all the shops -- both in WA and here in ME that I go to put fabrics on the floor. I can do the bending/squat stuff, but I don't notice what is there. The shop in downtown Olympia has bad lighting so the colors are dull or distorted.
I know they want to have as many choices as possible, but bad display means bad sales on overlooked fabrics.
They may not do anything about it -- or reposition some - not all - items. If it is a small, personally owned shop, you may run into the "virgin daughter" syndrome. "She is mine and she is perfect"
Still I think, as a past shop owner, suggestions are welcome if they are gentle.
