I might also add that shops that require you to purchase ALL of your items for a class in their shop, are best to be avoided. I can see getting the pattern maybe, but really, what if I prefer batiks and they don't carry them? Or I need to shop my stash before I invest in a project I won't like....never cared for the "buy it here" policy. Now if they off you a discount for buying there for your class that is one thing, but it should only be an option, not a LAW!
