The fact that they are there is enough for me to go to a LQS. My favorite ones have friendly helpful staff who aren't pesky and let me browse if I want to or help when I need it. There is a shop here with fabric I like but their lighting is bad. Also they need lots of batiks because I find that is mostly what I buy. I am fortunate to have 7 LQS within about 15 miles of my house. I also have a JoAnns and 2 Hancocks. There is a new one I haven't been to yet but I will probably go next week. My son has been visiting from Japan for a month and his wife will be here for the next week.
