I have one LQS. I went in recently and made a few purchases and the lady was actually friendly!! I stopped going in there years ago since the staff was never friendly to me. I once went in with my Mother and my sister and when we left my sister asked if they were always so unfriendly. I never said a word about the place to her ahead of time!! Even she could sense it. So that was the last time until recently.
I buy a lot of fabric on line and at Joanns. I am happy with shopping all ways for fabric.
