Within a 150 mile radius I have 6 LQS at my disposal. Just because it's a LQS doesn't mean that they necessarily have all quality fabric. Have had some fabric that frayed so badly I had to use fray check for fear the seam allowances would fray out before I could finish the project even though to feel them in the store they were soft, draped well and were tightly woven. I, also, question how some stores can sell quality fabric for $5.99 a yard from name manufacturers while a LQS is selling the same thing for $10.99 a yard. I believe in making a profit but there's a limit to everything.
