I don't blame him. Koa wood is absolutely beautiful. If you've ever seen the back of a guitar made with it, you'd never question it!
In answer to the original question, I buy fabric that I love and have never seen before. Many LQSs stick to a few select lines of fabric, so going to different stores, you will see different lines. For example, here in my hometown, I went into Hobby Lobby yesterday and ended up buying 7-1/2 yards of one fabric. It wasn't there Friday when I went in, and it may not be there tomorrow, so I got what I wanted.
Skyangel, I love your avatar. I have a 1950 FW that I am thinking of having painted. Purists cringe, but I have 3 other blacks, so can have my cake and eat it, too.
