I TRY to support my LQSs, I really do. I want them to be there when I need something fast and in a pinch! Problem being, *I* think my money looks so much better in my pocket than it does in theirs!
I went to a LQS/Sewing store to check on a FMQ foot for my Janome. $79.95! I don't have that kind of money...so I came home and looked online. I found both the closed and the open toe feet for less that $30 with shipping! I was totally amazed...what makes for that kind of difference in pricing?
I know the stores have overhead, and expenses to pay, but sheese...
