The two LQSs close to me don't have a full range of notions, so that's what usually takes me to JoAnn's -- rulers, rotary blades, Guttermann's on sale, freezer paper, template plastic, etc. Once there, I usually amble through the quilting fabric section. Also, the LQSs don't carry solids (but I normally order solids from FabricShack or the Fat Quarter Shop, as they have all the colors, but JoAnn's has a limited number).
