I am like a lot of other quilters, unable to just buy ALL the fabric I want. I found after my first husband died, that I really wanted VALUE for my money. So with my quilting just like other things in life, I want value for my dollar (or lots of dollars - lol). I've gotten some good things from all the shops listed, but one that has been overlooked is: Fort Worth Fabric Studio - Jodi (the owner), answers her own phone. She's a small business owner (like so many of us), she has one employee. So Jodi knows what is going on at all times. I have ordered from her and will continue to place orders with her. When I receive something from Fort Worth, it comes with a hand addressed label (I know computers are faster, but they are not personal). I have nothing to do with this company, other than being a VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER. So I feel I receive value, because the products are wonderful. But most of all the personal service Jodi gives her customers is GREAT.
