I buy in the LQS. Years ago when Joanns started everyone was buying there. Now there are no regular fabric stores with high quality sewing fabrics in my area. Resources are very limited on that. I don't want that to happen with the LQS so I buy from them even though the prices are higher. Now that one has moved to a new location about 5 miles from my house, I'll probably be buying even more. I have a trip planned for one of my lunch hours next week!
