Thanks for your comment, Lee, I appreciate it. It's always been my hope that the previews are helpful, and are win-win-win for everyone:
- it's like window-shopping in that it doesn't cost anything to look, and even planning for a project that never becomes real, still can be fun
- for real projects, you can see what's coming next, so you know what to wait for and/or ask your LQS for
- the LQS wins, too, because if the customers ask about a line, then the LQS gets a better idea of what they *should* be carrying. Every shop owner I've spoken to has said that it's hard to select fabrics to carry, because their own taste tends to drive the choices... when, to be the most successful, the choice has to be about what the customers like.
