"I agree with you Cindy. Few and far between. My local store is Beverly fabrics and they have some good and some bad so you have to pick through it. There is a store called Bolt in Cloverdale, one called Fabrications in Healdsburg, and Village Fabrics in Santa Rosa. Village just opened shop here but it's small and they don't have as good a selection. I have also heard Fat Quail in Laytonville is good quality but I have never been there."
You should also check out Meissner Sewing. They just recently opened a store in Santa Rosa. Have you heard of them? They have a few locations here in the Sacramento area and carry nice fabric as well as sewing machines.
