I try to support my LQS. I ordered a couple items yesterday through them. I don't need the items right away and that's ok. One shop is going out of business (retiring) so it's hurting some of the others. I told thm to hang in there. they will be busier than ever and may need to add more hours. I found there what I couldnt' find elsewhere and often do. I also like to touch and feel. When they cut the fabric they open all the way to check for blemishes. Sweet people.
