I do not shop the internet or the big box stores for fabric. The more fabric bought on line or in big box stores, (i.e Walmart/JoAnn) is money that is not going to a quilt shop. The smaller businesses need our business to stay open!! I also want quality fabric when I make a quilt, another reason to add to your list. :-)

The internet is not
completely evil. I recently purchased fabric that I could not find anywhere else online from - guess what - a small quilt shop located 2100 miles away from me. A smart and organized LQS owner can and will have a successful online presence, and can beat the big box stores at their own game.
