second hand store, second hand store... always make time to cruise the thrift stores; you can pick up some great fabric, notions, heck a couple months ago I bought a quilting frame , still in the box , complete for 4.95! Look at everything; Wool clothing for penny rugs,beads for embelishing, floss for embroidery; yes, it takes a little time, and you have to visit more than one must times, depending on where I'm at in town, if I see a thrift store, I stop in. I've picked up hand made quilts for next to nothing! Bags of fabric 1 or 2 dollars, maybe you need an additional machine just for binding, or piecing, furniture for your sewing room.
