Like all small businesses, LQSs are heavily reliant on their customers' purchases, and it's lovely to support them instead of the big box or chain stores when we can, which I do. However, and I can only speak for myself, while I'm trying not to buy new fabric for my stash there, I still need to go and support my LQS fairly often to get batting and thread and rulers and spray baste and thimbles and backing fabric and... :-D
And when I've used some of the fabric I've already got, I shall go back to buying fabric again.
