Am I in the minority then? Guess I must be!

Yes, I know I could have phoned on ahead ........but I had to check out their fabrics didn't I?

That is not so! I have only hand quilted for many years. The quilt I am working on now will be my first "fmq" but then I will be hand quilting my next project. I would think they would want to accomodate all quilters. If they want to keep your business - demand they stock it!
