Ok, in the CAry area--about 15 miles or so from Raleigh is ETC Crafts and fabric store--in a lovely old house in Cary on Chatham Street--a must see/stop/shop. On the main drag in Raleigh is the Bernina dealer/fabric store. Good selction. If you end up on the edge of town going to the airport, there is Wish Upon a Quilt. Internet as well as retail shop. Only open from 10- to 2 Tues---Sat. Those are the ones that I shop at. Mostly the Bernina store b/c its not too far fromthe house. Good luck! Let me know if you get a moment to breath and maybe we could get together for coffee!
