I have to say one of the friendlist (sp?) shops I have visited is in NC, Spring Lake "Loving Stitches". The owner has lent me a pair of scissors when my luggage did not arrive with me, and another time I went in with my DGD about 3 yrs old, she was encouraged to touch all the fabric. Fantastic service, above and beyond.

You fill out a wish list and she helps them figure it out. I think she feeds them too. Her staff is so nice too. If you are ever in Colorado, check out Creative Cloth Closet in Canon City.

My husband reports the truly horrible service to the CEO if it is a large company. But he also reports the truly great service. I think we should be more proactive and report the great service, selection, classes, etc., then we can also report the bad. You could even say so(that we compliment as well as criticize) in a letter, reminding the shop owner that you want to have a great LQS, but if they don't change, they will not be it, and may not even be around. Let's hope that maybe they don't see or understand how they are coming across to customers.

There are good and bad employees on any given day at every LQS. I have had same employee be good or bad! Do we not all have good and bad days! Sometimes people react to your mood. I shop LQS depending on if they have fabric that I like. I was just at LQS and the staff is really great and helpful! BUT I will probably not go back there for a while since I did not like the fabric they currently have in the shop.
