Default Buy or Use Up Stash??

Would you buy LQS fabric on sale, say at 60% off, even if you didn't have a particular pattern in mind, or would you still try and use up your stash?

Right now, I'd try to use up stash, but that is because we are on a tight budget. I usually buy fabric on sale to add to my stash so if it were normal circumstances, a-shopping I would go!

60% sounds pretty good. If I had the opportunity I would at least buy some for backing fabrics at that price, or even some blenders for use with fabrics I might already have. Then of course there is that one fabric you just have to have and....it's 60% off. I would probably check out the sale.

both- i am always using from my stash- but when a fabric appeals to me-and is a great price i buy it- i seldom have a pattern in mind- unless i am currently working on something- i buy fabric i love- when i see it-and can afford it- so most of my fabric is my stash- i am always working out of my stash

I think I could justify buying at least a little bit at 60% off! I'd probably spend way too much time browsing, trying to decide what to get, and then would overbuy! (Go buy some if you can!)

I would tell myself to use my stash while I was paying for the new fabric. I have no willpower.

If I found fabric I really liked, I would buy it. Did that today.
