Quilting Class Etiquette Question....
Is it considered the thing to do to buy your supplies from the LQS that you are taking the class from?
I already have the batting and King Tut thread and I would much prefer to purchase my fabric in the States, where it is half the price, but if that is not appropriate, I'd like to know. Or could I purchase maybe the main fabric at the LQS and bring the rest?

I never have - the local store that has classes that I like here, does not really carry fabric lines that I like.
They offer a discount on class day and encourage shopping, but nobody has ever given me stink-eye for bringing my own things and not buying anything. I'm paying the class fee, after all.
Maybe it's different if it's a free class?

I'd probably bring my own stuff and maybe make a small purchase at the shop. A couple of fat quarters or something similar. It would depend on what I'd already paid for the class and what the shop had to offer.

If I'm paying to take the class (as opposed to a free class), I don't feel obligated to buy my supplies from them. I did see on a LQS's website that they requested that you buy your fabrics from them which I considered a bit pushy because their classes are fairly pricey. When you pay to take a class, I feel you should be able to use whatever fabrics you want.
