You are a VERY wise man LMBO |
I agree with those who say it's all about how it is displayed. If things are crammed in, willy-nilly, it's hard to feel like you've really seen what there is. Organization makes a world of difference.

Yes, I have been in a shop in Franklin Ten a couple of years ago that had so much fabric in not enough space that you couldn't see half of what was there. It was piled on the floor 2 and 3 bolts deep, you could never see what was in the back. I looked around but didn't like how cramped it was. I only bought a couple yards of fabric but it was overwhelming.
Now I have been in a couple of huge, huge places where most of the fabrics were displayed nicely and you could actually see what was there. It was nice, but I am used to the friendly atmosphere I get at my LQS. |

Everyone who's been there agrees that you have to go there with a mission or an out-of-print fabric in mind. You and I have to be taking about the same place. Fieldstone House, right? Yes...where are you? Our guild has a dinner meeting there every September. |
Really? How do you fit in there for dinner? I am outside of Binghamton but am up your way fairly often for work.

Fortunately, as evidenced by my stash, this isn't a permanent problem :lol: |
