...you go into a LQS or any fabric store? Notions, fabrics? If fabrics, which ones? No matter how much fabric in the shop I always seem to gravitate first to the batiks?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Any new fabric line......I have to check that out first!

Batiks are my first stop and then the sale fabric.

New fabric lines are usually what I check out first, then any kits since my LQS usually has great deals.

You are still a lot more methodical than I am :-). Once I have thoroughly inspected the batiks, I notice the notions... Ooooh look at that shop sample...is that a new line of... Oooo that's a great price on fat qua....awesome I did't know she/he had a new book out.. Ooo...oooo...
Well, you get the idea. ;-)

Well, I won't say that I never get distracted.... anything pretty, shiny, or bright that catches my eye will have me heading in that direction!!!! I did forget that I do usually hit the sale aisle second, if I know where it is :wink:
I didn't mention that I usually have to repeat my wanderings atleast twice, as I always miss something the first go round LOL

Yeah the batiks usually call my name but if there is doggy fabric in route I have to stop. :thumbup:

I tend to start on the left side and work my way around the whole store. Even if I know what I'm looking for and know the layout of the store really well, I still seem to always do it this way.
