I shop at my LQS regularly and buy my fabric and patterns there. It probably takes me longer to finish a project than alot of you so it's a longer time between purchases. I also bought my Pfaff sewing machine and serger there. Great service and classes! When I need notions and batting I go to JoAnn's and use the coupons. Today is a sidewalk sale at the LQS-all the fabric on the sidewalk is marked way down. So guess where I am headed next...
