I really get frustrated by this over simplified sentiment I've seen many times. Sometimes LQS prices are not an option. So if you can't afford to go to the LQS should you just not buy fabric anywhere else ever? Not always being able to afford them doesn't mean you are sitting around WANTING them to go out of business.
My local LQS, (Finally Together) is owned by a lovely lady who is so sweet, she deserves my business. I just wish I had the funds to give her all of my business. I think she understands that. I have spent some "mad cash' there for a Dresden Ruler that I really wanted, in stead of buying it online. If the online price matches hers, I will hot foot it to her every time. :thumbup:
