There is a thread here today about LQS going out of business. I will go without something else in order to help support the local business owners; and I am on a fixed income.
Not to be rude, but if my LQS would try lowering their prices a tad, I would drive over there instead of to JoAnns. I recently went into Walmarts to get some paper towels and tp, and we went over to the fabric dept. to pick up a bottle of machine oil (darn, still need to work on that machine), and the woman who works over there greeted me, smiled, asked how I was. Trust me, she is getting minimum wage and a hard time from management. I am lucky to get noticed at JoAnns. The people at the LQS welcomed me, but were not very interested in helping me.
Now, if I were to buy one of the machines there....
