I try to be loyal to my LQS because I enjoy going there and don't want it to close. However, I have cut back on my spending during the past year because I am getting ready to retire. After I retire, I hope to be able to take a class at the LQS occasionally and will purchase the supplies for the class at the LQS. That being said, I do order online when a fabric I am familiar with goes on clearance, just to build up my stash.
