I have gone to Mill End Textiles in Eden Prairie a few times. ANd there is another one also close to Bloomington but I can't remember which suburb. I personally like Mill End Textiles stores as I usually try to buy backing for my quilts there, as that is where I try to be conservative in my quilt making. Although I live 2 hours from the Cities and I also live 2 hours from St. Cloud but that is where I usually go to Mill End Textiles. In fact I was there yesterday and bought backing for a quilt that I need to get done for Christmas. Good Luck.
