I have to give my enjoyable moments credits to Quilt Harbor in Aberdeen --- I get to play with the fabrics, explore the horizons with my Bernina 380 and 1300mdc and have great help as needed. To go farther away, I travel to Elma Variety with their great selection of quilting fabrics both regular cottons and flannels...but then Elma Variety has had a special place in my heart since I was a kid and went their with my Daddy to purchase gifts for my Momma and my siblings. Owners have changed through the years but the small town flavor suits me.
If we are talking larger retail establishments, I would say Fabric Depot followed here in Western Washington with Hancocks on 38th St. in Tacoma --wide variety and pleasant customer experience. Also love stopping at Gigi's in Yelm. I go for quality and service and hope the price is within range of the pocket book.
