The Singer Shop was one of the better stores available back in the 60's and then Hancock was the other fine shop. Hudson's (now Macy's) also carried good fabrics as did Sears. I shopped at all of them.
It is amazing how things changed over the years. I lived in the Metro Detroit area and we had them all as well as Ben Franklins and Kresgees for less costly fabrics. So many good choices. Now they are all gone. LQS are far and few between and JAF is not my choice for so many things. I do most of my shopping online.
