I feel your pain. MS is woefully devoid of good fabric shops. I was going to suggest the Bernina store in Jackson but looks like you're a lot closer to Memphis than that. If you get a chance to be down this way stop in though, they have just expanded and have a lot more fabric than before.

Since Wal-Mart removed the fabric department from our store, we have to drive about 45 miles (one-way) to purchase fabric. There's a nice quilt store in one direction, and a Hobby-Lobby, Hancock's and small quilt store in the other direction. The small shop carries mostly sewing machines, with a limited selection of fabric.
Other than that, it's a 2-hour or slightly longer (one-way) trip to shops in Dallas and one in Paris.

I go to the Paducah show each year and tend to buy a lot at the show and at the huge Hancock's there.Other than that you have to resort to online shopping. I'm still a little nervous when I do that because the color I see on the monitor is not always the color I receive in the mail. Oh well, I call that stash building.

If I need something fast, it's JoAnn's armed with coupons as it's ten minutes from home. Otherwise, I shop online or through e-bay where I've had wonderful luck & very low prices. Just watch their performance ratings before you buy.
