    I know how compulsive I am too, but I just keep telling myself enough is enough!
    I just finished reorganizing my sewing room. Spent a whole day just going thru my fabric. And it took a whole day. Felt just like Christmas.

    Try saying to your self is it a WANT OR A NEED and then go from there... Sorry but I don't buy material I use all of what I have that has been given to me when I bought a quilting machine. The only material I did buy was for the backing. Merry Christmas

    Instead of adding to shopping cart I now add to wish list. Keeps me from buying.

    I justify buyin more fabric by telling myself that prices are going way up next year, and I won't be able to afford to buy anymore. And I only buy on clearance/sale under $4. And I delete most emails from fabric stores without opening them. And I've found fabric shopping is the best cure for depression. And I really don't spend much money on anything else. And...and...and....

I've heard of them having a charge card & running it up to $10-20,000. I won't use a charge card thank goodness!
    one of my medications can do this too and my Dr asks me every time if I have any impulses the I have difficulty controlling, gambling, drinking, shopping.

    I do not shop on line, BUT I have some really GREAT shops nearby! I do not need any more fabric, so I am staying out of the stores.

    Guess what? You will find something to do with your fabric and besides, it really doesn't eat much!!!

    I have begun to do that also. I say to myself, "I have too much already... so why even look". Sometimes I do look but no one is giving free shipping away unless you buy 'x' amount of fabric, etc.

    Currently, I am re sorting my fabric and I am discovering fabric I had forgotten about. It is a nice discovery. I have also learned that I have had pretty good tastes in the past. I like what I have purchased. LOL We are funny creatures! :lol:
