Because of my business, I shop at all available places to buy fabric. Even my small independent quilt shops. I spend about $200-$300 per week on fabric, so I really need a variety. I want to support each and every one of these places in my area. I personally know all the employees in each store, and have become good friends with each and every one of them. A few have become good customers of mine.
I also do alot online too. So I do support everyone, from the conglomerate to the small little store. And they all support me in whatever way they can.
