I guess it's time I start using more muslins along with my stash to stretch it out. I hope the locals can survive. Althought I do shop online often to save money, I do like to do what I can to support my LQS too.

They say after the first of the year taxes are going up and up so better buy now.:thumbdown:
Think I will get myself that embriodering machine that I have thought about for so long.
Either now or never
ND with W=M not selling fabric , other places can charge what they want. :hunf:
