    Depends on where I'm at in my own particular binge/purge cycle of fabric buying. I tend to have a buying fast for several months, trying to use up stash, and then suddenly lose all self control and buy yards and yards of fabric on sale.

    Right now I'm trying not to bring any more fabric home, so I'd be avoiding that store.

    If I had the money to do that I would. A good sale should not be passed by. I only buy on sale right now and I do not have a big stash so I am not doing all I want to do right now but, I am still looking up.

    Depends on if I had the money and the space. Right now I have neither - so I have to go with my stash.

    I'd have to go check it out at least. 60% is about wholesale so they are trying to clear out old stuff before inventory comes along. You may find wonderful bargains or just the stuff you didn't want the last time you were there. I vote for checking it out, with your purse locked in your car.....if you can't pass up the bargain, you still have to go outside before you hand over the $$$.

    this fits me to a T

    At 60% off, I would definitely shop!

    In the past, I would have bought. Now, I'm trying to use up my stash.

    It would depend on the fabric and how big my stash is . A good stash is always being rotated , and fabrics making there way into projects... but if there has been far more input .... and very little output...... leave the $$ in your pocket ... there will be more sales... and the fabrics keep getting better every year !

    I would buy now if I found something I liked. Who knows what fabric prices will be a year from now.
