I wouldn't have been comfortable buying something from a dirty store, either, but the chatty gal doesn't sound much different than most of us here on QB!

Not a quilt store but a second hand bookstore. The owner had several cats it smelled in his shop, and you see the dust mites and dander in the air. It was a sunny day. But the worst, and it still makes me gagged to think of it, was a huge spread of cat poo behind on of the bookshelves. The owner seemed oblivious to it all. Phew.

I would be happy with choices==the only 2 w/in driving distance are owned by same person. They are interested in selling expensive machines, and it took over 10 minutes to find a hand sewing needle to check a needle threader.
