That must be it - my destination today is Mill End Textiles - very good prices - lots of flat folds off the bolt, piled up about 2 feet deep. They are always a mess, and for me to find what I don't realize I need, I have to straighten it all up - I should just get a job there..... (DISCOUNT?!?!)

Yes you may get a discount on shopping there, but ... the temptation to really buy because you get a good deal is alot. i worked for a big fabric store for awhile and I have to say I most likely gave my paycheck and more for the fabrics I bought. I paid them for me to work there! ;-)

When you go, can you pick up a bottle of light pink Rit dye for a piece of white print that I want to be pink?

Thank you!

Cute! - My shopping trip took a twist and took me to JoAnns, bought the cutting table that was on sale for $79, the box didn't look so good so I mentioned it to the clerk (didn't want a damaged table), who immediatly said they could take an extra 20% off the price! SOLD! Since I saved on the cutting table off I went to KMART and got a different table for my sewing machine! Maybe off to Mill Ends after work tomorrow :roll: :lol:

If I go to my favorite LQS, there is somebody to chat with!

and you look and don't buy?
where can I get this disease?
